A couple days ago, we reported on a rumor that suggested that Rare was working on an Xbox Live Arcade version of GoldenEye, but at the last moment right before release, the project was scrapped.

According to 1UP, this is not a rumor, it's true. The XBLA version of GoldenEye was indeed real. However, it was not a remake, but rather a complete port of the original with the addition of online multiplayer over Live.

So why didn't the port see the light of day? Microsoft's attempted financial negotiations with Nintendo failed and that's it. The title was scrapped, right at the last minute. A shame, really.

Why Did GoldenEye XBLA Stall? [1UP]
 
I WILL DESTROY ALL WHO STOOD IN THE WAY OF THE PRODUCTION OF THIS GAME:cursing:
 
Yeah..that would be Nintendo who stood in the way of this thing, so, right now, good job Nintendo, for pushing me away and making my next console purchase an Xbox 360 rather than a Wii.. Goldeneye was my favorate childhood game, and I almost got to play it again, and BOOM, Nintendo got greedy.
