Thats actually all from reliable sources.

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.

As EA own the license they can do whatever they want. Nintendo don't own the rights to Goldeneye. They just have that game. It could be redone without Ninendos permission. Besides, Rare own the copyright to it anyway..

The whole game was abysmal, it was just a cut and paste of other games that totally lacked in all areas except for graphics.

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.

Nintendo owned the Goldeneye license and so can probably lease the game to EA to improve upon... as Nintendo own the game and EA own teh license it would be an exclusive Gamecube game.

But I know er-no.com only too well.

No I don't imagine it was for all that length of time. But Starfox could have been better with just a bit more work. But if they didn't care anymore then they wouldn't put in the effort.

The relationship with ninty wasn't on the ropes for the 4 years that Starfox was in development.

I loved DK64. Never could find a banana in the years I had the game but I loved it none the less.

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.
