Nintendo has just announced that GoldenEye 007, perhaps one of the most entertaining and popular shooters of all time, will finally be available for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members on January 27th, 2023. Nintendo revealed the release date in a new trailer celebrating the Nintendo 64 hit, showing off gameplay and the features fans can expect:

Nintendo has arguably struggled with its service compared to the Xbox Game Pass, but this level of nostalgia will definitely boost subscriptions. GoldenEye 007 has easily been one of the most anticipated titles to join Nintendo Switch Online.

It remains one of the defining games of the era, thanks to its stylish, innovative mechanics, which paved an entirely new course for the industry. GoldenEye 007 also happens to boast one of the best video game soundtracks in any genre. That kind of music is often imitated, but there’s too much personality and authenticity here for even the best homage to compare.

Nintendo was smart to mention the key features that will make GoldenEye 007 so accessible. Enabling widescreen will surely be a gorgeous experience, and given the tense shootouts, it’ll probably be helpful too.

Additionally, bringing the original multiplayer feature online will make life a lot easier for fans who can’t always get together for the classic split-screen action.

For the uninitiated, GoldenEye 007 includes a variety of multiplayer modes, which get players battling for control of a Golden Gun or even playing with single-hit eliminations. The game didn’t just bolster party gaming, but established new standards and concepts.

Now that GoldenEye 007 has gotten a release date, hopefully Nintendo will update fans about some of the other highly requested titles. You can read more about GoldenEye 007, Nintendo, and other game subscription services by checking out the rest of our news section!
