IGN:

February 23, 2004 - Wireless gaming developer/publisher IN-FUSIO is pleased to announce that it's in bed with Bill Gates. Well, sort of. The two have struck a partnership that allows INiFUSIO to develop and release seven handset games based on exclusive Microsoft content. The games under the deal are:

Age of Empires 2: Gold Edition
Midtown Madness 3
Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge
Banjo Pilot
Zoo Tycoon
It's Mr. Pants
Sabre Wulf
The first game set to roll is Midtown Madness 3, which is currently on demo at 3GSM, the Cannes-based wireless festival.

"IN-FUSIO's broad platform support and legions of players made them an excellent choice for bringing some of our biggest game titles to wireless devices," says Ed Ventura, Director of Consumer Products Group for Microsoft Game Studios. "Each of these games already has worldwide appeal, and once they're wireless, people will truly be playing them everywhere."

It's True!!! Sob!!!

You do realize that THQ puts out all of Rare's GBA games, despite the fact that MS owns Rare, don't you?

Personally, I find the news that BP has been relegated to "TBA 2004" release status more disturbing.

Mmhmm... now if Microsoft were to publish Rare's games instead of THQ, then that'd be quite the pickle. But no fret ;)

What that article means, though, is that exclusive Microsoft content, in the mobile phone market, will only be on IN-FUSIO's platform. There's a bit of difference between a mobile phone and a handheld console ;)

They updated the official Banjo Pilot web page with an announcement.

Uh... Rare is still on the GBA. I don't see what you're so upset about.

You don't see why so many hopeless gamers get their pants in a knot over the slightest misunderstood articles? ;) I mean, it's like, their nature or something.
