If Nintendo could regain it and start pumping out quality Bond games, I think it'd be win-win for Nintendo and EON. You're not going to be able to create a better character property than 007 IMO if you're Nintendo. He's 50+ years old with appeal across the board, is the definition of cool, and the movies are on an upswing in terms of popularity even from the Brosnan era. Plus GoldenEye came out very late in the Wii lifecycle by which time, most core players had abandoned the platform. If it had come out in 2007 or 2008, I think it would've sold double, maybe more. Developers/publishers were too slow to react to the Wii's initial success and missed the boat. Christmas 2008 in particular when the Wii was red hot and there was only Animal Crossing and Wii Music (lol), a game like GoldenEye could've cleaned up. |
True on both points. Shame a game like Goldeneye didn't come out in 2007 and gotten more people into playing with IR controls.
