Yeah, but since the DK license is owned by Nintendo there were no issues. Apparently characters like Diddy and Trixie Kong are not so clear-cut because they were created by Rare for the later games, albeit within the DK universe. These issues will certainly be clarified fairly soon as Nintendo seeks to release more games on the VC.
Incidentally, this is the same reason we'll never see Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie on the VC, imho an even bigger travesty. As great as Goldeneye was for its time (and it was) it is probably one of the N64 games that's aged least gracefully over the years. Fired mine up again the other day, and came to the conclusion that not many people are likely to have a revelation like they did with Star Fox 64. |
