Topic: Secret Goldeneye Level Discovered!

[WindyMan]

Dust off your N64 and dig out your GameShark.  You might want to see this.

While Planet GameCube is primarily a GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and next-generation Nintendo site, we find it hard to pass up the occasional juicy news story on some of Nintendo's previous systems.  This is no exception.

Through some GameShark hacking, someone has found an abandoned multiplayer level design for Goldeneye on the N64!

The Citadel level, forgotten lore in Goldeneye's history only known of because of a text reference to "CITADEL" in the game's memory, has finally been uncovered.

Here is Rareware's official answer regarding the existence of the level: "'Citadel' was a very rough test level designed during the early stages of multiplayer mode. It's not in the finished game in any shape or form, and Oddjob and Mayday wouldn't be in it if it was."

This is really interesting news, considering all the long-standing rumors that there has always been something else hidden deep inside of the N64 cartridge.  While this might not be what people were expecting, it's still pretty damn cool to see all of this stuff.

For the full explanation of Citadel, screens of the map and the GS codes to access it, click here.

Thanks to nintendofan for the tip!

It looks just like another level.  Only the "Citadel" looks like crap.  Someone here must know the names of the levels.

It seems to have the same tiles as the Complex, but it's been awhile so I'm not sure...

It's too bad all these cool stages were dropped from multi...The Cradle in multiplayer is so much fun...

[Lokno]

They found it!!!?? I hacked that game to death, how did they ever find it? I feel beaten...

Too bad my gameshark broke and I sold goldeneye.

[Polemistis]

I just tried it out ^^ You can't do much but its pretty neat to see

[ThePerm]

Man, that is just cool. Still secrets about Goldeneye, even after five years or so. JOY!

The fact EA are reviving this game makes me shudder, like someone resurrecting the dead.
