Randomness:
I'm not sure if it was Nintendo or Activision, but somebody took longer than usual getting GoldenEye 007 listed on the Nintendo Channel. I had been checking for the last few weeks, and the game wasn't even listed, until last night. Though the game appeared last night, it didn't have any play-time data showing, until it was updated today.
Also, now that GoldenEye 007 is listed on the Nintendo Channel, the "copyright" text below it is incorrect. Again, that could be Nintendo putting up the wrong information, or Activision just sending the wrong information over. Here's the "copyright" text that is showing beneath GoldenEye 007 right now:
Apparently, Activision(or Nintendo) wants GoldenEye 007 to be associated with Cabela, and the Cabela hunting games?
Thoughts:
GoldenEye 007 is off to a good start with the game-play data shown, and I think the game will continue to see steady increases each week throughout the Christmas/holiday season.
I have been playing GoldenEye 007 on a regular basis since I purchased it. I completed the single-player campaign back on Friday, November 5(early Saturday technically). I plan on going back and completing the single-player campaign on all the difficulty settings, but I am enjoying the online multi-player in the meantime.
If you haven't seen any footage from GoldenEye 007's online multi-player, here is a video of a Team Conflict match, played on the Facility level:
