GoldenEye On Switch Could Possibly Happen…

(This is pure speculation and hopes nothing has been announced)

Nintendo and Microsoft are in the honeymoon stage of their recent relationship and it got me thinking about GoldenEye coming to the Switch. Back in 2008, Activision was working on an HD port of GoldenEye for the Xbox 360. The game was complete but Nintendo and Xbox couldn’t get the licensing agreement nailed down, and it was scrapped. The HD remake can be seen here thanks to Rare Thief on YouTube.

GoldenEye On Switch, In A Perfect World

The XBLA GoldenEye remake was going to include; high-resolution textures, new multiplayer maps, online multiplayer, and the single-player campaign. All of this would be welcomed! There was also a feature that would make each character the same height, so no more fighting over Oddjob. The game was running at 60 fps and you could toggle between new textures and the old. The source for these details is this Engadget.com article.

GoldenEye HD Should Be A Multiplatform Release

Can you image if Xbox takes the stage at E3 2019 and says “GoldenEye HD out now on Xbox One, PC and Switch?” We know Xbox and Nintendo could make this happen and currently, no publisher has the rights to the IP. Activision gave it up in 2013 and currently, no company has the James Bond license (to kill, I am sorry I couldn’t help myself ). If GoldenEye HD becomes a reality I assume crossplay would be an option and let’s include achievements while we are it. As a recovering achievement junkie, I love seeing them included in all of Microsofts games. Jumping back into the Facility or Library with my friends on Xbox live

RARE Games On Nintendo Again?

Could the newly formed relationship with Nintendo and Xbox be the beginning RARE games back on a Nintendo console? The RARE Replay would be a much-welcomed addition to the Switch library but my concern is the size of a game like that. That would take a large Switch cart or a lot of space on your micro sd card. Even with my concern for space, I would happily welcome the title to the Switch. If they were to update Rare Replay with games like Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong Country, and GoldenEye I would be first in line to fill up my micro sd card.
