Rare says Goldeneye "possible" on VC (and XBLA?!) |
Listed in: Wii, Xbox 360 Tags: Donkey Kong, N64, Nintendo, Rare Ltd., Xbox Live Arcade
Ó
A Goldeneye-less Virtual Console isn't looking good for dreamers out there. Among the best of the N64 games, Ocarina, Mario Kart, and Mario 64 have already been released, so why can't they take Goldeneye 007 over to the VC as well? Or if it's not on the VC... maybe somewhere else? Some have been constantly hoping, and the way it seems, seeing Bond and his spy-buddies online would be quite a "rare" sight.As CVG reports, someone on the Q&A threads at Rare was able to squeeze out some info on bringing more of their titles online. What surprised us was a well-placed hint of something that could also come out on Xbox Live:
The only Rare-developed title on Virtual Console right now is the original Donkey Kong Country, and unofficially there's a strong likelihood that its sequels will follow... But the Donkey Kong series of games is a Nintendo-owned franchise... whereas something like Banjo isn't... so it's nowhere near as easy to call... Especially when you also consider the existence of Xbox Live Arcade. So right now, the best answer we can offer (for either download service) is 'it's possible'.
Speaking more specifically about Goldeneye 007 though, a representative of Rare did indicated that the game is "caught up in a convoluted web of rights" and that this "doesn't mean it won't happen, just that a lot of people with a lot of different perspectives are involved."
Looks like someone stamped a big, red CONFIDENTIAL mark on this whole issue and doesn't want to reveal the rest of the document. Just what is cooking in the Rare labs? The whole VC thing was a long-running rumor, but now an XBLA title?

Rare could have said go ahead and take the donkey kong info, but sorry we are taking all the level design and game code....have fun.
So obviously there is some sort of realationship already with MS....i'd rather see it on VC then on XBLA, and it's most likely only going to go on VC as it would have to be "ported" to XBLA as there is no N64 emu for XBLA....

Allow nintnedo to have Golden Eye, Banjo, Diddykong Racing, Perfect dark on its virtual console - and any profits from those games goes directly to nintendo.
AND, allow these games to be released for XBLA, where all the profits recieved on the xbox selling of these titles, goes directly to microsoft or rare - A win - win solution.
Or they can just do royalties, and just release it on VC

would be pretty funny if they settled everything and priced the game at 20 bucks just to cover the royalties resulting in nobody downloading the game

Hey you could buy flow on your system, mind you I suppose you are a bit put off by the framerate slowdowns that sometimes occur.

there's so many FPS games out in today's market, i don't see the lure of this ancient game anymore.
the 3d gamesa from the 32/64bit era look horrible and make you feel like your running around in boxed rooms.
they could have changed the graphics to that of perfect dark but the whol game is based off the movie from levels to level design.

First off, the 64 was awesome. Sure it may not have had as many games as ps1 but it had a lot of great games. How can you say the wii has no games? The ps3 doesn't even come close to having good games as the wii. On a TV show I saw, awhile ago, the ps3 had one 5 star game, and the rest were 3 or lower, mostly 2s. Wii had a score of 3 and higher, mostly 4s and one 5.
The ps3 won't win becase they have focused so much on advanced technology that is too expensive that the majority of people in the market are not willing to buy yet. They are I'd say around 3 years ahead of their time.
