Doesn't Nintendo own the rights to the game?

i believe Rare and Activision hold different licenses over it. Rare, who MS owns, because they developed it in the first place. And Activision because they have exclusive rights to any new Bond releases.

It would explain why Nintendo haven't released it on Wii Virtual Console. With it being one of the few N64 FPS games that would sell very well, wouldn't you expect Nintendo to rush to release it.

it will never release on virtual console because Rare owns the game. There are 2 people who own this game, Rare and Activision (because they currently hold the license). Only those 2 working together can decide where this game is released. And forunetly for us, RARE is owned by microsoft, so the only place it could be released is for xbox.

Get 100 notes in mumbo's mountain (or any other level): 10 achievement points!

Get 5 jinjo's in Mumbo's Mountain (or any other level): 5 achievement points!

Get 10 puzzle peices in Mumbo's Mountain (or any other level): 15 achievement points!

Man, that would be a real stick in the eye of the Virtual Console -- an N64 game on a MS console. Good thing I own both of them ;-)

It would be cool if they would update the controls so you could use duel analog sticks. I wouldn't want to move around with one stick and look up and down with the d-pad or abxy buttons.

Nintendo supposedly gave up a lot of these rights when Rare was acquired. And if that's true all they really retained were items related to established Nintendo properties, meaning we're not going to see Diddy Kong or Krystal any time soon. Unfortunately, Nintendo, Rare and MS have not been very forthcoming with who exactly owns what and in what senses to my knowledge.

This is great. I have fond memories of this game. Shoot I still own the damn thing but my 64 acts up so I don't play it anymore. Would be nice as a VC on Wii. But if this is XBLA hell yes I will get this.

According to this article it's been blocked by Nintendo.

http://www.oxm.co.uk/article.php?id=2456

Since this is all just speculation currently I don't know what to believe. Still, there's more of an audiance for this title given hard core gamers own 360's, I think it would make more money for Activision and MGM if it were on XBLA.

Time will tell.

I had read about that at GoNintendo and apparently this 'new rumor' overrides that

So who knows at this point.

I don't know about anyone else, but I loved the 64 for the 4 player FPS's and that made the jump to the 360 that much more natural (I know I'm skipping a couple of generations). This would be a perfect fit for XBLA, but knowing Ninty, they're gonna find a way to stop this from happening (if I can't have it, no one will). Damnit Bill Gates, just buy Nintendo already! You have more than enough time on your hands, now! Putting Sony out of business would only be the icing on the cake.

I actually would be really surprised to see this happen although it would be awesome. The reason why is that when Rare (people that made the game) went to MS (people that currently own Rare) from Nintendo (had Goldeneye come out for their system) it probably wasn't ever mentioned on how downloadable distributution of the game would work for the three parties involved and who had the rights seeing as it nobody had thought of it at the time. But it would be awesome if it did come out.

Just for the record, if this game had online I'd totally be Jaws, even though his height gives him a huge disadvantage it'd be awesome when you "get all up in your opponents face" and they have to see the pixalated grills of Jaws smiling at them. That'd be awesome.

If there's a tip from you, I don't see it. Beside that, we find our stories all over the place. If you tipped us but didn't get credit, it's not personal.

I was just joking around I am not. Look at your Xboxlive inbox there should be a message there. I sent it to you and Dustin. I was just joking around I am just glad that stories that I do tip get inthere with or with out credit. I just care about the fanboys knowing. I didn't take it personal Now if you were Knuckles then this would be a different story LOL jkjk

Wii60 guy here, and I gotta say if GoldenEye really does hit XBLA....wow. Castlevania SOTN, REZ and then this- those three games alone in one spot would make XBLA the best home gaming console since I first opened up my 2600 in the 80's!

I've got to think Goldeneye with online multiplayer would immediately become one of the best (if not THE best) XBLA games.

If this happens, I really hope there's an achievement for beating Facility on 00 in 2:05 ;)

It's a wonderful idea to dismantle old games, and improve them with innovative and new-wave technology on new systems. However, look at what happened when N64 tried to redo Donkey Kong Country: Mario World 64, replaced with the Donkey Kong Crew...terrible.
Goldeneye for 360 would be outstanding.
Although, I've been thinking: Why not redo the SNES version of Donkey Kong Country--same levels, boses and achievements, but much harder and from the point-of-view of Donkey Kong, rather than side-screen scroll.
A little far fetched.

Take Care,
S.

If goldeneye comes out on the 360 it would be a bigger release than GTA 4. Bye bye PS3 you may have won over the world with blue ray (the only excuse for buying a PS3) but you have lost the console gaming war.
Come on goldeneye !!
