I never played GoldenEye back when I had an N64 and I've been told I missed out. So I know this is big news for all fans!

It`s actually already been done

Checkout Steam and if you have HL:2, you can download the GoldenEye:Source mod and play the game. It`s mulitplayer only but it`s there with all the weapons, characters, maps, and sounds. Definitely worth checking out

Depends on what you feel is ruining it, I heard somewhere
that it's Daniel Craig's Bond.

Great - I'll finally have a reason to wipe the dust off of my Wii. Seriously, what a freaking disappointing console.

goldeneye was a spectacular game back in the day. the problem is that the game is so terribly outdated. this game is not good at all by today's standards. i'll pass.

It really is lol. Try playing something even somewhat dated like Counter Strike:1.6 and then play GoldenEye and you`ll be wondering how you ever had fun playing an FPS game with that 64 controller.

For me to be interested in the game they`d have to completely overhaul the levels, increase AI difficulty, add new weapons, redo the score(not completely change it, just update it), add new maps, and perhaps even add a few twists and turns in the story just to make it a little more fresh.

so in other words ruin it?

i know what you mean though. every time i've gone back and played a game i enjoyed in my youth it's always been, once the nostalgia wore off, disappointing. i remember it took me forever to beat Donkey Kong Country on the SNES when i was 9, i got it when it came out on the GBA 6 years ago and i beat it in 2 hours

there are only a few games from back in the day that i can still play and enjoy and Goldeneye is not one of them. i have tried many times.

Definitely agree.

That said, I still find Mario Kart and NBA Hangtime incredibly fun even after (wow ) 12 years.

He's right you know.

I play Goldeneye with friends when I get my N64 out every now and then, but its not all that great, good for a bit of nostalgia but thats it.

Mario Party on the other hand... Or Smash Bro's.

Why would I buy that if I don't have a wii and already have it for N64 and an N64 games console with expansion pack and rumble pack?

I'll be picking it up the day it comes out.

Though as a Bond fan, I'm not sure how I feel about Daniel Craig's cold, heartless Bond playing the place of Brosnan's suave Bond. Just not accurate, but if the game is as good as the trailer looks, I can probably overlook that.

The Wii isn't a complete disappointment, it must be just what you're looking for that causes it to disappoint you. I've been playing through Mario Galaxy 2 and it is an amazing game. It all depends on your taste.

The same thing happened with me. I could never beat Diddy Kong Racing for N64, but when it came out for DS, I beat it in a few days.

To change the Bond is to change a huge part of the game. I've never played Goldeneye, but I've played a few other Bond games and I know this to be true.

Why does it look like it's still on the N64? That's the only reason I was disappointed it was on the Wii, because I know the graphics won't get a HUGE update like they would on an HD console.

Because the people behind Nintendo are brilliant.

I could see it as some way of preserving the nostalgic feel of the game...but they replaced Brosnan, so that's pretty much out the window. Daniel Craig is a different Bond.
Of course with lesser graphics, I'm sure the online play might be a bit better than past Nintendo efforts (Smash Bros. Brawl).
