Rare employees confirmed that Nintendo killed the GoldenEye remaster.

>... When pressed about his involvement, Bury began his first email with two modest answers: "Not sure that there's too much to tell," and "I'm pretty sure I'm no longer under an NDA regarding it."
>As the project went on, Edmonds and Bury point to a moment—exactly when, they can't recall—when their bosses gave the GE360 team a green light. "We were told everyone had approved it," Edmonds says. The rights were all cleared, with no condition that anybody had to work on a version for a Nintendo console or any other requirements. That was all the team needed to hear to continue work on the Xbox 360 version.
>Later, the eight devs on the project learned the truth about negotiations... when GE360 was unceremoniously canceled.
>"When it was put to Nintendo, everyone there approved it," Bury says. "Except they didn't check with the one guy who mattered." The Nintendo executive who spiked the project was not Yamauchi, due to his no longer officially working at Nintendo, but rather some other Nintendo executive, whose name was left a mystery to the Rare development team. "Mark corrected me on that as it wasn’t actually him since he had left, but someone else high up," Bury writes via email.
>"I believe I was told his response went along the lines of, 'There is no way a Nintendo game is coming out on a Microsoft console,'" Bury adds. (If you're wondering how some of Rare's N64 games eventually wound up on Xbox consoles, remember: Rare took many of its older games' rights with it to Microsoft, but not all of them. 2005's Conker: Live and Reloaded was the first example.)

What's your favourite licensed game?

Why is the sound fidelity of the music in this game so shit? Sounds like an SNES game

I can't play this game for more than 15 minutes without getting major motion sickness. How is this one of the most beloved games of all time?
