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.

"based on"

Keep clutching those straws.
Electronic Arts is developing the game and will publish it exclusively for the DS? As Dringo said.. EA is not one for exclusive games, unless this is fruit of Nintendo/EA's closeness and has been specially requested by Nintendo.
If it is based on the Nintendo 64 game like GCA claim, Rare will have to be involved unless being "based" is being used in the loosest possible sense. Which it probably is.
Intresting news all the same.

I agree. It will end up being rubbish or ribbish.
Liklihood of us getting what we want, 2/10.
I just can't see it.
