The big gaming buzz for the past few days was that the classic FPS, Goldeneye, was slated for re-release on Xbox Live Arcade until it got scrapped due to some disputes over money between Microsoft and Nintendo. So where does that leave us, the gamers who would love to see one of their favorite games of all time ported to the 360? Doing what we do best: rallying people through online petitions. One 007 fan, Daniel Scott Duncan, has penned a quick petition urging other fans to show Nintendo and Microsoft just how much they want to see their beloved game revived. He’s also provided a few contact e-mails if you want to let any of these companies know personally how you feel. Right now the petition has garnered are over 12,000 signatures; not bad considering it seems to have been created only two or three days ago. You can add yours to the list through the link below.
I hope you’re listening, Nintendo and Microsoft. Seriously, guys, we are almost literally on our knees begging you to resell us something we already bought over a decade ago. How often does that happen? *Insert joke about the original Star Wars Trilogy here*

too bad, Goldeneye is a classic, anyone that talks on the N64 days, Goldeneye is one of their favs. That golden gun is great.
I would think if Nintendo cannot come to an agreement with Moneysoft on this, they will release it themselves on the Wii, im not sure if they already have done this or will. I dont Dl virtural console games on my Wii. but ya id sign that petition to release it on the 360, it would be a hit.

but I also think the XBLA servers couldn’t support the demand for this title and would go offline.

Why the hell do you guys think for a second that a petition signed by 360 fans will persuade Nintendo to allow the game? YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS HAPPEN. It astounds me that anyone could be dense enough to think this will do anything at all. I don’t know if Nintendo needs permission from Rare to make the game on wii or DS but if they do then GoldenEye simply will never get remade. So keep signing your pointless petitions

It’s too bad this has gone this way, I mean think about the perfect market to release GoldenEye on, 360 happy online shooters that’s for sure. The best part in the game was 4 player multiplayer and that was split screen on a 12 inch TV! haha Yea I really wish that companies could get along. Make the Wii60 and GoldenEye or split the profits, shit you’ll make tons for sure.

I’d sooner sign this over to the Wii. This petition’s intentions are horrifying.

Yeah this games was one of the best they seriously need to bring it back. This would be the perfect game to put the on xbox live arcade just because its a fps. That is pretty much a handful of the games on the xbox. Us gamers are practically waiting for it.

It appears we will simply have to hope and pray that Activision’s new Bond game, scheduled to be released this year, will have some of the great qualities of the original(goldeneye 007) along with online multiplayer. I’d settle for a generic looking James Bond in a tux, if they could get the approval to use some of the classic enemies, Blofeld, Goldfinger, Trevelyn, Jaws, etc. EA really screwed the franchise over the past 5 years, here’s to the future.
