if a Goldeneye remaster is coming soon with online play, wonder how long till lobbies start ganging up on players playing Oddjob? I don't blame them
 
To briefly explain the rights limbo:

Goldeneye 007 was developed by Rare, but published by Nintendo. The Rare acquisition did not include GE007 from Nintendo. Even so, Activision HAD exclusive publishing rights to 007's likenesses until 007 Legends. MGM and OEM, the movie rights holders, has say on those general rights.

I'm guessing now, Nintendo approved the GE007 rights for Rare since they are friendlier with MS now.

The main problem with the Goldeneye rights issue was Eon Productions themselves, they didn't wanted a game featuring a previous Bond while the Craig movies were a thing, it's the reason why the Wii remake used him instead of Brosnan.

We still could at least have gotten a more faithful remake on the Wii instead of a Call of Duty clone if it wasn't for Eon, weirdly enough Nintendo didn't cared about the remake getting ported to the 360 and PS3 later on.

Was that remake a bad game?
 
I think Goldeneye sucks. There was some innovative features such as having multiple missions per level and some of the spy gadgets but overall it didn't age well in every other area.

And yes, I played it back in the day and preferred Turok. I even played it more recently with an emulator running at 60 FPS with mouse-look and I still didn't terribly like it.

It's like GTA 3:
Super influential and important, but since it's one of the first of its kind it lacks the refinement later games brought and therefore plays like shit compared to what we've come to expect.

I played GTA 3 years after the hype and had fun with it. I played Goldeneye years after playing Doom and other better FPS and walked away from it thinking "Yeah, it was okay. The cheat codes were fun." I said to myself with a shrug of the shoulders. Then it became this acclaimed masterpiece by retrofags in later years.

Nintendo and Rare had rights to the specific game and code that they made and published. I didn't play GE Wii but if it just based itself on the movie instead of the game then Nintendo and Rare would have no claim to it, since it was a movie tie-in instead of their own IP.

It's kinda it's own thing, especially when they reworked the motivation of Alex to make it more about the 2008 recession than the cossacks in the movie(I think?)

I actually like GoldenEye still, but yeah I always wondered how it was "OMFG BEST FPS EVAR" when you had Duke 3D, PowerSlave (both vesions), Quake, Blood, Shadow Warrior, Quake II, Hexen II...

Edit: I think it's better than Turok though, sorry.
