Goldeneye on VC is "possible" by Chris Leigh

Wii News: Rare continues to tease us. Grr.

And that also notes the possibility that it could come to XBLA, right? If that was the case, would it be under the size limit?

Awesome...seriously.

i hope that it comes out on the VC as it is (imo) the most enjoyable FPS that i have ever played. and since i lost the game (stolen?) it will be any instant purchase for me!

I'd personally like to see the game on XBLA, not the VC. That way we can at least hope to expect some additions to the original game, like online multiplayer or enhanced visuals.

If it was to be re-relased i think we would see it on XBL. M$ own the rights to this game now, and i don't see them giving it to nintendo.

But personally i don't care. I Played it about a year ago and the controlling is horrible. Nowdays it is nothing like it used to be.

The original calssic state would be on th actual n64 with an n64, not a virtual; controller. Playing it on wii would not add to the originality at all (you need a cartrige for that)

And image this on VC, there would be so many problems, all you have to do is look at mario kart, zelda occ ect.

If it comes out on both, very cool. From a business sense as Rare is owned by M$ it seems most likley that it will appeaer on XBLA, but from a pure logic perspective it should be on VC as it was a N64 title.

If Nintendo and M$ work out some sort of deal to deliver Rare/Nintendo content on both, that would be the only way everyone (including the consumer) wins

This would be awesome news if it were to come out on VC and LIVE arcade. Having this playable (or PD) online would be unreal.

I've been burnt from the OoT port to the VC, so I think I'm sticking well clear of the N64 games.

Nintendo co-owns the rights to the Goldeneye code. The license was bought by Nintendo, not Rare. Nintendo basically hired Rare as a then second party to make the game for them.

Nintendo also has a lot of clever patents that allow them to own they way their systems worked - this is why we've seen very few NES/SNES/N64 games in any of the retro collections released by third parties on PS2. Capcom had to re-program their Megaman games for the Megaman collections rather then emulate, because Nintendo owned the rights to the way the NES worked. The NES patents have expired now, but the SNES and N64 ones have years left to run.

Still, I can basically play Goldeneye on my Wii right now anyway. It's called Timesplitters 2.

Oh dear. I opened this thread expecting alot of "who cares" but found out that people want to play this game.

I remember when me and my brother first played it. The sniper rifle on the first level set my heart on fire.

I booted it up on the N64 (shame on you people who don't take care of your old consoles and games) a couple of months ago and nearly vomitted. Yeah, it hasn't age too well. The nostalgia was nice and the fact that its a classic means it should be distributed digitally but I'll be damned if I'll play it again.

Mario kart on vc is horrible. When you run over banana peals you doon't spin. There are quite a few problems with it.

Now i have not played zelda OCT on VC, but have read that there a quite a few problems with it.

Bland corridors with blurry N64 graphics and quite the liklihood no online multiplayer aspects.

Doesn't really create a great impression.

You know sometimes I think people should leave things in the past. Why ruin your past experiences. The world has moved on and there are some fantastic mulitplayer games on the market you don't need retro to have fun.

I've played Goldeneye in recent years and it still is playable for me.

"don't need retro to have fun"... you must have abandoned all the great games of the past and just focusing on the future. You hate games.

I totally agree with you.

Snes for example had unreal 2D, where as N64 has full 3D but massive lag.

I know what you mean. Some games are just unplayable years on, but there are games that are timeless aswell. But I wouldn't say the N64 feels like sh!t.

Nothing wrong with Goldeneye's graphics, it's the controls. Map it to dual analogue (digital now) sticks on the 360's controller, up the multiplayer limit and give it online and it'd rule.

Give Goldeneye a decent framerate and Dual Analogue/Key-Mouse and it holds up fine. Add online multiplayer and it'll become fairly popular. Still, it's dated compared to the newer FPS's, so perhaps the VC is the way to go.
