david.dakota Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Goldeneye would require a formal agreement between Nintendo (who probably own the code), EON Pictures (who own the Bond rights) and Activision (who now own the rights to make Bond games). I can't see that its too difficult. I don't think Rare or MIcrosoft would actually feature in this agreement.

I can't see that its too difficult. I don't think Rare or MIcrosoft would actually feature in this agreement. Surely the original stuff (Like Dr Doak, weapon names, Rare's logo etc), would need permission from Rare? (but probably not Microsoft)..but then, DKC is on the VC, but we have no idea if Nintendo asked Rare about it. Well, at least Nintendo are looking into what they can do with it.
flameboy Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 but then, DKC is on the VC, but we have no idea if Nintendo asked Rare about it. . slightly different because Nintendo published the game aswell as own the donkey kong franchise, with bond its more complicated as they never owned the Bond rights, they don't own the code for the game either and it is further complicated by a new publisher owning the rights.
darksnowman Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 The Virtual Consoles quite a fun feature, having so many games a few clicks away is most tempting. I might delve back into it...:p

breachloader Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Anyone know what games we're getting in Europe this Friday? I have my fingers crossed for Streets of Rage, since America got it this week.
Hero-of-Time Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Hopefully it will be Link to the Past.
darksnowman Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Not so tempting for one who has to spend 15-30 minutes getting it connected via the WiFi Connector first. Sorry to hear that... I wouldnt worry though, cos er... there arent that many games on it that are worth you going to the trouble. Yeah.
ShadowV7 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Yea,I wonder when birdie will appear before us,havn't seen him in a while
antster1983 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I know, thats the thing, the ESRB rating is for Zombies Ate My Neighbours, so I'm guessing it's for the American version of the game, which could in some far fetched way mean that other American games could come out here... Bah, I'm just getting my hopes up. EDIT: Wait a second...ESRB isn't the European ratings board! I'm just being stupid... WOW! Zombies is coming! I loved that game!
Myke Greywolf Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Anyone know what games we're getting in Europe this Friday? I have my fingers crossed for Streets of Rage, since America got it this week. The ROMs in the server are: - Kid Icarus (NES) - Chew Man Fu (Turbografx) - Unidentified N64 game (your guess is as good as mine) I couldn't identify the N64 game because no region has screenshots up for it yet. Europe will be the first region to get the third N64 VC game, but I haven't got a clue as for which one it is. Ocarina of Time, maybe?

Im very interested in the new N64 game, wonder what it could be.

As i recall Nintendo licensed the rights to the film and passed development duties to Rare. Rare becomes subcontracted to code the game and therefore when they hand the work over to Nintendo upon completion they also hand the code and rights to them also. Its like a building firm who are contracted to build a new block of flats, they might do the work, but don't own the buiding. At least i think that's be the case. Back to this weeks VC titles. Kid Icarus! The N64 game is bound to be Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Surely anything else would've been noted on US or Japanese VC release schedules.

Surely anything else would've been noted on US or Japanese VC release schedules. Well, NoE has said that we will be getting Ocarina of Time "soon" over a month ago, too. I'm hoping for something else, tho. (I can already play it with the GameCube controller on the Wii)
welsh_gamer Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 I would very much like for it to be Lylat Wars. Was Lylat wars released before Ocarina on the N64? If so, we might get it tonight then.
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 I would very much like for it to be Lylat Wars. Was Lylat wars released before Ocarina on the N64? If so, we might get it tonight then. Lylat Wars was one of the very first N64 games, if I remember rightly.
darksnowman Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 I think Lylat Wars was out the Christmas before Ocarina of Time. Im trying to remember, same Chrimbo as DKR and all? Jeepers, my memory just got hazy. It'd be a great addition to the Virtual Console, but I dont think I'd fork out for it.
Hero-of-Time Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 I would get Lylat Wars, I never did get all of them medals and unlock the extra stuff in multiplayer mode.
Acidyl Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 :awesome: I'm hoping for superman 64. hahahahaha ...... oh god no, now I've jinxed it. Crrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaappppppppppp.
LegoMan1031 Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 OK, thanks for the info. I'll have to hold out a bit longer for SoR, then... Ah it's good to see im not the only waiting who can't wait for SoR! I absolutly loved it on mega drive!
Mike Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 I never owned Lylat Wars, so I'd definitely get that. No way would I buy OoT, though, as I already have it twice on the GameCube.
breachloader Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Ah it's good to see im not the only waiting who can't wait for SoR! I absolutly loved it on mega drive! Streets of Rage 2 is the one I really want, of course. But SoR should keep me going until then.
