Rumor: More evidence of Perfect Dark XBLA surfaces

by David Hinkle on May 1st 2009 3:30PM

Remember that rumor from yesterday involving Forza 3? Well, at that same get-together in Brazil, someone apparently snapped an image of a game listing for Perfect Dark on XBLA and sent it to Destructoid. The image itself looks legit, and features the same thumbnail Rare had leaked back in early April.

That's where the story ends. This one lone image is all we have to go on right now, but based on Rare bringing its other N64 titles -- Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie -- to XBLA, we're confident that this won't be the last time we hear about the game.

$100 wifi adapter? If you want to pay over the odds for an unreliable official adapter, go for it.

Any cheap and cheerful wireless ethernet bridge will do the the same thing, only better.

The HDDs and Live subs can also be found cheaper if you shop around.

That's it, the sharks are out. You both better stay away from water! :-D

OMFG I hope this is true. Perfect Dark for N64 is one of the best shooters out there, and the multiplayer for it back then was way ahead of its time. This, in addition to Xbox Live games like BattleField 1943 is making me extremely happy.

Perfect Dark 2 doesn't even come CLOSE to living up to the game, but if this is true I hope there is online multiplayer and a ranking system, I'll simply rape all. I have so much time put into my N64 version of Perfect Dark I have the top rank in multiplayer. :P

Would love to see some other games like Shenmue 1 be put on XBL but I doubt that will ever happen.

Why wouldn't Shenmue 1 come to XBLA? Shenmue 2 came out on the original Xbox and Sega enjoy bringing their classics to Arcade.....I for one cross my fingers that it does arrive (even if I do still have it on my DC)!

I can't believe it, TOWER BLOXX is coming to XBLA!!!

now THAT was funny.

Sadly I found that more exciting than the idea of playing PD on XBLA.

You can play PD with two N64 controllers for that dual analog setup. It plays much better. You can also emulate it and use a 360 controller where N64 controller 1 is the left analog and N64 controller 2 is the right analog. It's a little sketchy, but it works much better than the c buttons.

In any case, I would wait for the remake. The graphics are a little worn at this point and I'm sure they'll tighten up the controls for the 360 controller. If it looks anything like the leaked Goldeneye screens, it should look pretty nice.

This news is the shit. I was just talking today about how great an xbla PD would be.
