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.

If there are decent Launch games in the US, then I'm going to import a DS.

Otherwise, I'll wait until the UK one arrives, by which time the US should have a back-log of quality games.

no way would rare be involved, with microsoft and EA's big fall out over online console play un all.

Would most undoudtly buy a DS if they had goldeneye on it. Would be so good, Perfect Dark on the DS would be amazing.

Go tell them that.

If it's based on the N64 game then I guess it's got the same storyline as the film.

Pfft, linking up DS's just isn't going to be as good as actually sitting around the same TV as your mates playing the game together.

But if it's any good I'll be getting.
