Thats actually all from reliable sources.
Looks like we are in for a shock treat in 2004.
I think so!

Nintendo bought the Goldeneye license therefore the Goldeneye game is owned by Nintendo. Therefore if EA want to make a game based on the original Goldeneye game then Nintendo would aid them by allowing them to use the original Goldeneye game. EA were probably approached by Nintendo about this, afterall they are working VERY closley as of late.
Its believable... if its true or not is another matter.

Wrong. :P
I'm hoping Rare manage to pull out all stop on Xbox and prove me wrong, but judging from the games they showed at E3, they're a mear shadow of the company they used to be.
Still, i'll buy Conker for the online element and i'll probably get Kameo as well.
Cool I'll remain skeptical but hopeful.

What do you mean by that? Its only bullcrap or made up if its got the smiley face next to it! :)
But I know er-no.com only too well.
I don't think Rare were exactly whole souled going into Starfox, the relationhip with Ninty was getting strained by that point, and when they knew they were going to be sold I think they probably just lost heart a bit.
On a new console and with new owners who care, I think they will flourish.
