What you need to know

  • GoldenEye 007 is a First-Person Shooter developed by Rare for Nintendo 64, based on the 1995 James Bond movie, GoldenEye.
  • A list of Xbox achievements has been leaked for Goldeneye 007, hinting at a possible Xbox release for the classic title.

Back in 1997, the videogame developer Rare, known for classic titles such as Donkey Kong Country, Banjo Kazooie, Killer Instinct, Battletoads, Sea of Thieves, and Conker's Bad Fur Day, released a videogame tie-in to the James Bond franchise — GoldenEye 007. It was a First-Person Shooter released for the Nintendo 64, and it is based on the 1995 James Bond movie, GoldenEye. This game was critically acclaimed for pushing the graphical capabilities of the Nintendo 64, its intuitive gunplay and stealth gameplay, and a competitive four-player deathmatch mode that was ahead of its time.

Now it appears the classic title will be coming to Xbox consoles as an Xbox Backwards Compatibility port. On New Year's Day, a list of Xbox achievements had shown up on TrueAchievements for GoldenEye 007 along with several art assets (via Wario64).

While this is most likely a direct port of the original game rather than a remaster, Xbox has been known to use enhancement tech like FPS Boost to improve older games in the past.

Could this all result in more collaboration efforts between Microsoft and Nintendo? It would sense considering that Rare's Banjo and Kazooie appeared as guest characters in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, and their namesake title is now available on the Nintendo Switch. Not to mention that 2022 will be marking GoldenEye 007's 25th anniversary, so now would be the perfect time to bring it back for modern audiences and celebrate its legacy. It undoubtedly would be a worthy additition to the Xbox's massive library of backwards compatible titles and Xbox Game Pass. We'll be sure to update you if and when (most likely when) this goes official.
