In an announcement that many saw coming a while ago, Nintendo finally confirmed a remake of the classic shooter GoldenEye for the Wii. Coming this holiday season, the game will replace the character model of Pierce Brosnan with the newest actor to inhabit the skin of James Bond, Daniel Craig. The game will include split-screen as well as online multiplayer, and will bring back all of the classic game modes that made the game such a hit in the past; including Melee Only, Paintball, and You Only Live Twice.

Now many will tell you that the graphics don't hold up, or that the gameplay has been surpassed by newer games with more pixels, or a better frame rate, or blah blah blah. And maybe that's true. But for pure fun, in both single player and multiplayer modes, I'd be hard pressed to come up with a ton of games that I personally enjoy more than GoldenEye. So if you're looking for early Christmas present ideas for yours truly, put this close to the top of the list.
