GoldenEye 007 was confirmed to be part of the Nintendo Switch Online offerings of N64 titles during the Nintendo Direct today, but that wasn't all--the game will be getting a full remaster treatment, courtesy of Rare. A number of improvements will be made to the classic, including 4K resolution, smoother framerate, achievements, 16:9 widescreen, and online play. Dual analog stick support has also been added, to modernize the control scheme. If you own Rare Replay, you'll get the game for free, or if you have Xbox Game Pass, GoldenEye 007 will also be a part of that library.

That pic says a 4K remaster is coming to N64 NSO, and that's definitely not true, so take the rest with a heap of salt.

Eh, I guess I'll try it out. I always enjoyed Perfect Dark a lot more, and was hoping for that more. Also, why no PC? Also, wow, I actually own Rare Replay, I guess I get it for "free", lol.

The planets really aligned if Eon, Microsoft and Nintendo came to an agreement to have this released. Just like Banjo Kazooie, it seems like Switch version is basic but Xbox version is the enhanced version so here's hoping we'll get more Rareware N64 games.

The one and only good thing that came out of that shit Direct.
Or should I say, Square Enix Direct.

 

[Kioku]

Now I just want a PC port.. Especially for the entirety of Rare Replay...

Just when I thought I was done with this after unlocking 007 mode playing on my modded Wii.

Got a lot of choices/flavours to choose from on my SteamDeck now.

I hope they don’t find a way to fuck this up

 

[Xzi]

Console exclusive? Boo, I thought Microsoft was done with those. Bring Rare Replay to PC you cowards!

 

[gunner6666]

Wonder if they'll just officially release that remaster that was going to be for the 36o. I mean it's already done just needs some tweeks. So why not?

 

[Sakitoshi]

meh. we already have the leaked xbox 360 port that is superior.

Power of comprehension. No need to be a X-men to have it.

Pretty sure that's what we're getting. Press a button on the fly to flick between original and remastered version.

If Xbox doesn’t have online I’m assuming it’s the original ROM with enhancements, thus overhauling MP to be one screen with networking was too far.

 

[Lazyt]

Looks like port to me

 

[Dankstorm]

I've been waiting for ages for this following the rumors and I'm crushed by the no PC release.
Guess it's still gonna be the emu that let's you play with mouse and keyboard for that game

remember, amazon owns 007 now and nobody has exclusive rights to games based on the IP currently, it was the perfect time for this.
