Goldeneye coming to xbox live arcade.

[SamUK]

its already been posted but yea there is another game coming cos i think they plan to release this around the same time.


id still like an official word on it but the good thing is, rumours this big, if false, have normally been squashed by now by major nelson or another MS employee with a blog.

Wont Nintendo have a say in this? I know Rare created it but Nintendo have a way of keeping licences to their consoles.

[SamUK]

they can try.

activision own the rights to the games, mgm the films and MS own rare who own goldeneye.

[nakamura]

But havent Rare broken away from MS like Bungee?

[SamUK]

no there still with MS. i think they will want more than 2 games out of them before they let them go.


Bungie are still working exclusively for the 360 too.

Sources within Microsoft who were very close to the project (and who also pointed us towards the above, alleged screen) have told us the game was canned not because of disagreements between the two parties, but because of Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata, who believes that, as a title which appeared on a Nintendo console, GoldenEye shouldn't be made available on a competitor's system.

To qoute myself.

intendo boss Satoru Iwata, who believes that, as a title which appeared on a Nintendo console,

he can "believe" whatever he wants lol. doesnt mean it would stop them doing it and like i sad, he doesnt have any rights to it.

its just a bit weird that thats the only site reporting it was canned and yeat official sites like teamxbox have said nothing.
