Aussies and all others rejoice: Goldeneye 007 coming to VC?

IGN Wrote:
Australia, November 29, 2006 - One of the most appetising aspects of Nintendo's online strategy lies in their Virtual Console back-catalogue of classic games. However, the initial line-up had some glaring omissions - particularly from late-90s then-second-party developer Rare and their stellar GoldenEye.

However, according to an interview with US Nintendo PR honcho, Reggie Fils-Aime, this much-loved staple of Nintendo 64 gaming might just make a timely reappearance on the Virtual Console.

Thanks to an article by MTV's Stephen Totilo, Reggie was quoted as saying, "Would I love to see [GoldenEye] on virtual console? Absolutely. But there are a lot of issues there. Suffice it to say we would love to see it, so we're exploring all the rights issues."

Some of those issues are whoppers, too. Namely, Activision currently holds the rights to the James Bond license and Microsoft currently own Rare. In order to get ahold of the rights to GoldenEye once again, Nintendo would need to throw down some big dollars or come to some other workable arrangement, beneficial to all involved parties. We hope, for the sake of good gaming, they do.


Before I get into anything here, yes, it is old news, but it seems as though there is still hope. (Also, the big reason I put Aussie in the title is the fact that this was announced there.  Hopefully we'll finally be getting something around the same time).  Well, it seems as though the big N has taken things up a notch; if all the Rareware games are coming to VC, they'll certainly be making quite a bit of money... Is there such a thing as selling out in the virtual console?

I know you admit that this is old...... but dude, this is old......

This was like, months and months ago, in like Q1......

dot dot dot.......

I really think this was just Reggie siding with consumers, but naturally he'd love to see Grand Theft Auto IV on Virtual Console wouldn't he?
