GoldenEye Remaster finally coming to Xbox Game Pass and Switch

For England, James.

It has been the legal fight of the century - so to speak-, but Goldeneye, the classic first-person shooter, released in 1997 by Rare Studio, the maker of Killer Instinct on Nintendo 64 is coming to the Xbox Game Pass and The Nintendo Switch on January 27, 2023.

The original cast of GoldenEye (circa 1995)

I really wanted to share my excitement as Goldeneye was the game I sought back in the late 90s, but unluckily I owned a PlayStation back then - and I was really looking forward to getting the Nintendo 64 as the title was exclusive to the console. The title was seen as the most influential game of the year as it demonstrated the viability of the genre on a home console instead of a PC. In fact, Goldeneye became the DeFacto first-person shooter of the Late 90s as the title paved the way to other FPS that came after it in early 2000, like Halo and the Call of Duty series.

The Xbox version of Goldeneye 007 will feature the same single-player campaign based on the James Bond movie and the split-screen multiplayer mode that supports up to 4 players. “It also offers a few key additions for a modern audience, including alternative control options, achievements to unlock, and native 16:9 resolution up to 4K Ultra HD

For those who were living under the rock, Goldeneye 007 was released in 1997 only on Nintendo 64 and was created by inexperienced people who had no prior knowledge of gaming and programming. It went on to become the fastest-selling FPS of all time. Its spiritual successor The Perfect Dark was released in 2000.

2023 seems a promising year. Can't wait to grab a copy of Goldeneye.

Table of Contents

if you are lost in the plethora of articles I have written about Microsoft and the evolution of Windows, worry no more. I have created this beautiful non-exhaustive Table of Contents or ToC for short that will be updated regularly.

As you may notice, the chart below is presented in an unchronological order as the site is still a work in progress. In the final version of the ToC, the Pilot Article entitled "The Race to the Cyberspace" will remain on the top of the list highlighted in light green. I wrote it while doing research here and there about the history of computing and the evolution of Windows.

Thanks for reading.
