Nintendo do not own the rights to Goldeneye or any other Bond game for that matter. Can't remember who has Bond rights right now but it sure as hell has nothing to do with Nintendo.
Additionally, just because Nintendo owned a 49% share in Rare that has bugger all to do with its ownership of any of their games where they do not explicitly relate to a character/franchise previously developed by Nintendo.
It's a bummer for sure but it's also proof of how limited the VC really is in terms of bringing in the goods. I suggest you stick to looking forward to all the good non-licensed games because they're all you're going to be getting this year - and probably next year too - with the odd exception being games of the Simpsons/TMNT related variety.
