Nintendo Wii: ‘Sales For Activision’s GoldenEye Remake Will Be Disappointing’

Wedbush analyst Michael Patcher has proclaimed that the rumoured Wii GoldenEye remake which is set to be developed by Activision will ultimately produce disappointing sales.

“Given the track record of ‘hardcore’ Wii exclusives, I would bet that sales are underwhelming. It’s a funny thought to resurrect a 10 year-old brand – maybe longer – and keep it a Nintendo exclusive. It is unlike Activision to do an exclusive, and I am particularly surprised that they would do it with Goldeneye. I completely agree that most of the original audience is pretty hardcore, and think a Rare game on the 360 would have a better chance. Perhaps this is all due to the James Bond license, but… a Wii exclusive is odd.”

Nintendo Wii: GoldenEye Remake For Wii According To Activision Survey

A remake of the classic Nintendo 64 game GoldenEye is supposedly in the works at Activision and is heading to the Nintendo Wii.

The unfortunate news is that the original developer Rare has stated that it has absolutely nothing to do with the project. The news story itself comes straight from a source at CVG, but at present it should be treated entirely as rumour.

“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?”

Canadian gaming publication, GameFocus, believe they have inside information direct from Nintendo regarding a possible Wii remake of the critically acclaimed Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Apparently the information was passed onto the gaming publication via a Nintendo source who claims that there will be announcement regarding this monumental decision coming ‘around’ April 5th. It could possibly be an early April fools joke, but with a growing number of titles receiving the ‘Wii treatment’ it’s definitely a possibility.
