Maybe Microsoft will do an updated version of Perfect Dark instead since Goldeneye isnt happening.

They already have Perfect Dark Zero so 360 owners who never played the N64 game might not be so eager to buy a game that could be perceived by them as being an older version of what they already got, although in reality Perfect Dark Zero wasnt a patch on Perfect Dark 64.

Microsoft should allow Rare games on VC because they would still make money on them but Microsoft doesnt need the money so they wont.

Microsoft wants to--they've already updated the game for XBLA, but they can't release it without Nintendo coming to the table. Nintendo has refused their offer.

way to go, nintendo.

What i meant was that Microsoft could allow Rare games to be on Wii VC only and Microsoft would still earn money from them.

Microsoft are not bothered about money though, they just want the games to help sell more 360s and Nintendo just want the games to be VC exclusive so that they wouldnt help sell more 360s.

Microsoft could still release other Rare games on XBLA. Perfect Dark and Conker's Bad Fur Day being some examples. Those were published by Rare and not Nintendo.

I think the only other N64 game they did apart from those 2 that wasnt published by Nintendo was Jet Force Gemini. I guess they could get away with Killer Instinct too as the arcade version was by Williams.

Edit: They also published Diddy Kong Racing but Nintendo still owns the rights to the Diddy Kong character.

But either way, I hear Jet Force Gemeni was pretty good. I always wanted it but I could never afford it back then. Killer Instinct? My favorite fighting game of all time, I would certainly fork over 400-800 MS points for that.

I missed out on it too, i wonder why they havent put it on Live Arcade yet.

I just wish they could work it all out and get these games out of limbo. Of all Rares games i think id like to be able to play Blast Corps again even more than Goldeneye.

Lol Blast Corps, the first N64 game I ever owned. I played that for a LONG time. Back in the days when 1 game would last months. Sadly I get bored of games after a few days because online has corrupted the definition of replay value
