Nintendo holding up GoldenEye on Xbox LIVE Arcade. - 10-06-08

You may have heard the original rumours, but it seems that one of the most historic first-person shooters to ever grace the Nintendo 64 has indeed been remade for the Xbox LIVE Arcade. However porting this game to the Xbox 360 required the input of four key game companies; Rare, Microsoft,...

For starters, widescreen support, better framerate, higher polygon count, cleaner textures, just to name a few. Basically, the game equivalent of being digitally remastered.

Hopefully it will come out on/for Virtual Console soon. It's a great game that I would really enjoy playing again.

Nice article, Budge. =)

Re: Nintendo holding up GoldenEye on Xbox LIVE Arcade.

Dammit, I really wanna play this game again. Thanks a lot Nintendo. I'd much rather have this game on XBLA with improved graphics and online. Nintendo's been ••••ing me off lately. *Stomps on hat*

Re: Nintendo holding up GoldenEye on Xbox LIVE Arcade.

I can see Nintendo's point. Goldeneye was one of the best games for the N64 and I for one would rather see it on Wii, either as a VC or WiiWare remake to download, than on another system, and as for on-line gaming goes that would be awesome, "License to Kill - Pistols" anyone?

Re: Nintendo holding up GoldenEye on Xbox LIVE Arcade.

I think it serves Nintendo right. No matter how you look at it, Nintendo really did screw up by selling Rare to Microsoft. Unfortunately, most of the good titles for Nintendo 64 came from Rareware. GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark, Donkey Kong 64, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Diddy Kong Racing to name a few were gems to play. Take them away, and all I can think of are Mario games as well as Smash Bros. It's no mistake that Nintendo really dropped the ball during the Gamecube generation.

I bet they are really regretting it.
