GoldenEye for the N64 is quite frankly the godfather of all four-player split-screen multi-player game from 1997 that that sold over eight million copies and produced has a legion of passionate fans worldwide, is coming back better than ever. If you don’t remember the game check out my game pictures I shot when I heard the great news.
I reviewed GoldenEye 007 in 1997 in my “Video Game of the Week” Miami Herald/Knight Wire Syndicated video game column. It was my all time favorite game to review, when I could wrestle it from my nephew’s who love even to this day to play in multi-player mode.
Well enough of the classic love fest, James Bond is back in Activision’s new updated GoldenEye 007, which was unveiled at Nintendo’s press briefing, during the Electronic Entertainment Exposition (E3) in Los Angeles.
The above game trailer shows a promise of things too come. But regardless it will be hard to beat the original game play and the staying power of the the best cartridge game system ever made. How do I know, mine still works after 13 years!
Here are the facts, it’s developed exclusively for Wii and based on the GoldeneEye film, GoldenEye 007 gives players the chance to use the lethal, gritty style of Daniel Craig’s James Bond (should have left Pierce Bronson in) as Bond to outwit, outmaneuver and overtake an arms syndicate that threatens the world in an innovative, modern take on the legendary GoldenEye movie adventure.
“GoldenEye 007 for the N64 was one of the most acclaimed games and fans regularly cite it as one of the most influential and important titles in history,” said David Pokress, Head of Marketing for Licensed Properties, Activision Publishing. “We’re thrilled to bring the new GoldenEye 007 to gamers around the world as an all-new adventure that seamlessly integrates nostalgic GoldenEye movie moments with innovative FPS gameplay and unique multiplayer action that is unrivaled on the platform.”
