Bond was a license owned by Nintendo and not a Rare IP. That is how Nintendo could quash that apparently. Of course, why Rare doesn't substitute the graphics and make a Perfect Dark game out of it is beyond me.

So you're saying Activision doesn't have a say in this even though they own the Bond license? I thought Nintendo lost the license to EA and EA then lost it to Activision, making it Activision's decision to allow GoldenEye. Am I wrong?

 

 

That's true but Nintendo supposedly stopped/threatened Activision so they're not allowing it. It's a wonder you didn't see all the articles about it. Nintendo of America was cool with it but Nintendo of Japan wasn't. Perfect Dark was better than Goldeye anyway so I don't see why they just don't port that. I still have the original and play it from time to time. Laptop Gun FTW!!!

I read through these forums, so I come across a lot of misinformation. Just in this topic alone, and others just like it, people seem to think Nintendo has a say in the Banjo-Kazooie IP, which it seems they don't. That's pretty lousy of Nintendo to hold this back from coming out. Perfect Dark is a good substitute if they get the online up and running, otherwise i'll stick with the N64.
