Thanks to our friends at Nintendo-Evolved.Com, we have some new information on GoldenEye for the Nintendo DS, in development over at Electronic Arts. Apparently, the game will indeed be based off the N64 classic first-person shooter, and will be exclusive to the Nintendo DS. In this version of the game, players will be able to engage in Wireless WiFi multiplayer, with a limit of between 8 and 16 players. It is said that the game is looking great from a graphical stand point, and will even do a bit of innovation for the dual-screen...When will we find out official details around GoldenEye on the Nintendo DS? We don't know, but for now, we're thanking Nintend-Evolved.

I'd much rather the original Goldeneye team handled it, but they're all over the place so that's not gonna happen! Maybe if EA approached Free Radical or Zoonami and let them make it I'd be a lot more optimistic! Still, this has the potential to sell DS's!!!!

Hmm...IGN's reporting that EA actually confirmed this would be a direct port of the N64 version with some DS enhancements...hmm...

How about the touch screen for weapon selection?
Post by: odifiend on August 26, 2004, 04:46:50 AM
Well the multiplayer, the feature that MADE GE, tends to be a lot weaker. Especially the newest bond game. Jebus, why would you do that to us?
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 26, 2004, 11:48:03 AM
This port will have special additions to the game to take advantage of the DS's special features and will support 16 player support w/ rumors of online support also.
If this is true then I will definately be an early adopter of the DS, probably picking it up on the day it comes out.

Okay, maybe they managed to strike a deal with Nintendo, but considering Golden Eye: Rogue Agent (and the lengths to which they went to justify that title) that's unlikely. Thinking "It's Golden Eye, what could go wrong?" is like a CDi owner thinking "It's The Legend of Zelda, what could go wrong"?

I wouldn't compare having a new Goldeneye on a Nintendo system made by EA, to a zelda game on a phillips system made by Animation Magic, Inc. for a basis analogy.
On another note I just read that Rare infact doesn't have rights to the Goldeneye material, but rather Nintendo does. And that EA is possibly working with Nintendo to make the remake.

When it involves comparing EA's Bond efforts and Rare's, and Ninty's Zelda games and AM's, yes it IS a good analogy... ^_^

LOL are you kidding me?! The EA Bond games weren't as good as GE by Rare, but they weren't bad games either. I guess you never played them, and are just using your predisposed opinion, which is, that you hate EA. While Goldeneye was a 9.5, the EA Bond games were respectable 8's.
On the otherhand while the Zelda games made by Nintendo are 9.5's, the Animation Magic, Inc. Zelda games are a 1, if that.

And another big news to this is OMFGERZ EA is actually making a exclusive game (Besides the PC games before they hit the console scene and the GBA games such and such). I think Nintendo participated to make this is to hamper the PSP sales especially if they see "THE GREAT N64 TITLE REBORN" on the game box.

Nope, that doesn't apply to what the argument was, it wasn't personal opinion but rather commonly known opinions of the majority. I'm not surprised though because you always try to twist things around in some manner if possible.

Well one of my nicks isn't "Red Fox" for nothing...*has no idea what you're talking about*
While I'm out here, I might as well be controversial and say I despise the Final Fantasy series as well...Every game since 7 has been getting 9+/10, and it sells like hotcakes...So? Does that mean I should buy it? Not if I hate it! To me, my opinion > everyone else's...That's something you can't take away, no matter how many links from Gamerankings you throw in my face...

*Nods head*
joeamis, it's a forum for crying out loud. People are allowed to express their opinions. Personally, I don't give a crap about EA's silly James Bond games either. Generic run-of-the-mill levels with an annoying Pepsi Max attitude thrown in for good luck.
MUST CENSOR THE INTERNET!

Eh I never mentioned Gamerankings, anyways your personal opinion has no bearing on the previous issue, so I dunno why you mentioned it other than to vent your hatred of EA. I wouldn't expect you to buy FF games either because you're a little counter mainstream- mainstream gamer.

Ehhhhhhh? I don't buy games for the sake of buying them or not buying them...I don't dislike Final Fantasy because most people do like them...Accusing me of acting so is assinine...

as far as Xenosaga (Namco), it has more combat time than alot of rpgs out there, and a better combat system than the majority. personally, it's my favorite rpg, with chrono trigger in 2nd, and final fantasy tactics ps1 in third.

Ogre: I'm fully expecting SE to pull PSP support if the DS sells better. They're just not sure which one's going to win so they're currently supporting both.

Chao: While maybe faster (depending on your internet connection downloading might be faster than going to a store, we're not talking about gigabyte downloads), physical expansion packs are too expensive (DS games cost 35 USD, a GBA cart costs about 10-15 USD just for manufacturing, add a profit margin and you end up with 25-30 USD, almost as much as a full game) and unhandy. Unless the data is downloaded from the GBA cart and stored on the DS cart, you'll always have to carry around two carts of different sizes when playing an expanded game. Even worse when there are more than one expansion available. With an MMO you'd definitely have more than one expansion so you'd need to store them on the DS cart, could just as well download them from the internet instead of a GBA cart.

That would be cool, it would be made easier that you got a cursor/stylus now too. But, it would probably have to be done something like the TimeSplitters 2 Map Editor that's included with the game :\

Completely.
On topic however, I recognize EA as being very capable games makers. Tho they are really pushing to fuse the cinematic experience and I could generally care less about that.
Im making a guess and saying the Goldeneye DS design team is gonna play a crapload of N64 Goldeneye and try to bring the best parts of that game's multiplayer into this DS game.
