GCA have announced that the DS version of Goldeneye is not the "rogue agent" game that is due for release at the end of the year, but instead a game based on the N64 classic.
Details are scarce but after Donkey Kong Country I'd imagine RARE would have to be involved. DKC is of course owned by Nintendo but as they didn't make the game it was RARE who ported the editon with Nintendo publishing. I'd imagine, although nothings certain, that RARE (especially after their little hint in the tepid seat interview (see Rare's heart is still with Nintendo)) are developing the game and EA publishing it.
It is of course possible that it isn't an updated port but a game built from the ground up by EA's teams, inspired by the original 64 game.
I somewhat doubt this, GCA confirmed the game was exclusive to the DS (so no PSP version) which is VERY unlike EA. Unless EA has no choice but to make the version exclusive to the DS, like maybe the game they are making is a port of an old Nintendo one.

Which it is. America/Japan this year, Europe next. Has there been any other evidence to the contrary?

I read in an interview with Nintendo that the DS would be released simultaniously worldwide. I'll check, could be wrong though.

Looks as in capabilities or actual aesthetic appeal?
Just a question.

So Cubed-3.co.uk are now saying it's definately a port from the N64. Based on evidence from Nintendojo, who got it from Nintendo Evolved, who got it from a "close source". Hum.
