In 2010, during one of Nintendo's most successful E3's in recent years, [[Activision]] dropped this bombshell. A remake of the N64 classic ''[[GoldenGoldenEye Eye007 (1997 (Videovideo Gamegame)|GoldenEye]]''.
 
The story and setting have all been brought into the 21st century and the latest Bond, Daniel Craig, takes over the original Pierce Brosnan role. Considering Craig's 007 is a [[Darker and Edgier|darker, grittier]] agent, the overall tone of the game reflects this difference. As a result things like Alec Trevelyan's motivations have changed as the character's backstory involving a Lienz Cossack father would make him at least 71 years old and Valentin Zukovsky is no longer connected to the KGB.
Line 8:
Naturally, considering the original was groundbreaking ''[[Nostalgia Filter|15 years ago]]'', the gameplay has been significantly altered to reflect modern advancements in the FPS genre.
 
Heavily inspired by the much loved multiplayer of its predecessor, the game also features not only the classic four player split-screen gameplay of old but adds 8-player online to the experience. The multiplayer also includes 8 classic Bond characters ([[The Spy Who Loved Me (Film)|Ja]][[Moonraker (Film)|ws]], [[Live and Let Die (Filmfilm)|Baron Samedi]], [[Goldfinger (Film)|Oddjob]], [[The Man Withwith the Golden Gun (Film)|Francisco Scaramanga]], [[From Russia Withwith Love (Film)|Ernst ]][[Thunderball (Film)|Sta]][[You Only Live Twice (Film)|vro ]][[On Her Majesty's Secret Service (Film)|Blo]][[Diamonds Are Forever (Film)|feld]], [[From Russia Withwith Love (Film)|Red Grant, Rosa Klebb]], and [[Dr. No (Film)|Dr. No]]), several classic and brand new game modes, and even enhanced versions of classic multiplayer maps from the original game. a special edition of the game is also available with a "golden" Wii Classic Controller.
 
Recently, Activision announced that the game will have an [[Updated Rerelease]] in the form of the [[PSPlay Station 3]]/360 bound ''Goldeneye 007: Reloaded," though they were [[What Could Have Been|originally meant]] to be released alongside the Wii/DS version, but the latter versions were released first as a nod to the N64 version.

=== The Nintendo Wii game contains examples of: ===
Line 31:
* [[Die, Chair, Die!]]: Wouldn't be ''Goldeneye'' without it. The more advanced tech also allows for greater damage to the levels.
** Even the TRUCKS can be blown up if you shoot the conspicous fuel tanks! Invoking [[Every Car Is a Pinto]].
* [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him]]: {{spoiler|Zukovsky and Sky Briggs are killed merely over a minute after you meet them. And Ourumov is betrayed by Xenia rather than you having to take him out.}}
* [[Dynamic Loading]]
* [[Elite Mooks]]: Any mook wearing a flak jacket is going to be much harder to kill. They tend to have dark, ominous voices as well.
Line 52:
* [[Large Ham]]: A lot of the announcers act this way during online multiplayer. Zukovsky and Janus stand out.
* [[Mission Control]]: M.
** Also counts as [[The Voice]] during some multiplayer modes, bringing to mind [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|a certain Announcer]].
* [[More Dakka]]: The Vargen FH-7, successor of the infamous RC-P90 from Nintendo 64; though its magazine capacity has been reduced to the more realistic 50 rounds, it's still quite the bullet-hose.
** But it lacks the 'shoot through ten mooks in a row AND two steel blast door' power.
Line 58:
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: {{spoiler|the initial part of the last level. It almost doesn't make sense to have all those guards around while the place is breaking apart.}}
* [[Nostalgia Level]]: There are few small areas that are very reminiscent of the N64 game, the guard tower at very beginning of the game and the bathroom of the facility level.
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Averted in singleplayer but zig-zagged in multiplayer. Players are "eliminated" upon death, but during the Heroes gameplay mode [[The Voice|M]] will actually say "[[Our Hero Is Dead]]"!
** In Team Deathmatch multiplayer, when an MI-6 team is about to win, this is what [[The Voice|M]] says along the lines of "Never Give Up, Keep Trying, etc."
* [[Nobody Poops]]: Averted in the same scene/area as the movie and the original game. At least he's sitting down properly now.
