What's with all this GoldenEye XBLA nonsense? Real or not?

[The Fake Shemp]

One of my co-workers came in swearing that Microsoft and Rare are actually going to put GoldenEye on XBLA.  I haven't heard a peep from fellow Evilborians.  What gives?

[Vizzys]

supposedly real and already made,

 but bond licensing issues or something

[The Sceneman]

who cares, the game is a turd

[demi]

It's real, but got shitcanned at the last minute because Ninty and MS couldnt agree on terms

[The Sceneman]

if they brought Mother 3 with achievements to Xbla, that would be fucking news

[demi]

have you even played Goldeneye this decade? It has dated terribly

old PC shooters like Doom and Heretic have held up much better

Doom is already on xbla, just get that

actually goldeneye is pretty fun if you memorize the levels, go 007 mode, and put on a cheat or two.  the way you can just go through and pop everybody in the head and try and do it without getting hit once can really test your stamina.  especially since the concept for the controls is still fun.  it's one of my guilty pleasures honestly.  it probably wouldn't work well with the 360 controller though.

i tried to play it through other means recently and the controls didn't map well to the xbox 360 controller hooked to my pc

Doesn't it have an option that switches the sticks from current convention? Just switch the sticks in the input settings of the emu.
