GoldenEYE

on n64 is it out on xbox yet?

Have you been living under a Dreamcast?

Nintendo and Activision hold the rights, so instead of doing the nice thing and bringing it out to XBL/PSN, they're doing a remake on the Wii.

No, it will never be released on Xbox.

Rather than Nintendo manning up it will be re-released on a console that fails at first person shooters, great.

The above comment does not include Red Steel, I'm sure that's good, but Goldeneye will not be, fast paced multiplayer FPS and Wii do not mix.

Nintendo shouldn't have to give it to a rival console should they? It will damage their sales no?

No.. It really wouldn't, to be honest only the TRUE Goldeneye fanboys will buy a Wii purely for Goldeneye and even a good percentage of them will refuse to play an FPS with a Wiimote.

I've played Red Steel and I didn't think it was too great. I can't see FPS games working on the Wii at all, but I know people who enjoy them so whatever floats your boat

You will be able to use the classic controller or gamecube controller for GoldenEye on Wii if you so desire. You are not forced to use the Wiimote.

So you think giving a highly regarded game to a rival console wouldn't harm sales? I'm sure it would :).

Depends, if enough sell on the 360 some money would come back to Nintendo seeing as they would get a percentage for owning the rights to the game. It all depends on how many units are sold both in comparison to just the Wii.

Anyway, you can use the classic controller so it's all good. The Wii can be fast paced? Seeing as GoldenEye was on the N64 which was pretty relaxed...
