Classic Goldeneye 007 receives a remake for the Nintendo Wii

It was the precursor to many of today's first person shooters and set the standard that would define games to come but a decade or so after it's original release, Activision are giving it the remake treatment as the classic Goldeneye 007 returns exclusively to the Nintendo Wii.

Developed exclusively for Wii and based on the GoldeneEye film, GoldenEye 007 gives players the chance to use the lethal, gritty style of Daniel Craig's James Bond to outwit, outmaneuver and overtake an arms syndicate that threatens the world in an innovative, modern take on the legendary GoldenEye movie adventure.

"GoldenEye for the N64 was one of the most acclaimed games and fans regularly cite it as one of the most influential and important titles in history," said David Pokress, Head of Marketing for Licensed Properties, Activision Publishing. "We're thrilled to bring the new GoldenEye 007 to gamers around the world as an all-new adventure that seamlessly integrates nostalgic GoldenEye movie moments with innovative FPS gameplay and unique multiplayer action that is unrivaled on the platform."

GoldenEye 007 features an unprecedented lineup of four-player split-screen MP options that encourage social gaming, including 40 total characters, 8 classic Bond characters, 5 maps, 3 standard modes and 16 special modifiers that allow gamers to create hundreds of game combinations. GoldenEye 007 also features online multiplayer for up to 8 players designed for seasoned FPS online gamers with unique modes and a robust XP system for unlockables and achievements. GoldenEye 007 also supports the Classic Controller Pro for gamers who want to play with standard FPS controls and the Wii Zapper for "point and shoot" gamers; players will have several control scheme options, allowing them to experience GoldenEye 007 on Wii any way they want.

Being developed by Eurocom, the game is set to launch this holiday season.
