I think Nintendo must own some sort of rights to Goldeneye. I also find it interesting that "Goldeneye 007" is listed as a Nintendo title in the Nintendo History on Smash Bros Brawl - I'm not sure if that's a list of titles Nintendo have published, developed or both but it's definately more to Nintendo than a game created by Rare on the Bond licence.

I dont think Nintendo ever owned Rare, I know that back in the beginning of the N64 era Nintendo had a major deal with Rare for them to make games for Nintendo systems only. Thats where the DKC games came from as well as Killer Instinct and GoldenEye.

Killer Instinct and GoldenEye were N64 exclusives made by Rare for Nintendo since neither of the games used Nintendo's own characters everything for those games is Rare property, of course the James Bond stuff was licensed to Rare at the time of GoldenEye's (movie) release from the company who owns the James Bond rights.

However, I think that even though those games Killer Instinct and GoldenEye are now owned by Microsoft they are still not allowed to put them on the XBLA without consent from Nintendo since they were made origianl for Nintendo but likewise Nintendo cant put them on the VC without Microsoft's consent. To makes matters worst with GoldenEye N64 they would have to have Activison/Blizzards consent for that game since they now have the rights to James BOnd video games.

My friend is a HUGE Golden-Eye fan, and he dumped his Wii in favor of a 360, so now, I'm laughing in his face!

I've never played the original, so I may not get much enjoyment out of it...

It's not a remake. It's just a totally new James Bond FPS using the same name only for markting reasons. If you wanna play the original GoldenEye007 you will have to buy a Nintendo64 and the cartridge.

You can stop laughing! There was also a new James Bond game announced for Xbox360. So Wii and Xbox360 get both new videogames starring James Bond. But unfortunately nobody gets a real remake of GoldenEye.

PS: Buying a Xbox360 was definitely a good choice for your friend (especially when he likes playing FPS). I would have also kept the Wii, though.

Nintendo was shareholder of Rare (49%) and sold its stake to Microsoft.

Microsoft/Rare have already released Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie and Perfect Dark on XBLA. Why shouldn't Microsoft/Rare be allowed to release their other games on XBLA like Killer Instinct, Jet Force Gemini, Blast Corps. The only exception is GoldenEye007 because of the James Bond licensing issues.

The 360 has the Perfect Dark remake, which includes multiplayer maps from the original Goldeneye. Your friend made the right choice if his ultimate aim was to own a console with a game as close as possible to the original Goldeneye.

Yeah, I have a 360, too. It doesn't do much for me, though, because I'm liking retro more nowadays, and it's not reliable...

Single player footage and wowza.... now I am hyped. It may have been a bit cutscene heavy but the gameplay looks slick and there's fantastic atmosphere. The technical side of the graphics also look good as well, whilst it doesn't seem to have the highs of Metroid Prime or even The Conduit it looks very consistently good, which puts it above TCon.

I liked the Breaching part.

I'm not going to lie but this game looks better than Conduit 2 and Black-ops. This is going to be a hit!

Now that looks pretty good, at least the stealth part in the beginning. I'd guessed the single-player would be more interesting the an the multi-player, which doesn't look so hot so far.

I haven't seen too much of the multiplayer but from what I've seen it's fairly plain looking. I think I might go with Conduit 2 for multi and Goldeneye for single.... if I have enough money, that is!

Blood Stone is not based on any movie, upcoming or past.

Yer Blood Stone is it's own thing but it seems like it might be based on a script that would have been used to make a new movie if MGM weren't in financial trouble.

I think both games have been given much more generous schedules than QoS but they still have a deadline. Both seem to be coming along nicely though.

i'm also torn between the two. i really want 4 player split screen but i'm not getting both... if the quality of the past games is anything to go on, it's goldeneye--1, conduit--0. plus, look at how cool the pistol is (i don't think it's a ppk anymore)

It looks like it still is. Here is a real life version, without a silencer:

Those videos don't look bad, though Odd Job is worrisome. Not only is he still going to be hard to hit, but they gave him a hat throw that's a one-shot kill in place of grenades? And they call that balanced? I can see him being house rule banned here, if I get this at all.
