“It wasn’t something we were really doing – we were trying to build our own IP, and film tie-ins meant a lot of ownership by the film company. But Nintendo was very keen.” – Rare’s Mark Betteridge

“Internally, while GoldenEye was being produced, there wasn’t an awful lot of faith in the game around the company apart from the core members of that team. I saw the game at various stages during its development, and I think, about four months before release, I saw a build of it and I thought, ‘Jesus Christ, it’s a bit of a mess.’ But then it all came together very close to the end.” – Rare’s George Andreas

The fait got so low for GoldenEye Wii that Nintendo actual sent a letter to Rare asking them to stop production of the game. It seems like the production team never heard of the letter and the game went on as planed.
