I feel your pain sir. The title of this thread alone was enough to get my interest given the cluster you're going to need to deal with now.*beats head on table*
Microsoft owns Rare, the original developer. Nintendo is the publisher. Sony just owns the James Bond distribution rights.
The story in Xbox World 360 is based entirely on rumour and speculation. Unfortunately, we were never contacted by the publication to confirm information or participate in the story in any way, as we would have confirmed that we do not have the necessary rights to release GoldenEye on Xbox Live Arcade.
well if it ever did get released it would be cool,
Nor would Nintendo as well.
It's a licensing nightmare.
Goldeneye was and still is a Nintendo 64 game. Therefore, nintendo still has a say, even Reggie Fils-Aimé said they are going to get it on the virtual console for the wii.
"Would I love to see it on virtual console? Absolutely. But there are a lot of issues there." He made it sound like there's a chance. "Suffice it to say we would love to see it, so we're exploring all the rights issues."
So, this means microsoft might get it, BUT! nintendo will have some sort of say in who gets profits from it. Also I think there is going to be a dual launch on the wii's virtual console and xbox 360.
The ps3 will have slim chances of getting goldeneye since it never was on a sony console to begin with.
Lastly sony owns film rights. i doubt they care but somehow they will get money from bringing it out on the wii and 360. Anyways I wonder when this is going to happen the game is in legal hell right now and the outcome with all these companies will be an interesting one when goldeneye does get re-released in whatever form.
But my point is that nintendo is going to have HUGE say since it was the console that it was put out on 10 years ago. Also they aren't defunct company, which means the fight will go on and on.![]()
Whoa!! Praxis chill! Jeez I was trying to agree with you. That's Reggie quote is what I read. I was just lazy and wanted to get a response out. Man I love nintendo so don't go off on me. I was trying to say that nintendo would get it on the virtual console and microsoft. But at the end of the day I was trying to defend your points in previous posts.Geez people just need to relax on video games I care passionately about them but there's no point going off if I leave out the quote or quotes I just wanted to contribute. Yikes!
