Goldeneye 007 Remake Revealed, Exclusive For Wii

The N64 classic, remade and updated for 2010.

By Matt Kessler  |  June 15, 2010

The long rumored Goldeneye remake has finally been revealed. Today, at their E3 Press Conference, Nintendo revealed that Activision and Eurocom were developing a remake of the Nintendo 64 FPS classic Goldeneye. Developed exclusively for the Wii, Goldeneye looks to use the same plot and environments from the original game, updated with Wii motion controls, a more modern graphical palette and a completely different James Bond character. 
 
The new Goldeneye will use current franchise star Daniel Craig (instead of the actor in the original movie/game, Pierce Brosnan) but still take place in the same plot as the 13 year old Goldeneye. The remake will see the return of the original game's splitscreen multiplayer, as well as its variety of gameplay types (fingers crossed for Donkey Kong Mode!).

The original console FPS returns... with a different publisher and developer.

 
Goldeneye 007 will be out on the Wii this holiday, so expect to see Daniel Craig jumping into a tank and driving up to the airplane before too long.. Is this remake what you guys have always wanted from a new Goldeneye? Are you folks interested in picking it up and taping cardboard to your TV like it's 1997?

I'll be curious to see if they have the original as an unlockable feature or something in the remake.

No Oddjob!

I'm really excited about this, seems to be right on.

I thought it was a brand new Goldeneye game, not just a remake

YES!! This will be amazing!

If only it was on a console that had a real control scheme.  Oh well. 
 
Besides why make a game based on Goldeneye without the actual guy who was in Goldeneye? Is it some sort of copyright reason?

Lol, every single giant bomb goldeneye article talks about cardboard on tv's.
 
Gotta love it haha

I'm not as sure this is a remake.

Not made by Rare. Meh.

If the Nintendo press conference told us one thing. It's that it is 1990 and here is your bottle of shasta to play Goldeneye all night for.

I really wanted an HD remake for download on XBLA or PSN like what Rare did for Perfect Dark on XBLA. I'm guessing Nintendo owns the Goldeneye franchise from N64, so naturally their the only ones that could remake. Disappointed.

When did they say this is a remake and not a new game?
JJOR64on June 15, 2010 at 10:47 a.m.
It doesn't look that good, plus with WFC, people will probably hack the online like The Conduit and CoD 4 Wii.
B0nd07on June 15, 2010 at 10:47 a.m.
I can't wait for this!
TripMasterMunkyon June 15, 2010 at 10:47 a.m.
So is this a remake or a reboot? I thought it was a new reboot.
 
Also, this game will probably be pretty average.

Not impressed. I'm not a fan of the new "takedown" things. This looks a lot like Call of Duty: In the Facility. The graphics look shockingly similar for something that is supposed to be a remake rather than port. And last, but not least, Daniel Craig? Common.
ArchScabbyon June 15, 2010 at 10:48 a.m.
This looks bad.  FPS's don't play or look good on the wii.  They should stick to more stylized games like Epic Mickey, or Donkey Kong (which I think looks awesome)

Maybe the first good shooter for Wii? Or maybe not.
