In quite possibly the best news of the day, the N64 classic GoldenEye 007 will be released on Nintendo Switch Online and Xbox Game Pass this Friday - but both versions are very different.
Long before Halo arrived on the scene, it was Rare’s GoldenEye 007 that proved first person shooters could not only work on a console but excel on them, with the game featuring major innovations across both the story campaign and local multiplayer.
Various attempts at remasters or remakes have been made over the years but the only one that came to pass was the lacklustre Activision one in 2010. What’s being released this week will be much closer to the original but, weirdly, it’s going to be two completely different versions for each console. Nintendo’s version of the game isn’t much more than a port of the original and seems like it will just be released as part of the existing N64 Virtual Console. So while the resolution is higher everything else is pretty much exactly how it was in 1997.
The Xbox version is the same game underneath, but it is a more involved remake of the game, although its graphics are still very basic and similar to the remake of Perfect Dark from 2010.
