I would love if they brought back the Activision run of James Bond games, mainly Blood Stone and Goldeneye, but know that is unlikely since they no longer hold the licence and they may require some extra work for backwards compatability
@Baler Hope you enjoy it. There are several posts about configuring the controls. In the system menu for remapping the controls, swap the control sticks, set ZL->ZR, L->ZL, A->R, and B->L. In the game select the Solitaire control option and turn off inverted looking.
@Baler I haven't noticed dips like the Xbox version when playing on the Switch. I had already played through the campaign in Switch before trying the Xbox version so the little stutters really surprised me.
Only minor inconvenience for the Switch was remapping controls for when I am not using an N64 controller, but have been having a blast after that was set which did not take much time and the remapped controls could be saved to make it easy to swap to later.
@awp69 Don't forget the Bond right holders (Eon/MGM). I seem to remember that they were shocked by how violent Goldeneye was which is why they were more involved with the EA games to specify that there would be no blood and good guys could not fight each other in multiplayer.
@Baler I thought I was imagining those stutters when I started playing, but they kept happening. Been mostly playing the Switch version in handheld which has been a blast.
@PeteW You can save up to five remap settings, and if you have a controller with its buttons remapped there is usually a prompt at the home screen asking if you want to continue using the remapped controls or reset to default settings, so barely an inconvenience. Definitely worth it if you want to enjoy playing the game handheld
@PeteW The Switch controls are very playable with a little bit of remapping. In the Switch system menu swap the right and left control sticks, map L to ZL, ZL to ZR, A to L, and B to R. In the game menu select the Solitaire control option and make sure the look up/down is set to upright.
Been using this and had a good job playing the campaign in handheld mode, lots of fun.
Played through the campaign on Agent difficulty on the Switch last night and this morning. Just tried a few levels on Xbox and thought it felt better on Switch, although it did require a little button remapping
Keeping an eye on Nintendo. If they announce this as the NSO game for this month, or if nothing is announced before the presentation, it might be added to Game Pass this month. If they announce a different title it probably won't be this month since I doubt it will come to Game Pass sooner.

Re: Rumour: Xbox 'Actively' Working On New Banjo-Kazooie Game
I wonder if it would be developed with a Switch version in mind since it would probably sell pretty well over there if it is a quality game

Re: Talking Point: Have You Ever Bought An Xbox For One Specific Game?
@Baler Same reason I got a Series S

It is a miracle really that we got anything.

Re: Hands On: Our First Impressions Of GoldenEye 007 On Xbox Game Pass
@iplaygamesnstuff Not sure if it is that simple. Rare developed the game but were commissioned by Nintendo who held the 007 license at the time.
