GoldenEye 007 is a 2010 first-person shooter video game developed by Eurocom and published by Activision for the Wii,[1] with a handheld version for Nintendo DS developed by n-Space.[4] It is a modern reimagining of the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye as well as a remake of the 1997 video game of the same name, developed for the earlier Nintendo 64 console. The game was officially announced by Nintendo at their E3 2010 conference presentation.[5] The game was released on 2 November 2010 in tandem with another James Bond game, Blood Stone, which was also released for the DS, but not the Wii. Nintendo, the publisher of the Nintendo 64 game, published the Wii version in Japan the following summer,[6] where it remains Wii-exclusive. It was the fifth James Bond game developed by Eurocom and their second under Activision, after the PlayStation 2 version of 007: Quantum of Solace two years prior.

Although not as critically acclaimed as its original Nintendo 64 version, the game received positive reviews from critics, with many calling it a return to form for the series, with particular praise for its gameplay, campaign, voice acting, multiplayer and controls.[7][8][9][10][11] An enhanced port of the game, titled GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, was released in November 2011 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
