Quote:RUMOR #4a & 4b: The GoldenEye DS game will either be a portable GoldenEye: Rogue Agent or a revamped version of the N64 GoldenEye.
Source: James Bond fan site mi6.co.uk and GCadvanced.com.
The official story: " We have not made any announcements about any of our DS games, including GoldenEye."--Electronic Arts spokesperson.
What we heard: While the MI6.co.uk angle is more plausible, the resurrection of the N64 classic--which is still considered one of the top-10 first-person shooters of all time--got far more buzz. So much buzz, in fact, that GCadvanced.com not only pulled the original story, but also published a lengthy mea culpa for sparking the rumor in the first place. "We apologize for the prodigious excitement this may have spurred," said the site. As for EA, they're muter than Oddjob when it comes to the subject of GoldenEye for the DS. "What you have been reading online is straight rumor," a rep told GameSpot.
Bogus or not bogus?: Too early to tell. But either way, the game sounds interesting.
