Will we see classics like Ms Pac Man and other 3rd party software?

Will we see games made by Rare like Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooe, Conkers bad fur day, etc?  Does rare own the license to those games?

Not sure if we'll be seeing games like Ms Pac Man. I think Tengen developed a copy, but they circumvented Nintendo's license and protections schemes and released it. We probably won't be seeing games like Conker, Banjor or anything like that on the VC either because Rare and MS own those rights. For example, neither Conker or Banjo are present in the DS version of DKR.

You might not see anything from Rare, though MS might not care since they are old games. Maybe MS will allow it, it could help build hype for sequels.

Ms Pac Man is on Xbox Live and I know Rare's making a new Banjo Kazooie game for 360. I believe Rare owns the rights to Goldeneye, but MS owns Rare -- and someone else owns the James Bond rights so we'll likely never see a rerelease of that game.

Activision owns the Rights to James Bond, therefore Nintendo will have to get the "A-OK" from them, not RARE

The closest we'll ever get to it is Goldeneye Source (a HL2 mod) for the PC. :(
