Goldeneye for Xbox Live Arcade looking like a possibility

[Neon Genesis]

Is there a huge demand, though? Or are we nostalgic online fanboys just working ourselves up about it? I mean, the game is pretty old. Newer gamers (the ones not on online gaming forums) probably don't know much about it.

As somebody who went from SNES to PS, I never saw or heard anything of it. I think i'm not too terribly atypical.

I played it once when it was new, at my friends house. Haven't played it since. And I mean... well... we gaming fans search for news like this, but other serious gamers may not, and may be too young to remember.

Yep, if not for this site, I would have never have known this game ever existed. You're absolutely correct.

If there are rumors about it on a pretty regular basis, it is safe to say many want it. While the game probably won't click with the younger crowd, be assured, lots of the people who played the original will want this.

Gaming ain't that old.

I was pretty young when it came out, and I love it. And I know there are a lot of other people who do as well.

Yeah, because it's not as refined as Halo, a lot of younger people are going to hate it, but it's the first console shooter that did everything right and I still love it and it's all about me.

It also has the awsomest explosions ever.

However, only two months from completion, Microsoft and Nintendo couldn't agree on how they were going to split the proceeds, and the project was shit-canned. Game over. For those looking for a glimmer of hope, 1UP reckon the only way to salvage the project is to complain. Loudly.

MOTHERFUCKING!!! FAIL!

Ok, so lets start a petition or a mass email or something. They obviously had it in the works. A loud enough voice from the the community might make them take a second look. Some of you guys are members at other gaming forums, get them to send something too.
