@the8thark When it comes to rights and who owns what, Rareware only made Goldeneye because Nintendo had the Bond license. So essentially at that time, James Bond was a Nintendo IP much in the same way as Donkey Kong and Starfox. Now by the time Rareware was purchased in 2001, the Bond license had moved over to EA and then Activision.
Goldeneye was made because Nintendo bought the rights and it was on their system, why shouldn't they have a say on whether or not it appears on another platform. But to have someone step in when all the boxes were assumed to be crossed is still a dick move.

In my eyes, Amigo is really nothing more than a Wii, if the entire library was Wii shovelware and nothing else.
