GoldenEye 007 is Coming to the Nintendo Switch Soon
Nintendo has revealed that the iconic N64 first-person shooter, GoldenEye 007, is set to make a stunning return to the console after an absence of 20 years.
It has been many months since rumors of the game’s imminent re-release, although Nintendo made no official confirmation – until now that is. The game’s comeback has been one of the industry’s worst-kept secrets for some time and appeared on the Xbox website some time ago.
