Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has revealed Nintendo's efforts to bring N64 classic Goldeneye 007 to the Wii Virtual Console, in an interview with MTV.com.
"Would I love to see it on virtual console? Absolutely. But there are a lot of issues there," the Nintendo boss said, adding that there's still a chance that we'll be shooting up Facility on the Wii: "Suffice it to say we would love to see it, so we're exploring all the rights issues."
It goes without saying there's a lot of legal tip-toeing to be done before Goldeneye reaches Nintendo's download service, as original developer Rare is now sheaved under the Microsoft cloak and the Bond game license is now in the hands of Activision.
Still, it's not impossible and we'll certainly be keeping our fingers crossed for Wii remote-mine flinging nostalgia - and no one's allowed to be Oddjob.
