Back when it was just a rumor, GoldenEye was said to be coming to both the Wii and DS. But when GoldenEye was properly unveiled during Nintendo’s E3 press conference, only the Wii version (featured in the video above) was shown or mentioned. A DS logo has been on the official GoldenEye game website, and now Activision has confirmed that the game is in development and will, like the Wii version, be released later this year.
Following a mention of the DS version in a Nintendo quarterly earnings report (PDF), Joystiq was able to confirm with Activision that GoldenEye is coming to the DS and that “it’s not a port.” It’s being developed by n-Space, the developer behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 on Wii, DS, and PS2. Actors Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, and Rory Kinnear, who play James Bond, M, and Bill Tanner in the Bond films, respectively, will lend their voices to the game.
A listing on n-Space’s website mentions multiplayer support in the DS game and promises the story of GoldenEye is to be “re-envisioned by famed Bond author Bruce Feirstein for 2010.” It also notes some of the classic scenes from the original move that will make the cut, including the tank sequence in St. Petersburg, the dam in Arkhangelsk, and Severnaya.
