"It's worth keeping in mind that Tilston and Edmonds wouldn't have been involved with high-level discussions between Nintendo, Rare, Microsoft, Activision or any of the Bond rights holders, but given that they saw no evidence that MGM and Eon had a problem with the content of the game, it would seem that Nintendo is ultimately the company that is most responsible for GoldenEye XBLA not being released"
Having read that part as well as their own words on the matter, it seems to me that they were actually quite out of the loop about any negotiations, contracts or basically, everything else.
So we're right back at assuming that Nintendo is to blame based primarily on hearsay. Or more likely, because its the version that everyone feels more comfortable with. Since it "makes sense".
But I dunno... Nintendo of today is not the one that would object at working closely with Microsoft. So why is the GoldenEye game still under lock and key? Who is keeping said game in a vault?
I use to read these type of articles on magazines back in the late 90's.
There was a Spanish mag called "Super Juegos" that when reviewing a sequel to a classic game, they would use up a good chunk of the review to look back at the long history of that game in particular.

Re: Hardware: Analogue Pocket Review - Potent FPGA Power In Portable Form
@dimi The Switch 2 is a console that will be unveiled in 2023 and released in mid/late 2024.
So there is a lot of time left for the NSO to grow on the original Switch.
Nintendo has already discussed the need to improve the service for the current hardware.
Therefore, its likely that GBA games will appear on the system before it gets replaced.
Re: Hardware Review: Analogue Pocket - Potent FPGA Power In Portable Form
@MikeHiscoe I mean Game Boy games are coming to Switch. That's a safe bet.
The NSO thing will need to grow somehow. It will eventually cover Game Boy games as well as other platforms (Game Gear, etc).
Re: Hardware Review: GB Boy Classic And GB Boy Colour: The Best Way To Play Game Boy Today?
I've seen these at stores that sell cheap Made In China products. Never been interested in buying them. Probably because I own a 3DS (a real one).
Then again I grew up mainly as a home console gamer. So the Game Boy provides almost no nostalgia factor for me. Unlike the NES, SNES classic.

Stuff like this is always a good read.
