Nintendo Switch Online Can Bring Back The Legendary Couch Co-Op Days of Goldeneye 007
Historically, video games based on big-budget movies don't tend to fare particularly well.

With the recent news that Goldeneye 007 is coming to Nintendo Switch Online, and will include an online multiplayer mode, fans will be excited to relive some of the action with a whole new pool of players.
When developer Rare created Goldeneye 007, it probably had no idea that the game would go on to have such a lasting impact on the industry.

The Nintendo Switch version is understood to be a port, but interestingly, Xbox is also receiving a version of the game which has been described as a '4K resolution remaster'. The multiplayer feature, though, is exclusive to the Switch version of Goldeneye. This will be extremely disappointing for Xbox owners, and is a decision that is not yet fully understood, but it is hugely exciting for those on the Switch.
