It's the same reason why even today Microsoft cannot release GoldenEye on the XBox even though they could come to an agreement with Activision (or whoever owns the Bond license now) and have ownership of Rareware.

Nintendo would have to allow it since they financed the original game.

Microsoft did actually start work on HD version of GoldenEye for XBL, but Nintendo shot it down when MS went to them and tried to work out a deal.

But MS can release Perfect Dark and Banjo-Kazooie because Nintendo sold the rights to those IP as part of the Rare deal. But any Rare game that used characters not specifically designed by Rare, and thus were licensed by Nintendo, such as say Mickey's Speedway (Nintendo paid for the Disney license) or GoldenEye (Nintendo paid for the Bond license) is a no-go, unless Nintendo allows it.

now your just mixing things up, your talking about owning an ip, which is totally different then money hatting or financing a third party company. to me money hatting financing is the samething, the only problem we here is this has never been done before so we can't do a comparison.
