    Yes, yes, yes.  I am not a huge fan of FPS's but I would download this game in a heartbeat.  Online multilayer would be sick.

    And yet, Banjo is coming to XBLA without any of the many Nintendo references omitted.  Kind of strange.

    Maybe they came to an agreement for that franchise, but not Goldeneye which sucks cause I want both of them.

    As much as I'd like to see this game on XBLA, I hope Rare/Microsoft fixes some of the old-age aiming mechanics.

    Golden Eye for XBLA was finished and ready to roll... then Nintendo said hell no too letting Microsoft have it.  So the game was scrapped.  It's such a damn shame.  I'm pretty sure thats how it went down.. I could be wrong.. but I know somebody pulled the plug on it right at the end of development.

    that sums up the story really well.
    the only difference was that nintendo was willing but for a price microsoft wasnt willing to pay

    I can't believe they went as far as making that game WITHOUT permission from all the rights holders to release it.

    Well, Activision has the Bond rights now, Microsoft has Rare, and Nintendo has the original game... although I don't think that matters that much.

    About 800 different entities have to sign off on it until it can be approved... damn legal bullshit.

    Well its actually activision but, there are so many licensing issues. Nintendo, Microsoft, The film studio, Pierce brosnan, Other actors, Activision and probably more. It would be a logistical nightmare. And with so many people wanting a cut of the profits, it would end up costing a fortune.

    Damn you, legal issues.
    I'd like to see more N64 games for XBLA. Banjo-Kazooie is a great start, but I want Blast Corps, Perfect Dark, Turok, everything!

    That would be cool but Nintendo is messing a lot of this up.  I would much rather play it on XBLA than Wii.

    If they brought that to live it would be dope, the only change they would need to do and are allowed to do is add online game mode and it would be the greatest marketplace game ever.
