For many, GoldenEye was the turning point for first-person shooters on consoles, and in many ways defined the Nintendo 64-era of gaming. Since then, publishers and developers haven't been able to capture the same magic of Rare's original. So what do you do? You remake it, apparently.
According to a leaked survey, Activision will be releasing a new version of GoldenEye for the Wii, "developed from the ground up" to take "advantage of the latest technology to deliver the same intense experience with today's graphics and physics." The title will supposedly "modernize" the classic story, placing Daniel Craig in the role of Bond. The survey suggests that many (if not all) of the originals areas from the N64 title will return, along with its weapons and four-player split-screen. The game will reportedly support 8-player online matches, as well.
A potential golden Wii Remote shell, as well as a golden Classic controller, were also hinted at in the survey.
Following this survey leak, Eurogamer has received word that Eurocom (responsible for the N64 Bond outing, The World is Not Enough) will be developing the title, along with n-Space. GoldenEye for Wii, along with an Nintendo DS title of the same name, is said to be revealed at this year's E3.

I don't usually go for special edition games, but hardware? Give me that fucking gold classic controller, I don't care how much it costs.

Seriously though, if this were true, it would be:
Awesome because GOLDENEYE
Shitty because Wii online = unmonitored cheat-fest
XBL recently got an update of Perfect Dark with Goldeeye multiplayer levels reskinned as PD levels, but Rare can do that because they reskinned them. There's your "Goldeneye" on other consoles.
Perfect Dark was always better anyway, though, it was romanticism that makes people spooge all over Goldeneye. It sure as hell wasn't the movie because the movie was total shit. Maybe Daniel Craig and a new cast can make the game version better than the Bronson movie was.
I like the Craig's Bond movies better anyway.
It could be fake; we've been fooled before. But this one has been gaining some traction, so I decided to pass it along. Also, I _did_ post about it; I feel pretty comfortable backing the information.
Just let Goldeneye rest on its perch among one of the greatest console FPS,
>Activision
>On the Wii
Wow, this industry is a joke isn't it?
Also, with the rumors that the 3DS is "better than Wii and closer to XBox360/PS3 graphics" I think i would rather get this on 3DS than Wii!
This alone is worth a purchase:
When you go back to it, Goldeneye works for nostalgia. It's not something still super satisfying like Doom; no, Goldeneye works because you remember playing it with your friends. A Wiimake with a different actor in the starring role might as well be an entirely different game. Which tells me the title is a cash in, which is followed by the whole thing being a cash in.
@Jaffacakelover maybe they meant the "latest" technology; after all, it's not going to be the next Crysis.
If this does happen, though, and classic controller support is an option, I'd buy it. I would hate for this game to be Wiimote only as there'd be no point in even playing the game.
That is what the Wii is for.
People you think are casual gamers will go ballistic over this. I'm not kidding.
That's what I want- my childhood back, and way better.
You think they're going to toss Sony and MS a bone? If they were that stupid, they might as well give up The Last Story, Xenoblade and, hell, Mario while they're at it.
Because leaving Mario Galaxy 2 on the Wii is an act of cruelty to people that own 360 and PS3.
@diremagic&Grimspoon-agreed, none of this retconning bs. The different bonds are distinctly different characters, you can't just pick one up and put him in another role.
@crazyape&Ghost-It's not a scorpion, clearly that is a golden Klobb
I'm personally happy the recent Bond movies got ride of the campy shlock they've been mired in for decades. New Bonds are actually more like the books, rather than parodies of the books.
Holy shit I know it's Actibastards but YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
The game is just gravy
