GoldenEye 007 for Wii VC, XBLA “long past the stage where an agreement was on the cards”
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 38 Comments
Last year, there was a whole lot of news concerning GoldenEye for the Wii Virtual Console and Xbox Live Arcade. Initially, sources told EGM magazine that Nintendo and Microsoft were unable to reach an agreement when financial terms were being discussed. Then Rare spoke up and said that liscensing issues prevented the game’s re-release. Last but not least, an Activision source later ultimately placed blame on Nintendo as one of the reasons for the game never seeing the light of day.
Sadly, it doesn’t look like things will be changing any time soon. Rare addressed a bunch of topics in its most recent Scribes update and one reader question brought up was whether GoldenEye could launch on the Wii/360 and if an agreement can be reached. Rare’s response is below.
“That was some time ago, my friend. Fate was against us that day. Destiny conspired to raise the hurdles even as we attempted to clear them, resulting in unpleasant groinal injury. I suspect we’re long past the stage where an agreement was on the cards, but you never know. Stranger things have happened… somewhere… probably.”

Someone at GAME made a big boo-boo
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 8 Comments
Cammie Dunaway will be forever known for her E3 2008 performance, when she participated in a demo of Shaun White Snowboarding on stage. Between the story about her broken wrist and her Balance Board performance, that whole portion of Nintendo’s E3 conference became a running joke of sorts.
Someone over at GAME (a giant UK retailer) must have recalled what happened at E3 last year. As you can see from the boxart above, the image features a significant blunder. No, Cammie Dunaway is not in Shaun White Snowboarding 2. You have to wonder how that modified version of the boxart managed to slip through on to GAME’s website!

Wii price drop pretty much confirmed
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 5 Comments
It was inevitable, wasn’t it? Earlier today during a conference call, the Wii’s price drop was apparently confirmed. As was expected, the new price of the console will be dropped to $199 on Sunday, September 27th. Because of the Walmart, Toys R Us, Target, and Best Buy ad listings, a widespread cut is probable. Nintendo has not made an official announcement yet, but it looks like all of the rumors can finally be put to rest.
Another retailer joins in on the Wii price drop party

Walmart, Toys R Us, Target, and now Best Buy are saying that there will be a Wii price drop in just a matter of weeks. I’m still going to remain on the rumor, but this is looking more official as the days go by.
Thanks to Thomas for the news tip!
New Super Mario Bros. Wii boxart, Walmart deal
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
We’ll have to see if this boxart sticks, as Nintendo has a few months to change it. As far as the Walmart deal goes, you can obtain a $10 eGift Card with the game.
Thanks to vocOS3 for the news tip!
