RUMOR: Mr Pants is Back!

It's Mr Pants

Rare's #1 mascot is now rumored to be coming to XBLA. No, not Banjo. Not Conker. Not Joanna Dark (at least in this post). It's Mr Pants!!! Surfer Girl has revealed that one of the Rare XBLA games that is coming will feature Mr Pants. That's all we know for now. Given the fact that Mr Pants has only starred in one game 2005's It's Mr Pants (GBA, 76%), it may be a safe bet to think that that may be the game. It's Mr Pants was a puzzle game which forced you to create large groups of blocks of the same color (check out this YouTube video for more information).

What do you think? Will be seeing Mr Pants in his "classic" puzzle game, in something new, or will this stay just a rumor?

I wonder if Mr Pants will

I wonder if Mr Pants will work his way into the other rumored Rare XBLA title The Fast and the Furriest? Perhaps he'll be the announcer for the mini-game madness?

Ohhh... that could be. I
Ohhh... that could be. I would actually stick that above It's Mr Pants in my list I think.

JFG Baby

For those of you that have followed Rare carefully during it's glory days would remember that Mr. Pants was in Jet Force Gemini for the N64 as an unlockable cheat.

I remember it, it was hilarious. Once you collected enough severed Bug heads (lol) you could unlock a 'cheat code' that turned all blue bugs into Mr. Pants, it was hilarious shooting those guys, lol.

It's not really his own game, JFG that is, but he was in it and he was incredible.

Maybe you can unlock Juno in this xbla game as a character or an enemy?

Doubt it...but you never know.

JFG
Ohhh yeah, I remember that cheat on JFG. It would be great to see JFG on XBLA. I miss the way those monsters blow up with gallons of blood spewing from their bodies. Classic gorefest.

Dude, I know! They could

Dude, I know!

They could follow it with a full-fledged JFG 2 offering on 360...but that's just my dream, probably won't happen...
