I think this one would be a bit different since it was the exact same game Nintendo published in the 90s with prettier visuals. So while Nintendo don't have any rights over the Goldeneye name or any new adaptations of the movie I could see them having some sort of ownership over the game they published so that would stop publishers and developers from simply releasing the same game again.

Not the case with any other Rare game though aside from one's dealing with Nintendo properties for obvious reasons.

There just seems to be this long standing urban legend where Nintendo is sitting on the rights to one specific Bond movie forever even though they haven't touched it in 25 years and other game companies have used it without issue.
