Never Say Never Again?

This is a story about money, betrayal, confrontation and revenge. It only needs a girl to be suitable for a 007 movie, and James Bond is indeed its main character. Since Microsoft and Nintendo launched their respective classic games download services, there has been a lot of talk about a possible and widely desired revision of Rare's popular GoldenEye 007 for the N64. However, a massive whirlpool of legal issues always stood in the way.

...why Nintendo SUCKS. F#ck you, Iwata and Miyamoto. :o

Nintendo is getting all high and mighty again. Obviously the live arcade version would sell better, but nintendo would still profit from the deal. They need to stop being 2 year olds and grow up. I love my wii, but goddamn if that wouldn't be the best game ever on live arcade.

They could release the original on the Wii and make a new one on the XBA..both win, plus rare will get its share anyway.

@stretchy i dont really understand your complaint.
if they release a version on XBLA then what is nintendo doing exactly to the game?
you do not make sense @ all.

[Wardy]

@sidar he makes perfect sense. his complaint is that nintendo wont allow it to be brought to XBLive AND to the Wii because they are getting high and mighty. Both Microsoft and Nintendo would benefit if it did in fact come to both systems. What could be clearer than that.

[ChickeyCantor]

how is it nintendo's doing?
James bond license isnt with nintendo
Its rare who programmed it

so I really dont see what nintendo is going to do anyway.
If its all up to nintendo then there would be golden eye on VC a long time ago.

" According to the same source, this amazing edition never got the green light because Nintendo"
ACCORDING TO THIS ACCORDING TO THAT, we dont even know if its all true from the beginning.

Only hard evidence that there would be a new version on XBLA could prove this right..
and that picture doesnt tell much either

I don't see why Nintendo would WANT to improve the 360's arcade library. Especially using one of their games.

[mighty_douche]

its really cool, exactly the same as the original golden eye but made on the half-life 2 SDK (so you get HL2 GFX, Sound quality etc).

give it a try its FREEEEEEE!!!

heres a link for some of the xbox fans who might have been confused by that^^

good job nintendo. this game belongs to the big n... rare and microsoft try to steal the thunder from nintendo by bringing out a superior version for their xbox360.. yeah sounds like microsoft and rare are the ones that suck..... still hope to see it on virtual console. microsoft and sony can step aside as wii win 08 hands down too

[mcgrawgamer]

This is still all rumor and speculation but I can see nintendo being tight with goldeneye especially with the prospect of a high def version being on another system. Looks like msoft is trying to partner with nintendo rather than compete on certain aspects letting games like viva pinata and blue dragon get ds titles seems like good business also they attempted to have the game released on both platforms it's not like that hasnt' happened before. Looks like Nintendo and it's fanboys (you) are getting back to your old ways. arrogant and stuck in their ways...LOL.

Screw GoldenEye 007 for the VC! How about MS sends Rare off to Nintendo HQ to ask permission to do a 10th anniversary edition for simultaneous release on XBLA & Wii!
