In a recent interview with MTV, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime talked all things Wii, including this little tidbit when asked about seminal classic Goldeneye coming to the Wii virtual console.
"Would I love to see it on virtual console? Absolutely. But there are a lot of issues there. Suffice it to say we would love to see it, so we're exploring all the rights issues."

Is it worth it? I know the game is considered a classic of the multiplayer FPS genre, but now that we're used to Quake Arena and Unreal tournament, will this game hold up? Something tells me it won't. I still remember how lackluster the single player game was, and I think multiplayer was successful because of the 4 ports on the N64.

Don't get me wrong I LOVED this game, but I doubt it aged well. But I hope I'm wrong.

It really hasn't held up well at all. I played it not too long ago after a few years of playing the Timesplitters games and Golden Eye is painfully slow and not exactly a joy to play control-wise. I loved it back in the day but now it's like the alzheimers aunt you loved but try to ignore now because it makes you sad.
