Diddy Kong Racing Hits DS - DS

Info on this game is scarce. We were able to snag just one singular screenshot, and a short 1.4MB WMV format video. Here's what Rare, who are developing the game, had to say about it:

'E3 '06 is also the debut stage for our latest collaboration with Nintendo: we've possibly hinted at it in the past, but then again we've also hinted at a lot of other things, because we're like that. Yes, Diddy Kong Racing is our first official DS project, and Nintendo are busily promoting it as part of their next wave of big DS offerings for late 2006. It's based on the N64 classic but improved and expanded in ways that only the DS allows.

A few tantalising DKR DS info-bites to keep you going: eight-player single-card and multi-card WiFi play, touch-screen and microphone compatibility, some familiar faces in newly playable form, remodelled and retextured tracks, customisable vehicles, new modes, weapons and challenges, a little something called TT's Wish Races where you can create your very own tracks... and it doesn't end there.

But for now, kick back and enjoy the show, sunbeams!'

TT? Tiptup? Viewing the movie clip shows a Mario Kart-esque look - overhead map on the bottom screen, normal racing view on top.
