@ mrgreen4242: "Yup. MS owns Rare and Rare owns the GoldenEye IP... so no 007. :("Still, it wouldn't quite make sense from a business point of view. Microsoft profited from having Rare develop games for the GBA after the acquisition from Nintendo, as they wouldn't hurt XBox sales anyway. Why they would actually say no to some extra free licensing profits by letting Nintendo sell them through the Virtual Console platform is beyond me.Plus, wouldn't the GoldenEye IP mostly belong to MGM or even EA?
I'll bet they're saving one last piece of info, simply so that they have the last news story at the end of E3. It would help them solidify their victory.

Errrmmmm, didn't they say on the E3 Presentation that they're shipping the new Zelda with EVERY Wii system?

The package should definitely have two controllers... only one goes against the fundamental philosophy of the system.

You probably shouldn't expect games to be on Blu-ray media for a little while. There are very few games that have exausted the current DVD medium.
