What in the loving god are they doing? 
 
You can yell at me all you want for wearing some nostalgia goggles but they're butchering a classic. I was reading this article just now and am outraged. They're changing story now? Can the evilness be stopped? I want me some Oddjob and Jaws aswell.  Not to mention they're changing around some levels. I know to not just expect a carbon copy game but this is all sounding like a Call of Duty clone now. Perks and whatnot.  
 
The only saving grace is 4 player split screen, but if thats in altered levels and no insane advantage with Oddjob then I don't think I want to take part in it which makes me sad as I have all these fond memories.

Go play the original Goldeneye 007. It's really bad by todays standards. Pretty graphics don't make it better.

They should have gone to a system where they could make it look great and have online mutliplayer.
 
After seeing what it looks like, and the changes, I dont know how anyone can be excited.

Well, I thought it looked really cool in the E3 trailer... So you could say that I'm optimistic about it. Let's face it. Goldeneye N64 doesn't hold up to today's standards by any means, so I'm glad they're trying to update it. Just don't expect it to be as amazing as Goldeneye 64 was back in it's day, because that's not gonna happen.

The xbox arcade version is NOT the wii version

Its 2010.  Perks and stuff are just a new standard.  
 
And judging from all your whining, it totally is just you looking through rose-tinted glasses.  Despite saying otherwise, you ARE asking for nothing but a carbon-copy.  "Altered levels?!  No insane advantage for Oddjob?!"  Yeah... that's called BALANCING.  Good games do stuff like that, I don't know if you heard....  And of course they're changing the story.  It's called an update, genius.  Suck it up and just play the N64 version if you're going to be all butthurt they aren't just porting the N64 version, choppy ugly frame for choppy ugly frame.  Holy shit...

Way to show 'em 3 and a half months after he posted the topic. "

It's a fucking GREAT game. I'm honestly surprised at how damned good it is

I thought we didn't agree with Alex's reviews or doesn't that matter when he gives a Wii game a positive review?

They changed the gameplay mechanics because the original mechanics haven't aged well and they can't release the same game as Rare owns the original level designs etc. It doesn't matter that Nintendo has the licence, as Rare are now working will MS and they won't agree to pass over the materials for the original game. It's impossible for Nintendo to re-release the original game when they don't own it. 
 
Oh, and MGM is involved in this as well as they own the film.
