Okay, soGoldenEye 007may never truly come to Xbox Live Arcade, but it seems that Rare has found a very nice workaround. Multiplayer maps and weapons from the classic Bond shooter will be coming toPerfect DarkXBLA, effectively emulating theGoldenEyeexperience without having to finagle a license from Nintendo’s legal department. Clever girl.
The maps and weapons were actually part of the originalPerfect Darkwhen it launched on the Nintendo 64. Microsoft’s Ken Lobbs confirmed that these bonuses will be returning whenPerfect Darkre-releases on Xbox Live, taking us as close toGoldenEyeas we can get without a release of the real game.
Perfect Dark is released on March 17 and will cost a cool 800 Moon Dollars.
