I'm PG, I'm 22 years old, a Boston-area gamer. I like video games. These are some of my favorites (and if you dislike them, you're wrong):

Zelda A Link to the Past
Zelda Majora's Mask
Team Fortress 2
Persona 3
Super Mario World
Super Mario Bros 3
Stepmania
Chrono Trigger

Check out my deviantART, I do videogame stuff from time to time. But mostly I'm working on getting a graphic novel published.

Goldeneye XBLA is dead, Nintendo makes 360 owners cry
Phoenix Gamma | 8:23 PM on 01.11.2008 16 comments


I always said Nintendo was some of the best trolls ever. Sakurai trolls me everyday with his cruddy updates, Nintendo blue balls me with their WiFi, and Reggie smoothtalks me until I forgive them.

Now, I don't own a 360, because I don't love shooters and Madden enough to buy an entire console of just that (I kid, I kid. But seriously, some variety would be nice. And no, one RPG isn't gonna cut it for me.) And no, I didn't like Goldeneye, but if I did like it, and did own a 360, I'd think this was the "best" troll ever.

Basically, Nintendo couldn't get a piece of the pie big enough for them to munch on, so the game got canceled 2 months before completion.

Let the rage build up for a minute. I'll wait.


Back? Super. Well, Nintendo sure did it again. I can understand them wanting money for a game they technically-kinda-sorta-maybe have some sort of rights over, but sometimes I wonder if they really ARE trying to be cunts.

BTW Brawl will be delayed until April 1st, when they'll announce that the game was a big April Fool's joke.

This makes me upset at Nintendo.

This is Nintendo's prerogative. If they didn't get enough money in return, then they have no sensible reason to allow Microsoft and Rare to put up an updated version of Goldeneye on XBLA. Yeah, it sucks for those that (incorrectly) think that Goldeneye is superior to the original Perfect Dark - and especially those pining for online multiplayer for the classic Goldeneye - but seriously it's up to Nintendo, and why should they help out their competitor?

It's like, good business sense to not give things away to your competitors or something. Maybe this will trickle down to the entire consuming society, but most of them are retarded and therefore it'll never happen.

Would have been cool, but all will be forgiven when they give me Perfect Dark. DO IT NOW!

LAWL, if that were true, it would be hilarious just becuase of the outraged fanboy videos that pop-up on Youtube.

This is exactly why I keep all of my old gaming systems. That way I can play all of my favorite classics any time. I don't see why more people do this instead of buying the same game again online.

Although with new features I can see why it would be cool (i.e. like mentioned above online play for GoldenEye).

@Variable: yea, it does make sense, but the fact that they couldn't reach a compromise really stinks.

@electro: yea rly. Except you didn't link to the full explanation that 1up gave.

It sucks really, But I never expected anything to come of the rumor. Just give me Perfect Dark and I'll be happier with that then I ever would have beem with Goldeneye.

GoldenEye is a sort of mediocre FPS by today's standards. Do you really miss it that much? For nostalgia reasons at least, I know I do.

This fucking rumor or whatever this can be considered has to be put to rest once and for all.

Now they dont state why Microsoft would even have to deal with Nintendo, but i believe that since Rare isn't making upgrades to the game it means that this is just gonna run on emulation. Which you can't put a n64 emulator on anything without paying monies to Nintendo.
