Reports coming out of the US from the Games Developers Conference are suggesting that Nintendo's Virtual Console service (its planned retro classics downloads for Revolution) will lack some of the big name games belonging to the now Microsoft-owned Rare.

Apparently both Microsoft and Rare staff have confirmed to that back catalogue Rare titles like Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie, Jet Force Gemini and Conkers Bad Fur Day won't make it onto the retro download service. Perhaps most importantly of all the seminal Goldeneye will also be MIA, unless both Rare and new license holder EA manage to agree a deal.

This is sure to be bad new to all prospective Revolution owners looking forward to relive some retro treats. But It's not all bad news, Rare titles which are owned by Nintendo including the Donkey Kong games and Diddy Kong Racing will be making an appearance.

With any luck Nintendo, Rare and EA will get together in the near future to broker a deal that will allow Goldeneye to make it onto the download catalogue, we certainly hope so.

Are you suggesting that Rare's newer FPSs are 'up-to-date'?

Perfect Dark Zero is very archaic. Goldeneye is a classic FPS. You were most likely 2 when the game came out. Shut up.

I got enjoyment out of Goldeneye. Banjo was mildy entertaining as well, although it was more of a 'take this Nintendo. We can make a reiteration of Mario 64'.

GUNS - LOTS OF GUNS Group: Members Posts: 5396 Member No.: 455 Joined: 2-June 04 Status: (0d)	And anyway; if you really expected Goldeneye of all things, I mean it's just too tangled up in licensing issues now, just like every other major franchise, Bond belongs to the bucks; older games just become less and less the property of their former owners. Even if Rare wanted to make some money by bringing the game to say, Xbox Live Arcade, they can't without taking out every character that made it a Bond game. What a rather stupid concept Of course; Killer Instinct is also owned by Rare, so Press Start, that too won't be coming to Revolution. The exact specifics of the Nintendo/Rare split pretty much entailed Rare kept all franchises it created on its own, so all those aforementioned plus KI; but obviously excluding Donkey Kong and crew. I take back what I said about FPS anyhow; Goldeneye had a pretty decent framerate at times, Perfect Dark was a true sinner though; and deserves a real update, somewhere. --------------------
