Talking with very reliable sources, and seeing evidence ourselves, Xbox Evolved believes that Microsoft, Rareware, MGM Studios (studio that makes the James Bond 007 movies) and Activision (holds the license for James Bond 007 titles right now) have come to an agreement to bring the Rareware developed Goldeneye 007 out to Xbox Live Arcade shortly before the new game developed by Activision is released.
The title will feature updated graphics, and of course an all-new Xbox Live multiplayer. Not only that, but we have found evidence that Rareware is planning on releasing even more of their back catalog onto Xbox Live Arcade, specifically, Perfect Dark and the original Banjo-Kazooie. Expect more on at least Goldeneye 007 later this year.

are they going to update all the graphics on Perfect Dark and Banjo-Kazooie? That would be pretty awesome. Maybe I'll buy a 360 just to enjoy all the great Rareware games...
Not sure, but I would think that they would if this is true, which is possible sense Microsoft owns Rare and they claim they have approval of all the right companies to make it a reality.
OMGOMGOMG AWESOMESAUCE!!!!
Wasn't there a rumour floating around that Microsoft recently dropped Goldeneye and stopped developement?
So basically Rare are rehashing their old titles because they can't think of many good new ones? (Viva Pinata excluded, because its apparently good)
Hey man, I'm just excited about the prospect of a graphically updated Perfect Dark! Best FPS ever IMO.
any news on the cost of it?
and great news, its gonna be slightly awkward pleying it on a microsoft sytem, considering its a nintendo classic
In case you can't tell, its kind of a rumor right now. And its not a Nintendo classic, its a Rare classic.
And its not a Nintendo classic, its a Rare classic.
well technically.
"You may want to re-inforce your hearts before continuing. According to 1UP, an XBLA version of Rare's classic N64 shooter GoldenEye wasn't a rumour. It was real. It was a faithful port, with the same graphics, sound, etc. It would even have featured multiplayer over XBLA. However, only two months from completion, Microsoft and Nintendo couldn't agree on how they were going to split the proceeds, and the project was ****-canned. Game over. For those looking for a glimmer of hope, 1UP reckon the only way to salvage the project is to complain. Loudly."

too bad isnt it?
Nintendo screwed that one up for everyone.
Yeah, Nintendo had to interfere when they had nothing to do with making the game, except the console.
In case you can't tell, its kind of a rumor right now. And its not a Nintendo classic, its a Rare classic.
a rare classic that was only on a nintendo console.
so i guess
nint-rare classic
fair enough
If this happens, I will blow up.
I concur, stick to the dusty N64

A very interesting quote indeeed...
"Looking for someone to blame over the whole XBLA GoldenEye fiasco? Try Nintendo! 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. This despite a proposed deal from Microsoft that would have seen not only GoldenEye released on the Virtual Console, but other, unspecified Rare games (Jetpac? Sabre Wulf?) as well. How very upsetting. Before you set your tasers to "hate", though, remember, this is coming from one side of a two-sided story."
