ooooooo man! I really hope they manage it! GOldeneye is the best console multiplayer game ever*


*it is assumed my mind wont change when i play some wii games

[Dooms]

That would be brilliant!

[steve threlfall]

Oh yes

[YorkieBen]

lol, I think that would lead to even more sales for the wiiiii


looking at the press release, nintendo are basically putting all the blame on MS/Rare - what would be hilarious if it came out on the Xbox Marketplace

I wouldn't say 'hilarious' is the word...

I would like to play it since I never had it first time around...still had an Amiga in those days.

[uchiha_itachi]

Do you reckon they will make it wiimote enabled, e.g red steel like. Or just stick to the old controls?

[Raz316]

I doubt they will edit the game, though it would be cool if a new control system was added.

(out of interest does anyone know if any VC games have been altered at all?)

I mean...ever.

Goldeneye on the Wii....damn I hope they give it a new control system!!

[WLC-1989]

I hate to be the one to say this, but I won't be getting it if they do re-release it.

Sure, in its time, GoldenEye was a great game. Revolutionary, one might say. However, I doubt the engine has withstood the test of time; although the maps are still great, the way it runs just seems too old and difficult to use, especially given how much the fps genre has progressed.

Ah come on man

Seriously I played it on my mates N64 the other day with 4-5 of us and it was an absolute blast!!

[darrensen]

Good to hear, i was thinking of buying a N64 on ebay for this alone about 3 months back. Cant wait for my Wii to turn up!

I think if Microsoft and Activision were smart - they would remake Goldeneye entirely and have a control scheme similar to resident evil 4 for the Wii - however since nintendo and microsoft are rivals in the game console market I personally think it doubtful for such luck. virtual console... perhaps, but again i personally think *** would make a port to the 360 if anything.
