Why isn't Golden Eye out on Wii's Virtual Console yet?

Asked by designfire (102points) January 1st, 2009

007 Golden Eye was one of the best games for the N64 IMHO, and I would love to play it again on my Wii, but it is still a no show in the Virtual Console library. Anyone know why, or when it is coming out?

You got me curious, and it looks like there’s a number of issues that are keeping it from happening.

First, Activision apparently owns the rights to James Bond video games… so Nintendo has to get some kind of ok from them.

Next, Rare, the company that made the game, was bought by Microsoft, so I’m sure they’d rather see it appear for their system.

But it looks like some folks have ported it over, although it’s not an official release. Check out google for more details.
