Nintendo Wants GoldenEye Back

Sometimes I play old games to bring back the memories but they just aren't the same anymore

I've been waiting for Goldeney Source though. It won't be the same but it should be great. Plus mouse/keyboard FTW
 
Rare sold 51% to M$, which prompted Nintendo to sell their remaining 49% to Microsoft as well. Rare is now a 1st party studio owned by Microsoft.

As a 2nd-party dev for Nintendo, Rare retained ownership of the trademarks of all their games except for any intellectual prop. acquired from Nintendo (Donkey Kong, for example). As such they would have to grant (sell) Nintendo permission to publish any of their games (ie Goldeneye). It has been reported that they said this will never happen, but they haven't ever made an announcement. Goldeneye is a more tricky situation b/c of the Bond license which is owned by Activision.
 
Those graphics look very pretty. They dont like Wii graphics though.

Some of those screen shots bring back memories. Goldeneye and mario kart on the N64 were addiciting.
 
Rare/Nintendo developed Goldeneye... EA Bought the license to the James Bond rights and Rare scrapped a sequel to Goldeneye and instead made their own character, a female named Joanna Dark, thus, Perfect Dark was created...

EA recently lost the rights to Activision, and Activision is smart enough to keep the license and do something EA wouldn't do (make a good game )

Nintendo was the one out of the pairing that actually had the rights to Goldeneye, and since Rare was the 2nd party, they were allowed to those rights as Nintendo owned a large portion of the company (49% as stated above)

Another thing to take into consideration... the majority of the group in Rare who created the Goldeneye game as well as Perfect Dark, also LEFT Rare during or shortly after Perfect Dark development and created their own offshoot 3rd party company ...

Goldeneye would and will never be the same, and honestly, I'd pay the 5-10 bucks to get the 64 version on the Wii, online play or no, as long as I could use a similar control scheme, as the control scheme on the N64 was perfectly suited for the game and worked entirely too well.

For a strictly port only version on the Wii, Nintendo needs no aqquisition of the Bond licensing for any reason, as it is an exisiting game that is still traded on the market (ebay for the most part) ... There are no royalties to be paid out for the licensing of the game whatsoever, as the market is now only selling used copies and the VERY rare brand new, but not in a retail market...

So the only problem in the whole goldeneye on the Wii is just Microsoft allowing Nintendo to use their 50% of the rights to the game that they aqquired when they bought Rare outright.






I do have to say this though...
I'm sure those who stayed with Rare in the Microsoft transition to becoming a 1st party developer are now currently kicking themselves in the fucking head for being used as pawns and nothing more... Rare hasn't put a single fucking quality game out yet on the XBOX or X360 ... Conker fucking sucked ass, Kameo was a hell of a letdown, and Perfect Dark was laughable... what else do they have... grabbed by the ghoulies? fuck that noise...


oh well.
