Microsoft Says Nintendo's Legal Power Over GoldenEye 007 is More Than Just influence

"Here we go again with a newly baked episode of the never-ending but always-interesting GoldenEye XBLA drama. Some weeks ago we published several comments coming from Microsoft about this sensitive topic. You don't see representatives from gaming companies commenting on unofficial games everyday, and if the unofficial game in question is the epicentre of a licensing conflict between three major developers, the chances of getting a single word equal zero.

That's why we felt both shocked and confused when they told us that "the rights to the title [meaning GoldenEye 007] are shared between Microsoft and Nintendo." As we said then, we would ask Microsoft again about that part just to make sure we heard well."
