It isn't the leaked XBLA version but the N64 version, also, there is no mention of online play for the Xbox version.

That would be idiotic to not include online play on the console that’s most synonymous with online play lol. Bummer it’s the original version upscaled. The game hasn’t aged very well lol

So, instead of the better leaked XBLA version, it's the N64 version.

Also, Nintendo has the online as an exclusive perk.

Exclusive to the new Switch version of the 1997 title will be online play, allowing 007 fans across the world to take part in the popular four person multiplayer mode.

Lol...Guess this is the price that Microsoft paid to get Nintendo's permission to release it.

Daaaaaaamn what a kick in the nuts at least local multiplayer will still be there

I don't know. I mean they are saying "version of 1997 title"... I feel like it is exclusives to this version (and why they specified it); I expect the GamePass version to have online but it is not a 1997 version (it is a remake if I'm not mistaken). 

May be wrong but the wording def. is open for that.



as if you want to match up with die hards who played the xbla as much as graslu00

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Rare employee on Twitter confirmed it isn't the XBLA version.

Plus, nowhere on any Xbox PR is online play mentioned.

It's a port of the N64 version.

What looks like happened is that we know that Xbox needs Nintendo's permission to release it, likely Nintendo blocked the 360 graphical enhancements and online play for Xbox so they have closer graphical parity and an extra perk, for Microsoft it's that or they can't release it at all.

We've known that Nintendo has been blocking Microsoft for years now too.

Sad but true. Nintendo knows how important Goldeneye is in gaming history and they want to have the main benefits. 

I doubt there was ever going to be actual matchmaking developed for this lol. Even with NSO, online play is only between friends.

"a consistent refresh rate"

That wording, Lmao. Probably not even 60fps or locked 30fps.

Also doesn't seem like you can buy it from the Xbox Store? Only available through Game Pass or Rare Replay?

Some shitty stuff from Nintendo, NGL.

Ah well.

Nintendo not wanting Microsoft to get an indefinite amount of revenue from this I guess? Just a single up front payment.

Damn it Nintendo! Why does there need to be a caveat for such an important release?!

Roblox has better online shooters than Goldeneye. Change my mind.

No arguments from me. As much as I loved Goldeneye as a kid, I'm not holding back that the game has aged like fine milk BUT, at least the control scheme will be modernized lol
