Rumor: Activision Remaking GoldenEye for the Wii

According to survey floating around the net and an anonymous source (via GoNintendo), Activision is supposedly working on a Goldeneye remake for the Nintendo Wii, which could be announced at E3.

GoNintendo’s anonymous source gave them the following info about the rumored remake:

GoldenEye for Nintendo 64 was a game that defined a genre. Now, after 13 years of gaming innovation, the legend is re-imagined. Developed from the ground up for the Wii, GoldenEye takes advantage of the latest technology to deliver the same intense experience with today’s graphics and physics.

Play a modernized version of the classic story with the new Bond (Daniel Craig), more lethal and cunning than ever as you take on missions around the world. Relive all the legendary moments from the original game; St Petersburg, the Caribbean and numerous other levels.

Leverage the classic arsenal of weapons and gadgets as you fight Onatopp, Trevelyan and their adversaries, from the classic PP7 to the high tech assault rifle, sniper rifles and even the tank.

The enhanced multiplayer experience offers 4 player splitscreen like the original and introduces 8-player online matches. GoldenEye is 13 years better, are you?

Here are some images that came along with the above info:

CVG has also reported that a spokesperson for Rare has confirmed that they are not working on a GoldenEye title, making it even more likely that Activision is possibly behind all of this. There are also some whisperings that Eurocom, makers of 007: Nightfire, might be working on the remake.

Hopefully Activision will confirm these rumors as true soon, if not, we might just hear something from them at E3. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that this is real, because a Goldeneye remake would be f*cking awesome!
