Forums - Gaming - Could We Finally Get GoldenEye 007 HD For Switch + XBox?

Now that MS and Nintendo are considerably more friendly these days, could we finally see the HD remake of GoldenEye 007 completed and released?

For those who don't know, during the Wii/XBox 360 era, MS/Rare did a upgraded version of GoldenEye 007 (the N64 classic) with HD graphics. Here's proof of it running no less:

The game had to be approved by both MS (owner of Rare) and Nintendo because of the way the original GoldenEye was setup (Nintendo was the publisher, but Rare owns the game code I believe). 

The game got canned because Nintendo did not agree that MS was going to get the HD version while Wii was only going to get the old N64 version. But now that Nintendo actually has an HD system, they could release the same HD game on both platforms and even have online crossplay between platforms. 

Plus I'm sure Nintendo would like to have the game for use on a future N64 Mini since the game is so heavily associated with the N64 and MS could agree to let them use the original in that way too.

Who has the Bond license nowadays?



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

That would be amazing!



why not bring it to the ps4 as well? microsoft also has a good relationship with sony.



This is what I wanted when the Wii was hot and even stated on these forums they should have done it.

Cross play 360 gamepad vs Wii pointer controls, imaging the fanboy wars that could have happened back then.

Which one would rain supreme traditional controls or motion controls.

Nintendo would have to approve that, and Nintendo says no :)

It's not like PS4 players can play with Microsoft or Nintendo anyway without crossplay, so why would either of them let Sony in on the fun



They would need Activision's approval as well I think. They own the James Bond license for games nowadays.

i was hoping they let sony gamers in on the fun out of the kindness of their heart.



Didn't the Wii remake get ported to 360?
