GoldenEye 64 Wii-make revealed, see Craig's Bond in action

by Griffin McElroy on Jun 14th 2010 9:05PM

Earlier today, IGN posted a trailer for the oft-rumored remake of the classic Nintendo 64 shooter, GoldenEye. (You've probably heard of it. You very probably spent many of your youthful nights playing it until you fell asleep.) The game is being ported exclusively to the Wii, and has received a fairly noticeable facelift during its transformation. That is to say, a figurative facelift (it's prettier!) and a literal facelift, as Pierce Brosnan has transmogrified into current Bond actor, Daniel Craig.

IGN's trailer has been pulled down by Activision, but a few wise GoldenEye fans managed to capture it while it was still up. You can check out a copy of the trailer posted after the jump. Don't worry -- we're sure any missing details will be provided in the coming, megaton-filled days.

So many reasons for me to buy a Wii right now.....

and I guess I understand why they put Craig in, but it does take away somewhat from the nostalgia factor.

not enough for me to not want to buy it mind you, but some.

They better not screw up Famke Janssen!

Wait, this is on Wii, I can't play it...

THey better not screw Famke Janssen!

Well, I seem to remember one of the ad campaigns for Quantum being that it was the best Bond game since Goldeneye, and I thought, We'll see about that! And then I pick it up and it's complete garbage.

I'm going to be honest. I will be mildly offended, personally, if this game is anywhere near as terrible as that abomination.

why are people talking about the actors? does anyone believe that ge64 would have been unsuccessful without brosnan? is there any hope for a pd wiimake?

GOLDENEYE IS AN EYE TAT IS GOLDEN!

Not that any of you KIDS would get that joke.

That mode would be pure sex. Though, who'd want to play as anyone other than Connery?

I'm not much for Craig but I think he did a better job than Brosnan. In fact, his stunt of jumping off the cliff to catch a plane turned me off of the Bond films a bit. Sure Bond is supposed to be over the top but really? REALLY?

The game was never about Brosnan. But about being the best Bond game ever made and having some of the best PvP ever brought into existence. If it keeps that, who cares who's playing Bond?

I know. I mean, the Wii? Really? Maybe now I can blow the dust off the system and get to using it again.The control schemes for FPS games on there are horrendous.

It's refreshing how they ape off 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' in that truck take over and rather nostalgic to see how DeAD Faced everybody was like the original too!
'Golden Eye' & 'Mario 64'~ the only two games truly worth purchase back in the day~
