Since the early days of Xbox Live Arcade, gamers everywhere have been dreaming of the games they'd love to see on the service. While some wishes have come to pass, other remain rumors. This one comes to us from Xbox Evolved and it concerns none other than the Nintendo 64 darling from Rare, GoldenEye. Heralded by many as one of the best FPS games to grace a console -- and certainly one of the first games to prove an FPS could be done well on a console -- GoldenEye could be on its merry way to Xbox Live Arcade sometime soon. Apparently a deal has been reached between Rare, Activision, who owns the game rights to James Bond, and MGM Studios, who owns the film rights to James Bond. Supposedly the game should release shortly before the upcoming Activision published James Bond title rumored to be under development at Bizarre.
But wait, there's more! Xbox Evolved is also reporting that Rare is planning on releasing more of its back catalog on XBLA including the original Perfect Dark and Banjo Kazooie. And before you ask, no, Killer Instinct isn't mentioned.

As much as I love Ninty and their VC.
I'd rather Microsoft just have Goldeneye, it would be so awesome....

It's a wonderful idea to dismantle old games, and improve them with innovative and new-wave technology on new systems. However, look at what happened when N64 tried to redo Donkey Kong Country: Mario World 64, replaced with the Donkey Kong Crew...terrible.
Goldeneye for 360 would be outstanding.
Although, I've been thinking: Why not redo the SNES version of Donkey Kong Country--same levels, boses and achievements, but much harder and from the point-of-view of Donkey Kong, rather than side-screen scroll.
A little far fetched.
Take Care,
S.

If goldeneye comes out on the 360 it would be a bigger release than GTA 4. Bye bye PS3 you may have won over the world with blue ray (the only excuse for buying a PS3) but you have lost the console gaming war.
Come on goldeneye !!
