Goldeneye 64 on XBLA???

[OneManClan]

Hey,

Has there been any news as far as seeing Goldeneye 64 on XBLA??? I know there is a lot of "red tape" with this particular game, but wouldn't SOME money be better then the none that they are getting for the game presently as it collects virtual dust?

I heard it was coming to the Wii ?? Other than that I too would LOVE it on XBLA

Really? If it is, I 'Wii' be buying the Nintendo Wii.

The only thing I was able to find was a old article stating that Reggie wanted it on the Wii...I am hoping that something can be worked out sooner rather then later.

No. It isn't happening anywhere. There's a legal clusterfuck involved.

Microsoft owns Rare.
Activision owns the 'James Bond' video game rights
EA has the Bond license 'rented' right now.
And of course Nintendo published Goldeneye 007 in '97.

Yeah I too heard about it supposedly being in the works for comming to the Wii. Nothing about the Live Arcade though.

Nintendo as far as I know have been wanting it on the Wii for a while now... but the problem they are having is that while RARE would happily allow them to put it on there... RARE no longer own the rights to the 007 Franchise... so Nintendo are having to negotiate with the current holders of that licence so that they can release it.

I can't remember who has that licence right now off the top of my head... but thats where the problem lies as far as Goldeneye is concerned.

If Goldeneye was to be released on XBLA I could definately see it becoming the most popular arcade game on there, no probs!

I know I'd buy it!

Yeah I'd buy it for sure...even if they only put up the multiplayer part with all the different maps...with enhanced graphics...

[oli3032]

Stop! Stop teasing me!! *goes to get dusty N64 from attic*

Goldeneye would be so awesome. I would pay 400MS points..no wait..better 800MS!

[oli3032]

Aww that was lovely .

I actually sold mine, but bought another one of a friend a year later when I was having Goldeneye and Perfect Dark withdrawel symptoms .

Hehe, I have often grumbled about paying 800MS for arcade games (even though it really isn't a great deal of cash) but for Goldeneye I would happily pay double that!

Oli, 400 or 800MSP for XBLA games such as Geometry Wars or Worms is not a rip off
400MSP for Pac-Man and then Ms. Pac-Man is.

[oli3032]

Depends on which games you are looking at I guess. 800MS for Worms or Doom isn't bad. 400MS is very reasonable!

I wish they'd just price things properly...at least on PS3 everything is just shown in currency rather than points...

Wouldn't Goldenye with enhanced graphics be like a full 360 title though? As far as I can remember it is about 25-30 levels long. Might be a large download lol.

The graphics wouldnt be thatenhanced

[Wrathbringer]

I would love to see this game on the Arcade. It brings back memories of coming home from junior high/high school with 3 other buddies and just play it to death. Ahhh how so little homework got done during the 2-3 years we played it hehe

[oli3032]

I think it sort of defined the whole console 4 player deathmatch thing .

I believe its under 15-20 megs...tops! It could easily fit under the XBLA guidelines.

There's a cure for that... it's called 'Perfect Dark Zero'

[oli3032]

Yeah but in comparison PDZ is a pile of crap imo lol.

I always thought Goldeneye was rubbish... :|

[oli3032]

Really? You are honestly the first person who I have heard say that.

My three favourites on the N64 were Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and Donkey Kong 64 (incidently all made by the same company lol)

Lol yeah I meant it was 'a cure for PD withdrawal syndrome', in that it removes every tendency to pick up the game again

[Chris]

I've heard a lot of people say it. It's usually* the Ninotypes who just disagree for the sake of looking different and going against the crowd.

 edit:

*not always
