Bye bye to Falco then?

Now that Rare's gone what will happen to Falco? They were hinting on his own game but now he's just gone completely. Gotta wait for Namco's installment for the bird I guess. *sigh*

EDIT: Looks like he may sort of be in the game. He looks somewhat gayer though. Can't quite put my finger on it. Might be the leather and the eyes. Cool none the less.
