Because someone else owns the Bond license, and that alone makes it more difficult to bring to VC.
Also, Rare are now owned by Microsoft, so Goldeneye is more likely to come out on Live Arcade than VC. In fact, an Arcade version of Goldeneye was developed by Rare-but MS and Nintendo couldn't agree on royalties. There's more to it than that but I can't really remember it all. Maybe someone could look it up?
It isn't as simple as first party releases or non-licensed 3rd party releases for VC, just remember that.
