I think people are replying here because there are so much people who can't see why nintendo won't let xbox have this game. That is why I'm replying...

This looks so obvious, first it will be dumb to let your competition release an enhanced version of a game that you own, it will be stupid to give xbox anything.

Goldeneye sold very well on a Nintendo console and they got the profits from it, why give any profit at all to the competition.. Also the competition just creates an enhanced game that you have rights to without saying a word to you and then in the end ask if they can release it after the fact they already went behind your back and made all these changes. I'll say !@!@ you too

Yup.

And that goes back to my previous post, that an even bigger casualty of this whole mess is that Rare's extensive back-catalogue of games may never get to see the light of day (well, not anytime soon it looks like) because of all kinds of licensing issues and Microsoft now owning Rare.

Take a gander at all the amazing games this generations is missing out on playing...

Wow it looks that it's easy to blame people, let me try.. well i blame MS becase they bought RARE.. see? it's easy..

 Rare can release the majority of those. Any Battletoads game, Blast Corps, Perfect Dark. Who cares about Goldeneye when Perfect Dark was everything Goldeneye was but better alot better. Give us that Rare.

That article is full of horse shit, as others said here which i agree, this is not about nintendos ego or being greedy, but because its buisness. why would they let their competitor get it too? MS doesnt own shit of the game but rare overall

Aside from this does nintendo have any say to the banjo series i mean since the xbox is getting it im pretty sure everything that says nintnendo on it will be replaced with MS name. Did nintendo and ms ever agree to this? these two franchises are pretty much in the same situation (as with all rare owned IPs), both rare owned games owned my MS and Nintendo..

I blame WiiFit.

Now that I think about it, maybe Nintendo should have tried to get Rare developed catalog titles published to the virtual console soon after the Wii launched. Back then both Microsoft and Nintendo stated outright that the two consoles were not in direct competition. Microsoft seems to be changing their story as the Wii gobbles up marketshare though.

This is Nintendo's game and always will be. ;)

 Aren't those of Activision?

Yes, I looked it up and you're correct. In 2006, Activision secured the licence to make Bond-related games. I didn't realize that separate companies distributed Bond movies and Bond-related games.

It's surprising that Sony hasn't made a move to secure exclusive rights to Bond-related games seeing as they own rights to the movies.
