That was the story; all rights to make James Bond games were with EA or something at the time, and that included remasters/rereleases. Rare was also sold to Microsoft and that probably also complicates matters here unless MS is going to allow it (they have done some things with Nintendo handhelds before, and have done so for a while. This would be a cut above though).An official remaster/reboot would be awesome, so does Nintendo "own it"? Don´t get who would be able to actually make one. Isn´t that why the one for XBLA never got released back then?
Supposedly it was less about different Publishers and more about EON being the rights holder of James Bond and its entire franchise. Supposedly they are very, very VERY picky about how they want their property being utilized with one of the strictest being the focus of only using the "current" James Bond in any newer games regardless if they are based off older properties/movies or not. The only exception being "From Russia With Love" in 2005 and that was possibly due to the time of there being no new James Bond in films yet which may have given the thumbs up from EON to make happen since otherwise they would have wanted their current Bond actor be the face for the game.Nice to see censorship being unwound. Let's see if they can go further still, though not holding my breath.

That said for me Perfect Dark was the superior game anyway and that got an amazing XBLA remaster so I was not complaining.
it wasnt banned, it just wasnt allowed to be advertised and was only allowed to be sold in 18+ stores or closed off 18+ sections. it didnt have an official release but the german version could still be imported from austria for exampleit was banned? almost anyone I know owned it.
I always find this line of thought and odd one in discussions of German censorship.it wasnt banned, it just wasnt allowed to be advertised and was only allowed to be sold in 18+ stores or closed off 18+ sections. it didnt have an official release but the german version could still be imported from austria for example
Even if I thought the blocks on various Nazi imagery in non educational/documentary were a good idea (I truly don't and think them truly moronic) then is there anything like that here in Goldeneye?I'm relieved to learn that those of you throwing around the word "censorship" are fully informed as to why Germany has for the past 70 found it necessary to do such things. I'd "hate" to think you think they're just morons who don't "get it."
