One of the most popular Nintendo 64 games of all time is finally getting ported to the Switch and Microsoft Xbox: GoldenEye 007.
This classic first-person shooter will soon be released on Xbox Game Pass and Nintendo Switch Online, giving modern players the chance to try out a truly iconic FPS.

For many millennial gamers, GoldenEye was their first ever shooter and was a mainstay of countless hours of 'couch coop' with friends.
Now younger generations of gamers will have the chance to experience its timeless gameplay—and aging graphics—along with the split-screen multiplayer.
Gamers young and old have shared their excitement at the release, which will also include online play.
One gamer, Gavin Stevens said: "It's always strange seeing the generational gap. To me, GoldenEye 64 multi was the s**t. It was just what we cool kids did, when we wasn't playing Quake, Unreal, C&C and stuff. It was the best FPS MP you could get on a console, and at the time the ease of it was just unmatched."
