No, I'm not being smarmy and showing you footage of the movie Goldeneye. Rather, Zac Kroger and some friends put together this tribute to the awesomeness that was Goldeneye 64, a game that will take 6 years to come out on the Virtual Console. I think they did a wonderful job with this video, as their firing skills truly capture what it was like playing the game for the first time on the N64, or if you play Red Steel at any point.

now wheres my Road rash 64?
BTW Road Rash sucked out of control... fun but sucked out of control.
For the rest of us:

No problem. I didn't mean to come across like a dick. If I did, sorry. You guys do great work on this site. But, what I like to call the "smarmy pandemic" has pushed me over the edge lately.
And I'm in the minority I think... This game was great for it's time, but I have no desire to ever play it again. Even if they revamped the controls, upped the graphics, and gave it online multiplayer, I doubt it'd be as good as it was back then.
A lot of 64 games really still hold up well today; Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, The Legend of Zelda games, and Starfox 64 are still fun, and to this day I warm up Super Smash Brothers every so often to play some 3 or 4-player deathmatch. Goldeneye, unfortunately, hasn't aged so well.
If you still long for some old-school Goldeneye action, give Goldeneye Source a shot. It's still in beta and has its share of bugs and balancing problems, but it does a remarkably good job of capturing Goldeneye's vibe while making it suprisingly playable for people who've played games like Serious Sam, Half-Life 2 and FEAR.
