That's what I'm sayin bro!  I hereby request that our new Sony, Microsoft AND Nintendo leader keeps bringing teh epic lulz to VGChartz!

It's an issue of getting the rights sorted, so i doubt that we will see it on the virtual console.

And sorry, you nominated and outed yourself in the one post. You CANNOT be the Nintendo leader if you haven't played Goldeneye as i assume that means you didn't even have a Nintendo 64. There is a very long line of people on this website more devoted and more qualified than you for the position of Nintendo leader.

Fortunately Cougarman, Amp316, Soriku, Rolstoppable and Pichu_Pichu have all given me their blessing for Nintendo Leader

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.

Megaman.2. is officially the 7th Generation of Consoles Leader.

Weak minded fools :P

It goes a bit like this, MS owns RARE now that developed the game, Nintendo holds the rights to Golden Eye on the 64 and the code to the game, activision owns the rights to the Bond name which those guys are cool if they use the bond name and even prior to that, EA was cool with it when they owned the rights, RARE made an updated HD version of Golden Eye, looked slick too, but somewhere in this mess Nintendo wanted it for the VC and MS wanted it for the XBLA and both couldn't settle things, the best trade off would be equal royalties to both since they both own one part of what made Golden Eye happen and then bring the game to both game services.

Lol at one of the top 4 Wii haters on the site being the Nintendo leader.

If I recall correctly, Rare wanted to release an updated version and the classic version on XBLA and only the classic version on the Wii-VC.

All three parties had to sign off on this -- and Nintendo said NO. It did not want its console to look poor by comparison.

So while the OP is in no way a Nintendo Leader. He is sort of right that Nintendo has elected not to have this release on the VC. But it is much more of a wise business decision than anything else.

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
