It was developed almost as an afterthought, with the development team consisting of 10 inexperienced college students, most of whom expected the game to be overshadowed by the technologically superior Turok: Dinosaur Hunter.

Sleeper Hit: The game received almost no pre-release coverage, had a lackluster showing at E3 1997, and was based on a movie that came out two years prior.

The game even ended up the third best-selling title for the system. If you owned a N64 you needed to buy GoldenEye. The high praise from reviews and what was considered a good singleplayer campaign also helped.

Killer App: The game's split screen multiplayer made it a standout for the Nintendo 64, especially since it was novel for an FPS in its time period.

It even has a button toggle to switch between the game's original N64 graphics and the XBLA remastered graphics, though as the Perfect Dark rerelease had such a feature that was Dummied Out of the final release, it was likely a debug feature. All that needed to be done on the beta was some music and graphical fixes, as said beta is fully playable, down to even having an achievement list.

On February 2021, a hacker called 'Fyodorovna' (after Natalya's middle name) managed to leak a near-complete beta build of the XBLA version online for the general public, allowing players to see just how far ahead it was.

Ultimate, it can be assumed that the only roadblock left in a rerelease in The New '20s is Eon Productions and MGM, who have since taken their extremely sweet time on Bond video games after previous license owner Activision crapped that bed with 007 Legends in 2012, only putting the Bond license back on the market for IO Interactive to grab 8 years after the fact in 2020. With Nintendo and Microsoft forging a Friendly Rivalry by the end of The New '10s following a leadership change at Xbox Game Studios, leading to a number of Microsoft-owned games and characters appearing on the Nintendo Switch and in Super Smash Bros.

A 2020 interview with Adam Foshko of Activision revealed that EON and MGM were notorious for placing restrictions on games that, while keeping Bond games 'in-character', would greatly restrict what the rerelease could do. Reggie Fils-AimГ© in 2006 also claimed Nintendo was 'exploring all the rights issues' to bring the game to the Wii's Virtual Console, but since that never came to fruition, it can be assumed Microsoft in turn wouldn't allow Nintendo to have the game on just their console. Back during The Seventh Generation of Console Video Games, Rare was working on a port for the Xbox 360 after Microsoft and Eon Productions came to an agreement, but Nintendo of Japan reportedly wouldn't allow it, leading to the port's cancellation.Keep Circulating the Tapes: The game has not seen any kind of rerelease since its original run, due to ownership of the game being split between Nintendo, Microsoft's Xbox Game Studios (of which Rare is a subsidiary) and Eon Productions, for several reasons.It only made it a more faithful adaptation in the end, as the film also kept its firefights bloodless. Executive Meddling: As pointed out by co-designer Martin Hollis, Nintendo had a hand in toning down the violence of the game, the most notable change being the removal of the blood you'd expect when killing an enemy-although they kept the Bond franchise's 'Blood-flowing-down-the-screen-as-you-die' aspect intact AND enemies having bullet wound exactly where you shoot, a feature which many contemporary shooters lacked.
