Industry News | Rare Talks Nintendo Relationships and VC [news]

Perhaps rather than the VC the DS could be used to output all those classic games, if it could be done cost effectively. I would love it to happen with some select titles.

Goldeneye? no? yes? um?

I'd love to see Perfect Dark on DS or VC. On VC it could be in a higher resolution and would look great.

I'd love to see Conker's Bad Fur Day on DS too. It should technically be possible. I loved that game.

@ irfman,
Goldeneye is the property of MGM not Rare. In order for that game to appear on the Virtual Console, Nintendo would have to be granted a license by MGM, the licenser.

Perfect Dark and Conker's Bad Fur Day would be great on the DS but Rare is working on Viva Pinata and Kameo: Elements of Power for the DS and therefore any other DS project would follow after those other ones are finished.

Nintendo on the other hand, already has an emulator developed for N64 games, the VC. Hopefully Nintendo will put those titles on the VC. But we'll never know until they are released.

Wait didn't rare just confirm the non existance-ness of the xboy?

Interesting. They still get on well huh? & Microsoft have no plans to release a handheld. It really is quite a good relationship, & it's nice that Microsoft let Rare do this for Nintendo systems.

You know how they've taken out the license of games like Tecmo Bowl... Well, they could give us a GoldenEye with a new name, just keep the levels and controls intact, but chance the little things that make it a 007... I'd be cool with that?

Dunno - they'd have a lot of work on their hands, like Bond's likeness, amongst the other characters, scripts, some of the themes etc.

Hopefully we'll get Perfect Dark and Conker, would be teh awesome!

No, that happened when the DSLite took over the world as expected.

I never played Conker, but I love the U.S advert -

Of course i'd be mad to buy Perfect Dark or Conker on VC when i still own them on N64.

I still play on my N64 sometimes too. Got loads of games for it. Most of the best games for it are Rare games.

Actually Danjaq is licenser for everything concerning James Bond. It's a company which is near or even owned by Barbara Broccoli and her producer and the guys at the James Bond Company. They licensed games on James Bond to Activision. But offering a legacy game would be possible with separate negotiations. But I doubt it.

Why, I hope Rare does better jobs to release their games on DS and on X360. last DS releases didn't break any record and were not very good. Kameo and Viva Pinata would be good, but where something of a letdown. Hope coming titles will be better.

If Goldeneye came out on VC with proper Dual stick control,s then I'd get it, even though I have it on N64...

I guess my "immunity" against single control FPS' has grown considerably

I'd prefer to see GoldenEye on XBL, as they would then almost certainly give it the quite necessary online mode. Nintendo would just stick the old ROM up, and charge you a fucking tenner for it. Wankers.

So true...
