I remember seeing a video somewhere that was goldeneye supposedly running on a 360, but i also heard something about rights issues or something.

Yeah, Nintendo was being a bitch and shut them down. (Seriously what is NIntendo going to do with the game? Rare has the licenses to it.)

Rare made the game, but Nintendo owns its rights. Microsoft and Nintendo came to an agreement to have both consoles be allowed to release a version of the game. Neither are allowed on their own because Rare made the game, but Nintendo owns the rights to the original. Upon the agreement, Rare went to work on the 360 version of the game, which was to be an XBL arcade title. They were totally reworking the game to be in HD. While Rare was making the 360 version, they had zero intentions of making a port for the Wii's virtual console, so Nintendo stepped in and cancelled the deal. What I get from the situation is that Nintendo was expecting Rare to port the game for the Wii, rather than them do it themselves, so they said no. It's a shame really. Personally, I think Rare should send a big FU to Nintendo and make the original Perfect Dark for the XBL Arcade. At least Rare still owns the Perfect Dark franchise, hence Perfect Dark Zero for the 360.

Goldeneye isn't Goldeneye unless four of you are sitting side by side staring at four tiny boxes, on an equally tiny, portable television. That's how I used to rock my Goldeneye game back in the day.

rare made the game. banjo kazooie is coming to xbla, why not goldeneye

ok, I hadn't even heard about the agreement between nintendo and microsoft...thats bs dude, if they made the agreement, they can't break it like that.

Its not coming to xbla becouse Nintendo sucks.

Old News, Its never going to come to XBLA cause Nintendo and Microsoft are greedy whores.

Microsoft will continue to negotiate the rights from Nintendo, they see that everyone wants it on XBLA.

"rare made the game. banjo kazooie is coming to xbla, why not goldeneye"

Let it go. Goldeneye was good because nothing could hold a candle to its control setup on a console. I personally don't want to see HD Goldeneye, especially not HD Goldeneye with online with douchebags that keep teabagging me.

To put it simply, Goldeneye is a "You had to be there" kind of game. Most of us were there, and loved it. Let's be content with those memories.

yeah they got it up and running and LIVE support and everything but Iwata is too stubborn to allow a N64 game be put on Xbox save for Banjo Kazooie which he can do nothing about

I'm really mad that these two companies have come to this conclusion. It would have been perfect if the game came out this year on XBLA since it would have been a great way to celebrate its 10th year, since the release back in 1997. Let's just hope Nintendo, Rare and Microsoft come to a mutual agreement in the near future.

That'd be sweet if it can to XBLA. But it won't...

dont forget about Activision in this mess. they currently hold the Bond licence and could have caused a fuss about a Goldeneye remake. They wouldn't want people to get their Bond fix before their Bond 22 game comes out.

good article , really cleared things up. he seems to think Nintendo and Microsoft both want to see a remake of Goldeneye come outm but they're stuck on the small details. Hopefully when Quantum of Solace comes  out it'll motivate all parties to sort this debacle out.

Thanks to Nintendo being CUNTS it wont happen

We will probably never see it on the arcade thanks to Nintendo...

It's hard to go back and play the original now, the controls are so...not right. They feel completely foreign ever since Halo and the like have come out lol. But a slight re-tooling of the controls for an xbla port could be fun on multiplayer. But at the same time, I don't know if it'd live up to what it was in it's glory days. I find that shooters are the only genre I find it really hard to go back and play. Maybe It's just me. But bad fps 3d graphics look weird to me now. Not as weird as fps 2d graphics though lol.

"Yeah, Nintendo was being a bitch and shut them down. (Seriously what is NIntendo going to do with the game? Rare has the licenses to it.)
"   Yeah they ruined it for all of us. Way to make yet another mistake Nintendo.

Yes, by all means...let's play an extinct and trashy shooter in the midst of all these amazing ones.

They were making a HD remake genius. If you actually read about it, you would know this.

:'(

"Yeah, unfortunately it doesn't look like it's going to happen due to a conflict between Nintendo and Microsoft.  I guess that's what happens when you leave one major competitor for another.  Honestly I believe going to MS was the dumbest thing Rare has ever done.

Everybody seems to be forgetting that EA owns the James Bond license now."
