If Switch version has gyro, I'll probably pick it up there. But this is great news. Will run through the campaign for sure.

I'll play it. Loved it back then. I borrowed it to someone I didn't know well and never got it back. I hope they burn in hell.

You joke, but modern computers are on 64 bit processors...the N64 got there 25 years ago.
Who's laughing now.

They need to fire whoever made the switch trailer, it is awful.
The Xbox trailer was pretty good though.
It's the same game, but it honestly shows you what difference a trailer can make.
I'll give this a go, but I feel like I already know it won't have held up, hopefully I am pleasantly surprised/wrong.
Have they updated controls to use both analog sticks?

Excited to have it online. The Xbox version seems kind of lame, but I guess better than nothing.
It's still very odd to me this got announced so early, for what is basically just a ROM dump. Was the licensing really that messy, that they could announce it 5 months ago, but it took another 5 months finalize it for release? It's not like it took Nintendo any time for the netcode to work.

Yes, it's built in the emulator though, not in the game. So you basically play P2P with people you know and I'm not sure it would work well (latency wise) with more than one other player.
The licensing is actually a giant clusterfuck:

I'm looking forward to Switch online for this. I play the old Nintendo games online with friends a lot and we've been really excited about this.

Gyro would utterly break the game. Unlike most people, I actually played the twin-stick configuration on the N64 (using two controllers), and even having that much precision, it was already busted for the bad guys.

It's a give take if the trailers are accurate. Xbox gets a much better looking version without online multiplayer, switch gets online multiplayer with awful framerates.

So, can I buy this as a separate game on Switch? Also, does it have server browser or matchmaking?
That licensing thing isn't 100% correct. EON hasn't tightened things up, they've loosened it so no one has the exclusive Bond game license anymore. IO is making their game, but they don't have the exclusive license. The reason why the XBLA (and Wii VC) version never came out was because at the time Activision had the exclusive on Bond games and they wouldn't allow it.

I wonder if they edited out Oddjob from the multi.

I'm okay with that lol. The game has super heavy auto-aim as is.
No, you need to have the Switch Online Expansion Pack and the online MP is just through that emulator and not the game itself so no server browser or matchmaking.

I'll definitely hop back into this for nostalgia's sake, even if just for a bit. I loved this game SO much growing up. But I'm sure I played it so much that the current experience will leave me going, "neat", and then playing something else, lol. Just love that they did this, even if it felt like it took forever to happen, lol.

The Xbox version is not a full remake. The XBLA version was never released and leaked last year.
It is likely Microsoft had to compromise with Nintendo and could only enhance the original game at 4k/60fps with no online while Nintendo got to add online to their version.
