    This probably doesn't belong here, so move it if you must....

    But I thought it would reach a wider audience here...

    Sign the petition to bring Goldeneye 007 to Xbox Live Arcade....
    was going to happen and then Nintendo blocked it...

    http://www.petitiononline.com/rare007/petition.html

    The petition has about 17000 signatures atm which impressed me...

    Ah, but Goldeneye to XBLA was something that was confirmed to be happening by all parties....but then Nintendo pulled the plug due to a disagreement with Microsoft over monetary issues...

    Well, since Nintendo owned the original game, but Rare developed it and is now with Microsoft, its kinda hard to choose sides. But I gotta replay this. And with LIVE? Who could resist!

    Nintendo still own the rights to it, even though Rare now work with microsoft.

    i don't blame nintendo for this, microsoft would do the same thing if bungie decides to release marathon or the likes to other companies in a similar situation.

    There is a disagreement on whether Nintendo would get a once off fee
    ...or royalties on every download of Goldeneye....
    I think Nintendo are being stubborn...They're not going to remake Goldeneye without Rare....
    so why not take the fee and put it to use elsewhere....?

    Needs moar 'put it on both the vc and the xbox live arcade' in this topic.
     
  11. nintendo will keep goldeneye 007 for their platforms only, and hopefully, if a ff7 remake does happen, it will be for ps3 only, like the tech demo for ff7 implies, although the chances of a ff7 remake are slim and none so...

    what about microsoft who let go of bungie, but said the halo is mine and mine only?! isn't that showing a form of stubbornness?!

    no, it is well within their rights as they are the copyright holders to the title.

    look at the publisher and developer on the right side of the screen. now compare it to this,
    http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/821/821911p1.html

    isn't it just the same?! hmmm.

    Nintendo are the copyright holders of goldeneye, microsoft are the copyright holders of halo.

    There's a big difference between Halo and Goldeneye....
    Any future Halo games will be big moneyspinners....
    Is Goldeneye on XBLA going to make that kind of cash ?
