I was talking about this with Stu... doesn't anyone find it odd Rare only showed one game at E3? I mean they have countless others in development and they would probably be able to at least showcase videos, but they didn't. Anyone have a reasonable explanation?
Well, if Rareware isn't actually going multi-platform, I wouldn't be surprised at all if none of their other games—Kameo, Sabrewulf, Donkey Kong Racing etc.—actually don't arrive until next E3. I mean look at the stretch of time between Conker's Bad Fur Day and Star Fox Adventures. Granted, there was a platform switch in between there, but Rareware is fully capable of delaying to the point where only one game is released in a year. They haven't even managed to put out a GBA game, for crying out loud.

I think it's reasonable not to show a game if you don't think it will come out before next year's E3. It more or less follows the pattern that Nintendo goes by at E3. In any case, if I were a Rareware and I were actually going multi-platform, I wouldn't start not showing my Nintendo games at E3. I want buzz, after all.

Bah, it's all a mess. I've got other things to worry about.
