- totorototoro, on 01/14/2008, -7/+84"Forgot" the ***** question mark at the end that the actual article has, since its all rumor and speculation. Then you even "summarize" the article incorrectly, adding your own ***** spin. Lame.
- modsuperstar, on 01/14/2008, -2/+48The biggest problem is this is just a licensing quagmire. Nintendo owns the rights to it, Microsoft owns the maker of the game and Sony owns MGM, which licensed the series to Activision. The best case scenario is essentially to set aside their differences and everyone get a cut from the game by making it a multiplatform downloadable. I think the problem Nintendo has with this is that essentially they haven't launched their WiiWare service, and since they pretty much have final say as to whether it happens or not they decided to put the brakes on the whole thing. I think the only way this will fly is if Nintendo gets a cut of every copy of this game made, whether it's on the 360 or PS3.
- postalblowfish7, on 01/14/2008, -28/+65good. if you want to play ***** goldeneye then get a ***** N64. burry me micronubs, but rare oozed quality under nintendo's wing, and puked a lot of ***** ever since perfect dark zero.
- afeitarse, on 01/14/2008, -1/+29Goldeneye is an 'old' James Bond movie? Man, I feel ancient.
- nunofgs, on 01/14/2008, -16/+43Totally unsubstantiated, although I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case.
- YellowSnowDemon, on 01/14/2008, -4/+29You're a douchebag, but I agree with you.
- seanthebond, on 01/14/2008, -2/+21"This despite a proposed deal from Microsoft that would have seen not only GoldenEye released on the Virtual Console, but other, unspecified Rare games"
I am pissed.. I want my ***** Banjo-Tooie! - Smwbigboss, on 01/14/2008, -1/+19Goldeneye is based on an old James Bond movie made by MGM, which Sony now owns. Read the second line of the paragraph.
- sofaKing812, on 01/14/2008, -1/+19Perhaps the most important sentence from the article *looks at most of the comments above*:
"Before you set your tasers to "hate", though, remember, this is coming from one side of a two-sided story." - jon02129, on 01/14/2008, -7/+24Dude, did you completely miss Sonic being on the Wii? Sega hasn't been a competitor in years.
- cambob76, on 01/14/2008, -5/+22The submitter is being misleading. Don't Digg this submission. There is nothing to the article but hearsay and the submitter made it look like fact. Stupid retard.
- MaynardJK, on 01/14/2008, -4/+18"like Nintendo needs more money anyway."
Yeah Nintendo. I want my games NOW and I want them for FREE. You've made enough money!!! - Akaji, on 01/14/2008, -2/+15Nintendo doesn't have the complete rights to the game (it was developed by Rare, which is now owned by Microsoft). It would require an agreement between the two for the game to show up on either system.
- inactive, on 01/14/2008, -4/+17Funny how Microsoft go ahead and make a game they shouldn't have without consulting Nintendo, and then somehow a story leaks out about the game being canned, then suddenly Nintendo look like the bad guys in this whole debacle... As I have said in pervious Digg stories, you are all being used by Microsoft to be their "voice".
- BruteForce411, on 01/14/2008, -4/+16I'd rather see this updated and released on the Wii anyway.
- mattcoady, on 01/14/2008, -1/+13Because Microsoft owns Rare, they're one half of the equation. Either both get it or no one gets it.
- petebot, on 01/14/2008, -1/+13GOB Bluth: "COME ON!"
- mywhitenoise, on 01/14/2008, -2/+14No it doesn't, read the article. If Nintendo let XBLA have the remade one, they would be allowed to put the original up on VC.
- YellowSnowDemon, on 01/14/2008, -4/+16's what MS gets for not allowing Halo DS.
- mwalker05, on 01/14/2008, -6/+18if the screenshot was any indication, ill stick with my N64. even if it were true can you really blame nintendo? turn the tables and think about how microsoft would react to putting Halo 1 on the virtual console.
- Fuze07, on 01/14/2008, -2/+13Idiot. Goldeneye > Halo 1
Ah hell, Goldeneye > All Halos for that matter - sirbeta, on 01/14/2008, -4/+15I think you're the retard. He pointed out Sega because Sega isn't competition now. Microsoft is very much competition for Nintendo at the moment. Why would they give current competition access to the game?
- enforcerpsu, on 01/14/2008, -2/+13Well. I find it hard to just blame ONE party. Wouldn't they *both* be at fault if they can't come to agreement?
- lucidguru, on 01/14/2008, -2/+12What is so difficult about working together so that both companies and consumers win? Why do the game companies have to be so short sided and cutthroat with each other?
- giddieon, on 01/14/2008, -17/+27Do you blame Niny for doing this I mean come on MS would just ***** it up...
Leave the memories of the game that ,,, one of the best... little ***** haloz fans would not understand.... - postalblowfish7, on 01/14/2008, -5/+15yeah, online petitions really get things done!
/lolwut - cesclaveria, on 01/14/2008, -1/+10the fact that it wasn't really that much of a third party, it was more a second party, Rare made it, but Nintendo paid for it.
- colincornaby, on 01/14/2008, -6/+15Even if Nintendo is preventing Microsoft from releasing Goldeneye, I'm not sure I can blame them. They're a pretty cool company, and as far as I'm concerned, they have some spare karma to burn.
- EnderMB, on 01/14/2008, -3/+12Are you crazy? There's a lot more demand for Goldeneye than Halo 1.
- admiral101, on 01/14/2008, -2/+9You should play Metroid. It is what shooters can be.
- EnderMB, on 01/14/2008, -5/+12Why should Nintendo be bad-mouthed for this? It's their game and they have just as much right to it as Rare does. Microsoft should've known what they were getting into when they first bought Rare. Nintendo aren't going to give up Goldeneye that quickly. It's probably still the best shooter around. Besides, this story is rumour at best and should be buried as inaccurate anyway.
- mattcoady, on 01/14/2008, -0/+7Welcome to 2002
- Radan, on 01/14/2008, -5/+12Since when does the N64 have online multiplayer? I'm asking because that is pretty much the greatest reason for people wanting Goldeneye on Xbox360/PS3/Whatever, so if you got one at home, I would be glad to know where you got it, because I checked imaginary store, and they were sold out.
- Memnochxx, on 01/14/2008, -0/+6Microsoft doesn't own the company which made Mario 64. Your analogy failed.
- KaiUno, on 01/14/2008, -7/+13Thou... needest to get thine spelling checked.
- Xelseragoth, on 01/14/2008, -2/+8I guess you don't know this, but Goldeneye sold just as much as Halo 2, and more than Halo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_selling_games
- razor150, on 01/15/2008, -0/+6Actually Rare self-published Perfect Dark, Nintendo doesn't have any rights at all to that game.
- dinostabOMG, on 01/14/2008, -3/+9Competition. Blame Sony and MS for turning games into a Hollywood-style business.
- popstop785, on 01/14/2008, -2/+7"its all hype until it ships"
Best quote ever. - mclumber1, on 01/14/2008, -2/+7I guess you haven't played Medal of Honor: Heroes 2. The controls are superb. They are even better than the controls on Metroid.
- adml_shake, on 01/14/2008, -0/+5you wave enough $$ in microsoft's direction and they would be open to it.
- bagboyrebel, on 01/15/2008, -0/+5and halo is...?
- seanthebond, on 01/14/2008, -1/+6Damn..
- artemus, on 01/14/2008, -0/+5"It would require an agreement between the two for the game to show up on either system".
You're forgetting one thing. MGM owns the rights to the movies, and Activision has the rights for the video game. If there was to be a deal, it would have to include these other two parties as well. - WolfDV, on 01/14/2008, -0/+5Why can't MS release Perfect Dark on XBLA? (with high-res textures, online play, antialiasing, etc)
I would settle for this if they can't agree to release Goldeneye - jonshipman, on 01/14/2008, -0/+5Bungie is free now.
- giddieon, on 01/14/2008, -6/+11I have a 360 so why you talking out your ass... I did not say MS ***** everything up and I did not say they have not made anything good...
So don't put words into my mouth thank you very much....
I just think they would ***** it up since they have a more then well track recored of messing things up...
RRoD
Thompson Drives
LIVE it self
Vista
Windows ME
Zune
Games For Windows
So it is not unfounded or a stretch of the imagination that they would not ***** it up - jonshipman, on 01/14/2008, -2/+7ummm, the Wii can support 4 controllers and the N64 never had online play. I think it would be just as enjoyable as it once was on the Wii.
- Cdog923, on 01/15/2008, -1/+5Apparently not as ***** retarded as you.
- LocalDocal, on 01/15/2008, -2/+6Thank you, Marty. Would you like to drive back to 2008 now?
