GoldenEye 007 is a "re-imagining" of the original N64 game, developed by Eurocom for the Nintendo Wii console and revealed by Activision on 14 June 2010. It uses a modified version of the engine used for Dead Space: Extraction.
Background[]
GoldenEye 007 Wii Trailer - E3 2010
Unlike the shelved remake for Xbox Live Arcade which was a high-definition remake, this game is a full-scale "re-imagining" of the game which includes no elements of the original. Daniel Craig's likeness is used for Bond, rather than Pierce Brosnan, who played Bond in the GoldenEye film. The game features new mechanics such as iron sights when aiming and various new melee attacks. It is more plot-heavy than the original game, with cutscenes and QTE-based gameplay being featured in many levels.
The game features motion-based controls for aiming and context action, with an alternative, more traditional console FPS control scheme using the Wii classic controller. The game's missions are based on the ones from the original game and the plot primarily follows the game's lines rather than the film's, such as having Bond present at Severnaya. Some missions are based on multiple missions (for example, Cradle is a hybrid of Control and Cradle) based on a mission they are not named after (Bunker is based on Silo) or are completely new (Nightclub).
Multiplayer[]

The game also features an 8-Player Online Multiplayer mode that includes XP progression and unlockables.
Characters[]
The game features many multiplayer characters. While many of them are simple generic henchmen, the following are the important ones:
- James Bond
- Natalya Simonova
- Alec Trevelyan
- Xenia Onatopp
- Arkady Ourumov
- Valentin Zukovsky

Features[]
Due to the complete re-imagining of the popular Nintendo 64 title, the Wii release has had many major changes which set it apart from the original release.
Levels have been redesigned and the story re-written for the present day and the new actor to portray James Bond. Likewise, the game features modern game design techniques to coincide with other modern first person shooters, such as destructible environments, online multiplayer, statistic tracking, and "perks/accolades".
Eurocom has added items and also updated items that were in the original game. For instance, instead of the watch, players will now use a mobile cell phone to scan documents, take photos, and communicate with MI6. The original GoldenEye 007 featured a cheat menu, Eurocom confirmed the return of the cheat menu, "with all the classic cheats returning". They even included "DK mode (Big Head Mode)" via a new cheat code. This game is one of a few Wii games to allow use of several different control schemes.
This game can be played with Wii Remote with Nunchuk, Wii Zapper, Classic Controller, Classic Controller Pro, and the Nintendo GameCube controller. (You can even use a third-party peripheral to play with an original N64 controller.) Each player can play with a different control scheme simultaneously.
Weapons[]
In singleplayer Bond can carry three weapons; one is always a P99, while the other two can be any combination of the others that the player can pick up in the level. While it is possible to equip two of the same weapon with different attachments, it is not a good idea, since the both weapons will draw from the same pool of ammo and the max ammo cap will be the same as if the player had one weapon.
