[QUOTE="LiquidAjax"]Does anybody know if for sure, goldeneye will hit VC? and when? any information would be greatly appreciated.gatsbythepig
It is really, very, extremely unlikely to ever happen. Exactly. Liquid, Dude.. I dunno how to tell you this, BUT.. RARE the creator of games like GoldenEye and Perfect Dark, Well they are no longer On Nintys side. They are now Basically owned by Microsoft/Xbox... That is why 360 has Perfect Dark Zero and thats why RARe could make Goldeneye 2 for 360. plus, all of the GOOD Developers from RARE left the company. to bad though. So there isthe story why GOldeneye WIll possibly NOT be coming to Wii VC
If they do some how strike a deal with several of the companies, They will most likely charge extra. Like TMNT was a $1 extra, except Nintendo will charge like $5 extra.

I know Rare made the game, i think. but wouldn't whoever owns the licensing of the James Bond name get the final verdict?
I'd say it will definetly come out on the VC and maybe XBL but will be cheaper on VC.
It's a tangled web of red tape with the games made by Rare for n64, in one case, yes, activision owns the license, nintendo published the games originally, and rare developed it, well nintendo and rare went seperate ways and now rare loses it's leaders and creators of rare's key games on n64 and snes, I can't really say what will happen with classic games such as killer instinct, blast corps, banjo kazooie, goldeneye, perfect dark, jet force gemini, and (to a lesser extent) diddy kong racing, I'd think that microsoft would have to edit out any reference to nintendo in any of the games if they decide to put them on xbl arcade, but hopefully nintendo, rare and microsoft can come to a final agreement in the future on whether these games will be allowed to be on the VC, we all just have to be hopeful and hope that these three, plus activision can make our wishes of playing these games again come true.
The only people Nintendo needs the rights from are those who own the character/movie licensing. Even though Rare developed Donkey Kong Country, Nintendo didn't need to do squat with them since they own the Donkey Kong name. But with Goldeneye, I am positive Rare has no say in publishing rights.
