XBLA Goldeneye confirmed, also canceled

Just made me laugh.

007 has to be released for Wii. It is only natural for that to happen. Plus it would be a port from the N64 so you can't compare it to any current FPS. It is an epic game but any game that was produced in 2007 is going to have better AI...

You guys can go argue. I feel up for a game of goldeneye right now. Peace.

Online Petitions never work, but I signed it anyway. :D

I'm glad it's not going to the XBLA. 360 would be a terrible machine to play it on.


Actually my real post goes like this - I hope they don't re-release this on any system. The game was so good back in the day but it has aged terribly and it would be a shame to smash so many rose tinted glasses.

Wax my car when you are done with the nostalgia.

Undoubtedly a fine game at the time, but
today... the ...game... is ...too.....slow

I'd give the game a shot if they could smooth out the controls, and speed up the game play.

am i the only one who reads the actual story? it was NOT a remake but a somewhat new version with updates (new graphics, controls) to match today's games... also PS3 will never get Goldeneye since MS owns Rare and have no reason to even consider such a thing

Best deal for all would be
Xbox 360 gets new updated multiplayer version (no single player)
Wii gets original for VC

Just make it happen for both consoles, jeez. Wii60ers have to unite vs the PS3ers. xD

I signed the petition. I hope that they release it on the 360. I loved that game back when it was released and I can't imagine how much fun it would be over Live!

this was a horrible fps. i cant be the only one that thinks that, at that time pc ruled the fps genre.

I think this is why we won't see rare games on either console.

dammit Nintendo, go back to your money printing machines, and leave me with my Oddjob!

Knee shots FTW.

Hell yea good job Nintendo! I applaud their effort in not getting this available to 360 owners. Rare wishes they were back with them anyways, so what's the problem?

majority of the people seem to be confused with the story. Nintendo has 0 rights when it comes to lisencing. the only 2 companies with power are rare and activision. What happened is nintendo wanted goldeney for VC (who wants to pay for a rom with nothing new?). Rare says nope, you dont get it. Now rare asks activision (holders of 007 lisenese) if they can remake goldeneye with new maps, onlne multiplayer, and had resolution support. Activision says yes. Nintendo finds out, gets angry that they dont get it, tells activision to call off the lisence. Activision in good terms with nintendo, agrees. Now rare cannot make the game anymore. Rare purposes nintendo release VC and XBLA gets its remake. Nintendo refuses, knowing full well a remake on xbla will hurt their strait port sales on VC.

So in the end, this is 100% nitendos fault. I was a huge nintendo fan int he past but now i dispise them. I want my online goldeneye damn it.

The good news, Rare is most likely making PD64 for XBLA remake, which they hold 100% of the rights too. In a way if they do make this, we all win cause pd64 techincally is a better game, with 12 player support, more modes, maps and weapons. The only thing that kileld the original was bad framerate, which would be solved with the power of the 360. And since rare is making a perfect dark zero 2 (or sequel whatever you want to call it), Im sure a pd64 remake on xbla will be out around that time.

Im still wondering why people think nintendo holds any rights at all to the original goldeneye, because they hold nothing. goldeneye will never come out for VC alone. It either goes to nintendo and Ms or just MS. Theres no way to get it on just nintendo.

I just signed it, I'm number 8774!

I have a feeling that a re release would spell bad news for the game. It was awesome on the N64, a legend. Let it live the rest of it's days as one.

Putting it on both is easier said then done.

MS and Nintendo would probably release it for the same price, $15, just because they can charge whatever. The difference is Nintendo is smart enough to realize no one really wants Goldeneye from 12-13 years ago, they want a new one with online play. Sadly Nintendo is too dumb to do that, so they won't let MS get away with that and make more money than them.

Man this game kicked @ss back then! I'm pretty sure MS will be able to release it on XBLA soon.

I bet they will also release other Rare N64 games like Banjo 1-2, conker etc.

I would buy this game just to support Rare. It is dated. Even with new online additons, it is dated. The AI, textures, and control scheme is dated.

Since MS bought Rare, they have had hard times- and damn I love their games. So I would buy this in support of them.

Who'd have thought it. A port of a Nintendo game based off a Sony property would have trouble getting licenced on a Microsoft console.

screw XBox, bring that baby to the Wii! Where it belongs.

So somehow the only way this game will be any fun is if it's called GoldenEye and stars James Bond? Give me a break. Just rename it SilverTeeth and call the main character Jim Bund and ship it

well, y'can't play on wii.
can't play on 360.
but at least you can still play a little bit of it online, here:

all the fun and glory simplified to the point where you can play at work :)

Actually Conker was one of the few N64 Rare games that was published by Rare themselves NOT Nintendo!

Nintendo published Donkey Kong, Banjo, 007, Killer Insticnt Gold, and more.

Nintendo had Rare publish Conker themselves because of the content.

That is why M$ could remake Conker with no problem.

For Banjo and 007 Nintendo owns those games, they might not own Charectors though, so no one can re-publish those games unless a agreement is found.

If you really want to play Goldeneye and have a Source game, there's that. It's a pretty good recreation of it, and you don't have to mess with an N64 controller.
