Virtual Console GoldenEye stuck in ‘no man’s land,’ unlikely to be released

vc007

What’s taking so long for GoldenEye to be released on the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console?

Rare’s Nick Burton says the number of licensees involved will more than likely prevent the game from ever being available on Virtual Console, saying the game is in “no man’s land.”

Says Burton:

It’s incredibly hard to solve because there’s so many license holders involved. You’ve got the guys that own the license to the gaming rights now, the guys that have the license to Bond as an IP, and there are umpteen licensees.

Lame. Virtual Console is the easiest way to play classic games on your HDTV without them looking terrible.

Yeah, you can emulate the game, but it’s not really the same as playing it while on your big comfy couch, now is it?

The best part in this game, from what I remember when I was 7, is when you had the laser watch and shot laser beams on that steel plate on the train floor to escape. Freakin’ prime.

I was 12 when I first played it. All bets were off when we figured out how to use proximity mines.

I am glad I am not the only one who thought this was missing.
