As soon as Nintendo 64 games were confirmed for Switch Online, many players immediately started wondering what the chances were of GoldenEye coming to it.Īfter all, as arguably the greatest multiplayer game on the system and the one that brought FPS deathmatches to the console gaming mainstream for the first time, the addition of online multiplayer (if it worked) would have some paying for the Expansion Pack for that alone.
