No, you’re not dreaming – Rare’s legendary N64 shooter GoldenEye 007<\/a> is actually coming to the Nintendo Switch this week. After ongoing requests, it’s finally<\/em> making a comeback on the Switch Online Expansion Pack service this Friday.<\/p>\n

Although we’ll never truly know just how difficult it has been to revive this classic first-person shooter, not long after the release date was locked in yesterday, Xbox’s head Phil Spencer took a moment to acknowledge “the journey” Microsoft’s gaming division has been on to make it happen. As you might recall, there have been a lot<\/em> of licensing issues to overcome and there was even a cancelled remaster<\/a> along the way. Here’s exactly what he had to say:<\/p>\n

Phil Spencer:<\/strong> “The journey to get GoldenEye 007 out on Xbox has been a long one, great to finally get to bring it to Xbox and @XboxGamePass. This @RareLtd classic is also coming out on #NintendoSwitch @NintendoAmerica, however you decide to play, this a classic worth playing.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
