Microsoft Nixes GoldenEye 007 XBLA Rumors

Microsoft Game Studios has told Eurogamer that it does not plan on releasing GoldenEye 007 on Xbox Live Arcade. Hailed as one of the best first-person shooters of all time, and originally released on Nintendo 64, the Rare-developed game was expected to be released on the service after rumors began to be circulated.

Apparently, the reason for the no-show on XBLA is the fact that Microsoft was unable to acquire the rights to the property from Nintendo, the original publisher. In fact, Rare has already developed a port of the game and Microsoft has gone on record to say that it would “love to release” it in the future if a deal with Nintendo can be reached.

Nintendo, it’s your call! Make people happy, dammit!
