It was released over a year afterwards though I believe. Enough time for Goldeneye's influence to filter in.

Majora's Mask didn't have the same impact but it was the better game.
Best game on the N64 therefore.

ok
For me, Ocarina of Time was the best N64 game. It was just brilliant to play through and even by the standards of modern games it is brilliant. The story was fantastic, the gameplay was as close to perfection as I've seen, it was huge, it was Link's first 3D adventure, some of the cut-scenes were beautiful, and all in all the game was just great to play.
Majora's Mask was a brilliant game but it was unable to create the same impact. The were less dungeons as well but it was a more challenging game with the water temple being particuarly difficult. Also, being limited to 72 minutes before going back in time and resetting everything wasn't a feature I enjoyed, I like to be free to roam around at my leisure.
Goldeneye wasn't anywhere near as amazing as the Zelda games but it was the first game that I spent long sessions on with other people (despite being not that good at it). Both Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were great for playing against friends but I didn't get the same feeling that I got from playing through the single player of the Zelda games.
Conker's BFD was hilarious and there hasn't been a funnier game since. I still turn it on just to listen to the Great Mighty Poo but there is no way it could be described as the N64's best game. There was a lot of innovation and it was fun to play in both single and multiplayer modes but not in the same league as others.
Other games worthy of a mention are Mario 64 which some people say is the best ever platformer, Banjo Kazooie which I believe is one of Rare's moments of genius but was a bit too easy, Super Smash Brothers which was great but has been bettered by Melee, and finally I think Rayman 2 deserves a mention. It was not even close to being the N64's greatest game but I do think it is a highly under rated game which is definitely worth a play.

What's this new Goldeneye like? As EA are involved I doubt it'll have much depth, but is it good for a bit of mindless fun?

Yes it would.
It was indevelopment before Goldeneye was released.

You could carry on all day like that. "This wouldnt exist if it were for this", then you end up back with Pong...
Half-Life wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Goldeneye.
What was so revolutionary about Half Life?
Meh.
Half Life was a much more important game than Goldeneye.
