Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments

Something finally happened this week that many had for a long time thought would be impossible: a release of GoldenEye 007. If you’re a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscriber, you can play it right now. For some, this will be their first time reexperiencing the game since its release over two decades ago.

And for new players, what are your thoughts on the game that has often been labeled as a true classic? Let us know in the comments.
