But Nintendo has been the one holding things up evidently, so if they don't sign off, Microsoft won't be releasing any version of Goldeneye. They seem to be the ones holding the keys to make this happen.

It will probably be the original game/style of graphics, but with improved draw distance and some minor tweaks like that. 1080p and increased/stable framerate but no new textures.

Unless it's put on NSO but made available in a different category, and not sorted with the OG N64 releases, then maybe it will be a port of that 360 remaster.

Either way, I can't wait to play this online!

Banjo was a character designed and created by Rare, James Bond is a separate IP which had to be paid for to be licensed by Nintendo XD. Nintendo wasn't going to let Microsoft profit from their investment without them getting in on the action.

Also you just inadvertently agreed with my opinion in your second paragraph. For there to be cross-play between both consoles' online services (which there will undoubtedly be), both versions need to be the same. That's why the Xbox achievement leak images show the OG game, not the 360 remaster. Nintendo wouldn't let Xbox release a superior version of the game on their console. They will want them both identical.

When the games are announced in a couple weeks, be sure to come back and apologize to me!

I'm sure there will be cross-play between both versions, with one on NSO and the other on Gamepass. So that would likely mean both versions have to be the same. Plus the leaked Xbox achievements show the original games graphics/models in HD, not the 360 remastered version. I'm thinking Nintendo wants both versions to be identical (the N64 original in 1080p), with both only available through each companies online service.

Absolutely Nintendo helped prevent it from releasing on 360. Then when it leaked and was huge news, both companies realized they were sitting on a lot of $$$ so they decided to work together to get it released. Microsoft gave Nintendo Banjo to help sweeten their shoddy online service in exchange for Nintendo allowing both companies to share Goldeneye.

Bought them all on day one for PS2. Loved them.

Bought Vice City (my favourite one) on PS4 a couple years ago, and couldn't play it much further than the RC helicopter level due to the atrocious controls. I found it unplayable today.

I've been playing San Andreas on Game Pass and am liking it a lot more so far. The new "modern" controls are making it FAR more enjoyable to play these games.

Do yourself a favor and try to play the PS2 version of any of these games right now, and tell me it plays better than these. They don't.

If this was a Nintendo release, it would be the exact opposite situation with the majority defending it.

I've played about 3hrs of San Andreas on Series X and am loving it so far. Any glitches or "weird" animation things I've seen were the same things happening the in original release. People either forget that, or are playing this for the first time and have no clue.
