[QUOTE="Mitazaki"]rare doesnt own the licence to the james bond games so they can not release goldeneye without having to no doubt pay activision to do so since they do own the licence to make bond games.

False
Rare still owns the rights to Goldeneye
The license wasn't transferred correctly when it left Rare. Rare owns all the rights to the game they made.
Nintendo can't do one single thing about that. They're helpless as a newborn baby when it comes to anything with Goldeneye.
Someone not doing the correct paperwork let Rare destroy any hope of Nintenod getting that game.
Link? LOL just kidding, I dont dont know the full story but even if rare still owns the rights to goldeneye they dont own the rights to the james bond licence which activision does. Think about it, say you want to release a game but I own the licence to the main character. Yeah I am just going to let that happen lol.
So for goldeneye to be on either VC or XBLA both rare and activision would need to come to some agreement. Neither nintendo or microsoft have much of a say in it but you always get the idiot that blames nintendo for goldeneye not going on xbla or vc.
As I said I dont know the full story and I doubt anyone does other than rare so its pretty much just an idea.
