But...I remember reading about the same topic in other websites, and many people said that it was nearly impossible. But suddenly, Viva Pinata was announced for DS.
This is interesting. Viva Pinata is a Rare game, released in a Microsoft system. Obviously Microsoft does not have properties in the portable gaming market, and the DS sells more than bread, so it's a smart move. In the case of Banjo-Kazooie it's different, because they are releasing BK3 for Xbox 360, so a port for DS is possible too. Don't forget that there is a GBA Banjo-Kazooie too.

Since they've been owned by Microsoft, Rare have released (as you say) a Banjo-Kazooie game on GBA, and Banjo Pilot as well that makes two, they did the Donkey Kong Country and Diddy Kong Racing ports for the GBA and DS, and more. Microsoft clearly don't mind them making handheld games while Microsoft don't have a handheld console, so they're not competing. With the Wii Virtual Console it's another matter, since it's competing directly with Xbox Live Arcade.
