The GoldenEye port has been in development at Rare for several months, and was never intended as a remake. The XBLA version would have featured the same graphics, maps and weapons from the N64 version, but with the crucial addition of online multiplayer over Xbox Live. Several characters wouldn't make the cut due to licensing issues with certain actors.

Unfortunately, the reason GoldenEye for XBLA died came down to money. Our source close to Rare said the conversion was a mere two months from completion, but Microsoft and Nintendo couldn't agree on the financial side of things. The point of contention, as our source puts it: would Nintendo receive a one-time fee for the rights to the game, or a continuing cut of the XBLA revenues? The latter seems to make sense for everyone, but apparently it wasn't that easy.

From what we're told, the best way to get this port back on track is to show Microsoft and Nintendo how badly you want it. If it all comes down to money, show 'em that you want to give yours. As soon as we hear anything more, we'll let you know.

Wow... I thought it was gonna be impossible, but we came damn close to getting Goldeneye on XBLA like I've been wishing for forevvver. It came down to money, hopefully they can get this **** worked out and release it, cuz I know it would sell like crazy. I'd buy it asap

Well, that sucks. I felt better when it was just a rumor.

I'd pay Will Smith to come to my house right now and use one of those neuralisers from MiB to erase that article from my memory. Ignorance is bliss.

Not being released at all for now. Hopefully these monetary quarrels are dealt with

You never know man, we might be seeing it one day

Would the game be fun to play online though or would it just be nostalgia taking over? I'm willing to pay to find out

I have fond memories of it, but I wonder how my friends and I managed to play 4 player split screen death matches together on a 21 Inch TV.

I bet online would be awesome.
