I was bored and made some fake box art, which can seen below, or click here for the full size version.
Goldeneye 007 on a this-gen console. Like that's ever going to happen, what with six companies involved in the rights to the game which would have to be sorted out first.
For those that care (both of you), here's the list of who has a slice of the Goldeneye pie:
1. Rare Ltd. - They developed the original game for Nintendo. Was a second-party developer for the big N. Currently Microsoft's bitch.
2. Nintendo - Original publisher of the game. Along with Rare, they hold the rights to certain intellectual properties such as level design.
3. United Artists and Danjag, LLC - They own 'James Bond', '007', 'Goldeneye', the bond theme etc. Basically, anything to do with Bond, they own, and they say what can be done with it.
4. Microsoft - Made the Xbox 360 and Windows. Bought Rare a few years ago, so they have final say on what Rare makes and for what platform, amongst other Rare-related activities.
5. Activision - Currently holds the 007 video game license e.g. only they can develop Bond games at the minute.
So yeah. Microsoft wants it on XBox Live Arcade, Nintendo wants it on the Virtual Console, UA and Danjag have to OK it, Rare can't do much, and Activision sorta has to do something. And everyone wants money. Confusing, no?
