“Forgive me father, for I have sinned.”
“What did you do my child?”
“I spawn camped in a ladder match.”
“Ohh, a very serious crime my child. As penance you must watch what could have been, but never was - Goldeneye on the 360.”
*weeping* “Thank You father.”
You might have been ecstatic when we reported that Goldeneye was soon coming to Live Arcade, but it’s time to change your Myspace moods to depressed because the game has been put on an indefinite hold. The reason behind the unfortunate turn of events is a licensing disagreement between Microsoft and Nintendo. It’s no wonder really, given Nintendo probably want their legendary game on their own arcade service.
Want even more hurt? The game was only 2 months away from release and included all the maps and weapons of the original. Worst of all it was all set up for online multiplayer.
If you are of the opinion that online petitions have actually achieved anything, then you might want to head over to this one and help reverse the decision.

Xbox Evolved have reportedly seen evidence of a recent agreement between Activision, Rareware and MGM Studios that will see the Nintendo 64 classic Goldeneye 007 released on the Xbox Live Arcade.
The game will feature updated graphics and multiplayer over Xbox Live, and is planned for release shortly before the release of the new Bond game from Activision.
