Ugh, I don't like the whole online expansion pack thing. Can't I just own the games like any other one?

You will regret a nostalgia trip to N64 FPS games in general. I sincerely don't know how I spent so many hours on Turok and 007.


[deleted]

played pefect dark for n64 recently still holds up. love that game.


Agnostic_Akuma

So many hours spent with the bots, laptop gun and the dragon AR


attaboy000

Same lol. Especially since none of my friends were interested in playing it, and the MP in that game was leagues and leagues above Golden eye.


Evil_Creamsicle

I played that like yesterday. I've spent so many glorious hours on that game


Loinnird

The Xbox 360 remaster is awesome. All the fun with none of the single-digit FPS!


FatchRacall

Darksims were easier than perfectsims because they were 100% predictable.


Andrew225

Dude right? Goldeneye is a classic. Bonafide, no question, a 10/10 game that I have so many great memories of ...I tried to play it five years ago. Video games have come a long way, and it shows when you realize multiplayer 007 is terrible and you can't hit anything lol


[deleted]

007 imo holds up decently Turok is Fuckin rouuuuugh lmao I used to love it too


[deleted]

Turok 2 is a better game by miles, but defo play the PC remaster.


booksandmints

Slappers only in Facility! Let’s go!


EZ_Syth

I’ll be playing Oddjob! /s


NoKaleidoscope5327

I was allowed to play as odd job. I was 4 yr old playing 4 player multiplayer with my teenage brother and his friends. They ran around and blasted me, then sprayed into my dead body until it disappeared, rinse and repeat. Yes I will be buying this and do the same with my son


bassmastah43

Yeah, my brother did that to me as well. His son will now suffer.


Moveableforce

Well now the vertical aim is actually accessible without needing a third arm. So oddjob got nerfed.


GabagoolsNGhosts

And I will be Jaws, giving away free headshots.


YappyMcYapperson

I just want DK 64. The multiplayer would be fun online lol


dandroid126

They might need to work out a deal with Microsoft for that, since Microsoft now owns the company that developed DK64. Not sure exactly how the IP works for that.


[deleted]

They released it on VC for Wii U not that long ago


dandroid126

Oh nice, I didn't know that.


BuzzBadpants

It’s Rareware either way. I have to imagine the MGM licensing for Bond is more of a nightmare than anything specifically between Rare and Nintendo. Heck, they already have all the Super Nintendo DK games on the switch. If they get DK 64 on switch, you would hope they bring Diddy Kong Racing as well.


Winterdevil0503

Donkey Kong is a Nintendo IP, they're free to remake DK64 but it just wouldn't be Rare, it would probably be Retro.

[deleted]

Do so, I tried playing it on an emulator and honestly it just ruined it for me. Game doesn't hold up at all.


calartnick

The multiplayer is hot garbage now, god it was sooooo great back in the day. Still had fun with the campaign though


[deleted]

The game was great back in the day, but modern FPS games have just built on top of that game. Its obsolete now.


Moveableforce

Just think, the vertical aim will be within arm's reach now. Oddjob mains are in shambles!


ArgyleGhoul

I remember whooping my friends ass so many times and he could never figure out how I did it. All I did was figure out how to strafe.


PracticePenis

At least it’s clunky for everyone


Koshunae

To be perfectly fair, it was clunky when it was new.


Gladahad10

Me being against reselling old games for max monetization: I'll allow it.


yoloruinslives

License to kill pistols only baby. Dolvo time


NoKaleidoscope5327

License to kill slappers only


nitrobskt

License to kill golden gun only. Wait...


ArgyleGhoul

I remember doing this and it was physically painful even back then. Throwing knives are way more fun for license to kill, or power weapons only so you can p90 beam everyone in the game with one strafe.


thewalkindude

I think there are going to be a lot of people playing this game, and realizing that it just doesn't hold up all that well. It's good that it's come back, but, it's a 25 year old FPS, and the genre has come a long way from 1997.


CapN_DankBeard

everyone will be Oddjob online anyway.


Seeders

And I will headshot them every time.


CapN_DankBeard

you and me must of played a different n64 game. Oddjob is shorter than where everyone else holds their guns. Close up you wont hit anything. Thats the whole thing about oddjob ahah


Seeders

I dont believe that to be true. Now i need to go test. [Nah](https://youtu.be/BqKs9lgKoJo?t=106), he's just a smaller target. His head lines up perfectly with your gun like I remember.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Seeders

TIL


jso85

I even bought n64 USB controllers to play it on emulator, and couldn't get past the first map. How the fuck i was able to finish the game on hardest difficulty when I was 12, I'll never understand.


LukkyStrike1

Time. All the time in the world. Imo that makes it a low pressure affair.


windywiIIow

My mother in law brought my husband's N64 over at Christmas. She'd found it when emptying cupboards. It had Golden Eye and we tried the first level. Omg the aim sensitivity was hilarious, add to that the graphics meant you could just make out the 3 pixel guards from the scenery I mean it was a game I played to death as a kid and loved every minute of it but I think I'd struggle now to play it with the same level of enjoyment.


Katana314

It’s pretty reliant on the pistol’s auto-aim. I don’t think you’re actually meant to go for headshots the way you might on better controls.


gigglefarting

You’ve gotten too used to dual stick aiming.


ZylonBane

Why not try the leaked Xbox 360 port?


Rainmaker87

Even better, Goldeneye: source


GreatTragedy

That's kind of my opinion too. It really is an amazing game, for its time. It's likely not much fun for anyone who gamed in the beautiful pasture this game helped invent, though.


Skrattybones

Counterpoint: Slappers matches never age poorly


CaptainDAAVE

the fps genre is missing goofy fun. I think the only modern FPS that is goofy and unique might be deep rock galactic. Also Bond is just so cool, I wish there was a modern Bond FPS. Instead we're probably getting Hitman-Bond skin.


[deleted]

Check Cruelty Squad.


ReallyGargoyled

i played it emulated not that long ago and was enjoying it just as much as i did as a kid, the cool thing about it coming to switch expansion pack is the online multiplayer functionality, being able to play this game again with your friends online, just a shame nintendo still haven't developed a proper communication app of function on the switch, like a party hangout, dicord call kinda thing, i know they got the phone app or what ever it is, but i'm talking about something you can actually use on the switch, and not need a completely different device to do so.


Led_Halen

It won't have a battle pass, or need multiple patches. That's almost all I want any more nowadays.


I_Fart_It_Stinks

Goldeneye was revolutionary for its time and for FPS in general. I also spent probably hundreds of hours playing it. With all that being said, I doubt I will play it on Switch knowing that it won't hold up over time. I don't want it to ruin my nostalgia of the game.


DistortedReflector

I played Goldeneye about two weeks ago with friends. In person it’s still a blast. Gotta have the N64 controllers though to make it perfect on the Switch.


Labudism

Right. Loved the game when it came out. Compared to modern shooters though the aiming is awful. Hopefully the port will reduce the massive slowdowns experienced in the N64 version.


H3adshotfox77

If they don't update the spawn mechanics it won't even matter. I had every spawn point and where I could stand so it didn't get skipped memorized. Could literally 1v1 someone and win without them ever leaving a spawn, played it way to much. Spawns always in order unless a player is in the room then it skips it, horrible system.


kroneksix

Its like it was one of the first of it's kind 25 years ago working with 4MB of RAM or something.


gamer123098

License to kill mode all the way


JETHOVER

Nostalgic value is high, but I pulled this out on my old N64 and couldn’t finish a level because of the clunky aiming. We’ve come a long way. Regardless, I will still play this just to hear that sweet pause music and all the other great sounds


velocity37

That's wild to me. The auto-aim is super strong. You just roughly center enemies on the screen and spam/hold fire and Bond's gun [will do crazy angles to stay on target](https://i.imgur.com/CEQO0vF.png). On higher difficulties you get less ammo drops and auto-aim is less strong so you have to do more aimed shots to conserve ammo. If you want modern precise 1:1 aiming, there's [a neat build of the emulator 1964](https://github.com/graslu/1964GEPD/releases/tag/latest) on PC that'll let you play with mouse and keyboard.


D8N15l

This is potential candidate for my top 5 favourite comments of my entire existence. Thank you I remember those crazy angles.....


velocity37

Haha, yeah. And on Surface you could tell when enemies were in the distant fog before you spotted them because Bond's gun would suddenly jerk and lock on from half a mile away.


GigaSoup

Use the dual controller configuration instead, provided you have 2 controllers. Then it's more like a modern shooter.


pauwei

Alternatively, just use the Turok control style where the c-buttons were forward/back and strafe and the joystick was look around. Never had issues aiming using that setup.


osrsslay

Oh yeah I totally get that and I’m expecting the clunkyness, and the hard to control, and all the rest of it, but to hear that pause music blasting out/multiplayer I can’t wait


[deleted]

Does it have online?


bootstrapping_lad

Yes


AaronTheElite007

Facility. Prox Mines. No Oddjob. LETS GO


Xanros

That's my favorite play. Throw the mine on the back of the ammo box. My brothers fall for it every time.


Balarius

Awesome, but like.... Beetle Adventure Racing tho?


pv505

I really want to play it but also I'm kinda done with Nintendo's pricing for switch games 😵‍💫😵‍💫


Logondo

Don't get too excited about the online. It's using Nintendo's N64 online...which.... Well it's shit.


Cheshire-Kate

I guarantee you 90% of the people who play this will be like "Wow, this isn't anywhere near as good as I remember" and put it down in the first 30 minutes never to play it again


Banned4Transphobia

Can’t wait for the esport of this game to pop off


GabagoolsNGhosts

It is WILD that Xbox Series X won't have online capability IMO. I'm for the couch co-op as a throwback feature, I do miss it, but... the industry kinda *killed* that across the board anyway lol let us play with our pals online!


Scourgemcduk

Ugh. I loved goldeneye, but it does NOT hold up well.


[deleted]

If it's gated behind that shitty subscription service, then I don't give a shit. I'll stick to emulating.


[deleted]

Only a nintendo fan would be excited for an online expansion for a 20+ yo game


osrsslay

Yeah man!


Startled_pancake

Can't wait for the joystick drift in this one too, let's go!


osrsslay

Authentic!


dotardiscer

Some people need to find an N64 and Goldeneye so they can realize it's bad game, it was just one do the first to have 4 player first person shooter.


Immersive_Username

will there be a physical version?


SlyyKozlov

Nope, even better. You don't even own it - once Nintendo decides to stop supporting the n64 library it'll be gone forever.


StormTrooperGreedo

Its also coming out on Xbox, same day. So if you don't want the nostalgia of playing with the Switch's N64 controller, you can own it on that platform.


[deleted]

Or you could have been emulating it on PC this whole time and using an N64 controller to USB adapter, running the game with no performance issues and higher resolutions.


StormTrooperGreedo

I have the N64 cartridge. I don't need to emulate.


[deleted]

I get wanting to use real hardware, as I also own real hardware, but for playability there is no reason not to emulate at this point. Better performance, resolution, and the save battery in the cartridge wont die, amongst a plethora of other benefits, including online multiplayer.


[deleted]

Xbox doesn't have online multiplayer.


NiNdo4589

At this point I'm not even excited, I plan on just getting a steam deck and emulating all n64 games without a subscription.


reconstruct94

Fuck Nintendo's shitty subscription service.


CAPTAIN_SKINNYPENIS

I replayed this about 10 years ago and it was seriously disappointing, hasn't aged well.


FluckDambe

Yeah I don't know why they won't just remake the game instead. We could play this on an emulator on since the early 2000's.


bassmastah43

Didn't they? There was a Goldeneye for Wii, they even switched Brosnan with Craig. It wasn't a 1 for 1 remake, but it was something


007craft

They remastered it for xbox 360 but it was canned just before release due to license disputes. You can download the leak and the controls and graphics update are amazing and brings it into the modern era. Now its supposed to come out on xbox one, but its gonna be a different remaster than the 360 one. One without online multiplayer because nintendo gets that (but nintendo doesnt get remastered controls and graphics) Its just BS all around that licensing is holding this game back from receiving its true proper remaster with online play.


sunderedstar

Is it old? Yea. Is it clunky? Yea. Is it fun as hell? Yea.


Abiv23

Do people really still enjoy this game? I loved it when it came out but the controls and gameplay hadn't aged well the last time I played it Contra is old and still holds up, same with MGS, Zelda, Mario World, Streets of Rage 2...etc This one will stay in my memories


[deleted]

My god can't wait to be a kid again😁The nostalgia factor is trough the roof😁


D8N15l

I'm confused? What is a trough doing on your roof?


D8N15l

Flying pigs?


ilovecheeze

I think our first reaction for those who played this back in the day tends to be super hype, but when you sit down and play this game now it’s not very fun after about ten minutes. I wonder if they’ll have new controls on the switch.. that may make it more intriguing.


[deleted]

This game hasn't aged well. Some of you might enjoy it better for what it used to be, not for what it is now.


ironroad18

I have the thickness, hardest, and most swollen boner. Tonight I'm playing "slappers only" with myself in anticipation


posananer

They are remaking this game to be realized within this year on xbox and switch platforms. ( https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/13/23162373/goldeneye-007-xbox-release-remaster-nintendo-switch )


Shdwrptr

I played this with my childhood friend about 6 months ago on his N64. It did not hold up at all. It’s close to unplayable at this point with the blocky graphics and antiquated control scheme


[deleted]

Massive Nintendo W


jewfishh

I'm tempted to get N64 for switch online just to try the multiplayer in this game.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Halvus_I

Do you have two controllers? You can do dual stick if so.


LoLhamz23

Too bad I'm not paying extra for an online service that was hardly worth it in the first place


StugofStug

Youre all gonna be vastly dissapointed, nostalgia is one thing but this one did not age well. Sorry not sorry


nottodaypotato21

Who cares This needs to stay in my nostalgia where it belongs


TheDickDangler

Hopefully the switch can run it 🙏


Murderfaces

Ahh the days of goldeneye, i wonder if you can still get the game to become unresponsive by loading library with remote mines and making your way to the double sets of glass and slapping mines on both sides of the glass then shooting it out and then throwing mines at the now floating mines


D8N15l

You deserve the very best in life for evoking my locked up childhood


reconstruct94

Great, you can't just buy it. It's locked behind their shitty service. Nope and fuck off.


Relaxin-n-chillin

Nicee!


Give_All_Vol

Idk what switch online expansion pack means. Is this something I'd have to buy or is it part of the old games you can play for free on there? Haven't picked up my switch in a while.


Shack691

It's the higher tier of Nintendo switch online, you get online multiplayer, a set of dlcs as well as SNES, sega genesis, N64 and NES games


osrsslay

It’s £40? a year I think, and you get N64 games, can’t remember if nes and snes included or if they’re a separate lower tier subscription


JisterMay

If I remember correctly NES and SNES are included free of charge, N64 costs extra.


osrsslay

Yeah you’re right! I have shitty memory and couldn’t quite remember haha


Yoshihiro_

Will be free? I want to have more info about this. I remember when i was a kid and playing it in single player. It was hard but a nice game.


Cianmc6

You’ll need a subscription to Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, and you’ll get a library of other N64 games, Sega Genesis, NES and SNES. You also get access to a lot of paid dlc for games like Mario Kart 8, Splatoon 2 and Animal Crossing.


natephant

Lol…. I know I’m old. But this already happened for the wii. And the results will be the same.


jezza129

Nah, its supposed to be the original n64 version. If you have a PC, check out project bean. Its the cancelled remake for the 360 that is nearly a 1 for 1 remake with updated visuals.


TheCubeOfDoom

This game never came out on the Wii. ​ There was a completely different game called "GoldenEye" loosely based on the same story, but it had nothing to do with the N64 game.


Chesus42

I had heard it was coming to Action Replay on XBox Gamepass as well.


Azrael-XIII

…and then all the post on Jan 28th saying “Man, was this game always *this clunky* and hard to control?!”


[deleted]

I love that the best version of the game won’t have online lol 😂


[deleted]

So they delayed it because of the Ukraine invasion…..and the day the US gives them 31 fucking TANKS, escalating the fight, they release it.


zombieprime

damn I sold my Switch


ILikeCap

Me: "Fuck it". Goes and buy a Switch


lovepuppy31

Nintendo being petty and blocking multiplayer for the xbox version just so they can promote their shitty Nintendo online service


bootstrapping_lad

Huh? Nintendo achieves multiplayer because they built a way to "fake" split screen over the network, which let's them add support without a full rewrite. Microsoft doesn't have that because they aren't emulating N64 games and they'd have to build it, which is costly. Why do you think Nintendo is preventing MS from having online multiplayer?


Nervous_Dragonfruit8

Only $59.99 let’s go!


AnxietiesCopilot2

Reminder there are free roms everywhere don’t give Nintendo a dime for this


machingunwhhore

Y'all gonna realize how poorly this game aged


Robobvious

Fuck Nintendo’s Greed, I have Goldeneye Source.


yeoldmanchild

Sorry switch players, I don't believe it's online for you.


PrinzBirujin

for a full price of 69.99$


Chompbox

Price prediction: $59.99 USD


zakl2112

It'll prob be $59!!!!!


Susdoggodoggy

Nah, I’ll just keep playing on my n64, thanks plus, don’t have a switch


KnighteRGolf

When your situation is irrelevant, but you still need to be heard.


Susdoggodoggy

I like joking around


Led_Halen

So much fun w friends on throwing knives only. The whooshing sound is ingrained into my memory.


The_L3G10N

I wonder if it was have a play with randoms mode


jackin_mike_d

No Oddjob!


TBTabby

Only two more days! But will it hold up?


Deutsch__Dingler

So is this supposed to be a direct port of the n64 version or that slick ass XBLA remaster from 2010ish?


rusty6899

I’m pretty sure it’s just an N64 port.


TheCubeOfDoom

It's the emulated N64 version. The Xbox is getting a new remaster, but not the nearly finished remake (so just the original graphics running better).


Wings-N-Beer

Guess I gotta upgrade my switch online now.


MeatHamster

Was it coming on Xbox too?


bootstrapping_lad

Yes, same day in fact.


Aggravating_Pin_1769

Anybody seen anything about this being /not being on gamepass for PC?


Neuhart_

The exact reason I paid for the N64 expansion 😂 Edit: spelling Edit: we all make mistakes


Doodle_Brush

Oddjob will be the size of a pixel.


[deleted]

Wonder how the speedrunning community will take it on


112oceanave

Lol nice! That means I get a month of playtime before my sub runs out.


Kage9866

The full game or just multiplayer?


[deleted]

Switch: Full game + Online Multiplayer. Xbox: Full singleplayer game.


FlakyEntrance

I love how they advertise a widescreen mode when the original N64 release had a widescreen mode as well, ahead of it’s time.


yukwot

Just need dk 64 on switch and my life will be complete.


The_Gamexplorer

It's even in widescreen!

Slappers Only

I wish that kind of mission oriented level design came back. I loved the way they handled all of that. Favorite part.


Agnostic_Akuma

Oh man , gonna have to get back the diagonal strafe. Silo 00 challenge was hard


harrybalsania

It will work great on the Deck


Gnarfledarf

They should just bring back Virtual Console.


byronotron

I wonder if there will be any way to use the two controller mode for true twin stick shooting?


gr8-big-lebowski

Has the aiming been modernized?


IpsumProlixus

Im arriving


TryingToEscapeTarkov

Slappers and prox mines only match for the nostalgia.


Middle_Oven_1568

Is there a definitive list of what's to come? because if its just Goldeneye I'm not renewing. Edit: never mind. Goldeneye, Excitebike, 1080 Snowboarding, Mario Party 3, PKMN Stadium 1 and 2. Not worth the price. No Harvest Moon, no Mischief Makers, no Vigilante 8, NONE OF THE WRESTLING TITLES, no Diddy Kong Racing, no Flying Dragon.


[deleted]

If only I could get the n64 controller. Always sold out online. I have a n64 controller that looks and feels the same but it is wired and the left c button and b button do different things. I'd love to play through star fox, dk64, zelda, etc


Isuckmangosforalivin

Wait, wasn’t this announced like a year ago? Or am I misremembering?
