edit: to all who are disagreeing, read the second paragraph and rethink your decision

too bad for MS, most of Rare is at Free Radical, developing Haze for PS3, with great AI
:D

Now if only the Military could see what they can do with AI and defence systems....

i be back

Here's a novel concept:

Release it on XBLA;

-and-

Release it on the Virtual Console.

Win/Win.

I'm sure the logistics are more complicated than that. But that seems like a great solution to me.

I so want to play this game again. I hope Microsoft will still try to get this game on the 360.

Such a great game for its time but it will look an feel really outdated in 2008. The game won't feel the same without the N64 controller, rumble pack and three friends playing on a standard TV with 4 split boxes on the screen.

As much as I am disappointed, I understand Nintendo veto. Even if released simultaneously in the Virtual Console, Microsoft would have an edge as its version would be an upgraded one. As such, Nintendo has no incentive to allow it.

Geez, I cannot believe people are still discussing this POS FPS.

When Goldeneye was released, there were already PC FPS that completely blew the game out of the water and these titles have already been released on consoles.

Get over it already, Goldeneye is one of the most overrated games of all time. Even if it came out on XBLA with online play it wouldn't be popular at all once people got over the hype and realized what a primative game it actually was. Updated graphics or not.

Its jointly shared but apparently Nintendo will not let MS touch one of thier classics. Which is fine by me. Dont help the competition at all, and they're #1 this gen. They need nothing from no one.

MS fankids need games, that's all that im getting out of this fiasco.

Microsoft shouldn't be pestering Nintendo like this and making them look like the bad. The truth is Microsoft wouldn't allow halo to be put on the wii so why should Nintendo do the same for a game that THEY published. If Nintendo says NO then its NO! I dont think negatively of them because of this because Goldeneye was one of the greatest first person shooters ever and I personally wouldn't want to see it in the hands of Microsoft. Just my 2 cents.

If a was microsoft i would stick it to nintendo and publish perfect dark. Msft owns the rights to that game so they can do it. Plus, perfect dark was the same core game just different weapons and storyline.

Yea, right I'm so sure that everyone on XBL would stop playing Halo 3 and CoD4 to go play Goldeneye. Give me a flipping break. People that really want Goldeneye to come back out are like those fat girls that wear Nintendo gear to try to appeal to nerds that actually know nothing about gaming...aka, posers.

It is my opinion that the only way we are ever going to see a release of this old classic is to get Wii gamers to pressure Nintendo into getting it released on the VC. And in order to do that, they are going to have to let microsoft release it on XBLA. Nintendo couldn't care less about xbox gamers or microsoft getting this game, but if their is a HUGE demand (and I am talking really huge here) for this game on the Wii then I'm sure they might, maybe, possibly, (they goddamn well better) agree to release it. I don't think there is any other way. Microsoft could offer them millions and I doubt nintendo would budge. Sad but true.

I used to be a fan of Nintendo, but for me their true prime peaked back in the days of the SNES. The N64 was great and all, but not enough good games, though they did give us some bonefied classics. The Gamecube had some decent games, but nothing absolutely stellar, besides Metroid of course, that was unique to the system (and I owned over 30 Gamecube games, don't try and convice me otherwise, RE4 doesn't count it came out on PS2 as well). The Wii, it's fun but gimmicky, just not for me. I never did like how nintendo did buisness. Not that the other two companies are that much better, but nintendo was always very sneaky.

Either leak it, strike a deal with Nintendo, create something original or shut up, it's getting boring now.

Of course ms is gonna come out and say this it pits the public against nintendo like this foolish getpwnt guy. Nobody knows why they do not want ms to re release it maybe they have plans for it it. If nintendo has a say in it they can do whatever they want. You can blame who ever but half the xbox fans that will be mad about this were happy to hear the trouble blue ray players might have releasing do to the patent dispute. Same type of deal it sucks but you can't really throw around the blame like that.

Why does MS and Nintendo have nothing but old games to download off their networks.
Hell...the 360's main downloadable Geometry Wars was on the PS2 and yet their trying to take credit for Sony's work.
Both companies are a rip off they charge you too much for old games.
Get classics on PSN- $5 each
Wii= $10
360= $15 WTF?
Both Nintendo and Microsoft are just playing it safe Sony likes taking risks all those PSN Classics were made by college students and guess what at the same time the creators of these games started their own companies and are making the gaming industry bigger and fresher.
ex.) The Game Company (8 College Students) are the creators of Flow.
When will the 360 and Wii ever take any risks?
Never.
Greed corrupts them.

because classic games can be the most fun sometimes...theres nothing wrong with people wanting to play a few retro games, just coz these are next gen consoles (barring wii) doesnt mean that everybody HAS to play next gen games
