That was almost a decade later. The guy that vetoed it in Nintendo maybe wasn't there anymore. Maybe they didn't have to navigate some of the legal issues this game had as well.
The Banjo Kazooie remake came out on 360 in 2008. And Conker was even before that.

Clickbait.

In an earlier interview, they said it was more about the movie and games being licensed by different companies and trying to secure the likeness of all the actors.

By the time they were working on this, EA already made a Goldeneye "spinoff" for PS2 and xbox without issue. Activision's remake also ended up on PS3 and 360.

Nintendo don't own shit.
Yeah, I don't get this. Nintendo doesn't own the IP, and would ultimately have no control over this project.

EON put in more strict rights issues after the surprise success of the game. There's references to other movies, likenesses of several real life actors, and different ownerships of the theme remixes. The Activision version had none of those, and was more in line with the current film requirements.

I know it's from some of the developers, but the rights issue with the film production company makes more sense.
