Issues with nintendo wasn't there?
If it is being remade then nintendo and msoft will need to make a deal unless a completely different company remakes it.

I thought microsoft bought Rare out? thats why there will won't be a new donkey kong game for a while (or something like that) because nintendo owns the copyright for donkey kong and RARE holds something else.


some weird thing like that (it might be a different game though:S?)

Basically Nintendo owns the rights to the original I believe because they used to own Rare, there was a deal with Nintendo to allow Goldeneye to be on Xbox Live but Iwata pulled the plug on it at the last moment. HOWEVER now its being remade for the Wii and DS by the same people who made Nightfire which obviously isn't Rare.

Bascially, Rare created GoldenEye 007 for Nintendo when they were a third party, but have since been bought out by Microsoft. Nintendo couldn't put the game on VC since a competitor (Microsoft) now owned the developers of the game (Rare). The two went into discussions and tried to settle a deal, but at the end of the day the two couldn't agree on anything. Now it appears Nintendo have opted for the second choice and are remaking the game.

It's brilliant news if Eurocom are at the helm, because I personally think Nightfire is one of the best multiplayer games ever made. They could do great things with GoldenEye, since that too was originally praised for its multiplayer aspects. They should keep it as close to the original as possible while obviously updating the graphics and adding online capabilities and the use of bots in multiplayer. Wa-la! The GoldenEye we've all wanted. However, I don't think it will be the same with the Wii Remote. I've always been against using it in shooting games. Please allow us to use the Classic or Gamecube controllers!

Online multiplayer + November 2010 release. Lots of nods to the original game and you will also be able to use the Classic Controller is you so desire.

Remakes make me wonder tbh as they never feel the same.
