Bond-less Goldeneye 007 In The Works?
00 who?
MI6.co.uk, a James Bond fan site, reports that Rareware is supposedly trying to remake Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo Wii virtual console and Xbox Live Arcade, but with all of the James Bond elements removed, as to avoid any legal issues between Nintendo and Microsoft.
The rumor surfaced a while back about the classic Nintendo 64 game heading to Xbox Live Arcade, but as we reported in early January, Microsoft and Nintendo couldn’t come to an agreement regarding monetary issues, so Rare canned it.
Well now it seems the developer may be back at it, but with no Bond. I’m not sure how I feel about that, honestly. Part of me feels that it’s better than nothing, but at the same time, removing all of the 007 elements is going to rip the nostalgia right out of it, which is a very large part of the appeal. I’ll definitely be waiting to see how this turns out before committing to a purchase.
