Topic	GoldenEye 007 Remaster Was Canceled by Nintendo With Only a Few Bugs Left to Fix
Darmik 02/10/21 7:09:03 PM #50:	Collat posted... Not the case with any other Rare game though aside from one's dealing with Nintendo properties for obvious reasons. Because Microsoft got the complete rights to those games. Nintendo gave them up to Rare. They wouldn't have been able to with Goldeneye because they'd also have to reach an agreement with MGM. Collat posted... There just seems to be this long standing urban legend where Nintendo is sitting on the rights to one specific Bond movie forever even though they haven't touched it in 25 years and other game companies have used it without issue. It's not an urban legend. The developers literally said this is the case. Nintendo don't own the rights to Bond or even Goldeneye. They hold some sort of ownership over the specific Goldeneye game they published. Nintendo also cannot do anything with it on their own. It requires approval from Nintendo, Microsoft and MGM due to all three of them having a stake of ownership of the N64 original. We even have another example of this fairly recently. Disney was able to re-release the Virgin Interactive version of Aladdin no problem. But they haven't re-released the Capcom version. If what you were saying was correct it wouldn't matter because Capcom don't own the rights to Aladdin but clearly that isn't the case. Capcom have some sort of ownership over the SNES game so Disney need to reach and agreement with them if they ever want to re-release it. Likewise Capcom cannot do anything without Disney's approval. This is why movie rights games are often stuck in limbo. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:950502149] in GoldenEye ...
