Because even the Tested guys couldn't figure out how to trick an N64 into getting on the Internet, we'll be playing the new Wii remake of GoldenEye 007 on this week's Thursday Night Throwdown! Frankly, I'm almost more surprised that we're playing a Wii game on TNT as I am that this remake actually got made!

If the promise of two action-packed hours of GoldenEye action isn't enough to draw you in, we've also got three copies of the game--complete with a gold, limited-edition Classic Controller Pro--and a whole gang of these kick-ass Oddjob-themed shirts to give away. If you're lucky, you may even get a chance to shoot some folks from Activision! Now how much would you pay? 

         

1. Enter Giant Bomb's GoldenEye 007 GAME-SPECIFIC friend code into your copy of GoldenEye 007 for the Wii. HERE IS THAT CODE:1020 8491 3859
2. Post your GoldenEye 007 GAME-SPECIFIC friend code in the comments below. This is a SEPARATE CODE from your Wii system code, and consists of only 12 characters, rather than 16. You can find this code within the GoldenEye multiplayer menus.
3. Get online and be ready to play between 4PM and 6PM Pacific Daylight Time this Thursday!
4. No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!

cool. me likes

Damn, so complicated to get things going with the Wii.

Is it a four player game online game?  Hope they manage to get enough people to start a match.

Prepare to die Giant Bomb crew !!

like it.

Want that t-shirt

Holy fuck that theme song.

James Bond Jr. was fucking awesome. I have, like, two of the books or something.

Damn, that shirt alone makes me want to get this game and play this Thursday.

This games makes me want to buy a Wii. And that is saying a lot.

this is going to be the most painful tnt to watch, just gonna be 2 hours of getting a match set up and maybe 1 game.

I expect a low turnout but I still think it's going to be fun to watch.

I love the fact that Ryan had to really sell this TNT session, lol.

They should have two consoles so that they can set-up one match while the other is being streamed.

Poor intern who will have to enter all those 12 digit codes haha

Are they giving free games to have someone to play with on this week TNT?

It is still not late to rename this weeks TNT to "TNT: Vinny and Drew's Random Show"?

I think I saw James Bond Jr before but holy god that looks awful.

Oh god, no. There's going to be way to much Oddjob in this. I know already that this isn't going to be good for my blood pressure.

It's a shame Nintendo went with one of the most convoluted methods possible for online play.  
It feels like there's a real chance you'll get no players...

Don't think anyone will show up for this the wii gets vilified on the forums

I will jump through the necessary hoops to get involved in another TNT.

" I just thought it was a Thursday today because of this post. Hmmm.... "

Hooray for xenophobic methods of playing with others online! Seriously, the Wii doesn't have online play so much as it has VPN play.

I'm betting 5 people show up for the TNT.

Hopefully we get more people in lol.  Here's my code:

Here's my friend code, 499403840580, hope I get to play!!! BTW there should totally be a dry run before Thursday seeing how the Wii Online system is messed up.

I hope people turn up for this

Being unemployed has caused me to completely lose track of what day it is, so the same thing happened to me. "

I'd happily jump through some hoops if the game were out in Europe. Sadly it's not out until Friday. :-( 

I don't know, the game was not that much fun to watch in the quicklook.  Why not do the 4 player split screen from the N64?  At least throw that in there for comparison's sake for 30 minutes.

Oh man, I can't wait to get down.
  

Nintendo has the most fucked up online bullshit ever. I cannot imagine the reason for this bullshit. It must have wasted so much fucking time. 
 
But I really enjoyed the Quick Look so I'll probably watch this.

Jeez, that animated show looks awful. Let me guess, James Bond Jr is conveniently American, not British? You could have called the show "Generic Action Kid" and it would have still fit. 
 
How it ever got made is beyond me. Then again, 1991 is beyond me.

This should be interesting seems kind of a risk to have it on wii wonder how many people there will be

Yeah James Bond Jr.! I actually watched a few those. Didn't think much of it, but it was funny anyway.

I'm not seeing too many friend codes in these comments...

Get James Bond Jr. and Young Indiana Jones together and THEN you've got a Thursday Night Throwdown!!
