Why would they let it be released?

Seems like Nitnendo was getting the Raw end of the stick on that. "Hey can we release the game you hold rights too for free on Xbox live but souped up! We'll let you release the old regular version for free too!"

It's a chumps deal.

You can blame Nintendo but they wouldn't of won by this.  Not for a longshot.  You'd need to throw more in the pot then the old N64 version.

Microsoft told them they can't change the version at all, but Microsoft can?

 

Microsoft would agree to let Nintendo launch the game on Wii’s Virtual Console if Nintendo agreed to let Microsoft launch it on Xbox Live Arcade.

Granted this was before Wii Wares announcement but it would seem to indicate this yes.

 

 

 Hmm....I can't find Microsoft telling them they cant release an updated version...according to the article, Nintendo is the reason they are not releasing it.  I doubt Nintendo would put out the effort for an updated version anyway, so I don't see the problem being that.
