News: "For England, James?" "No, for Wii."

James Bond has been the star of multiple video games over the years. But in the end, every game starring 007 is always compared to Rare's GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64.

This Fall, a more direct comparison will be made as Activision is bringing GoldenEye 007 to the Wii in a brand new remake. Developed by Eurocom (the UK developer who made the EA Bond games), this GoldenEye will feature everything that made the N64 original great including four-player splitscreen play. New to the Wii version will be eight-player online play and a Wii Zapper mode.
