GoldenEye 007, the Wii-imagining of the classic N64 FPS based on the James Bond movie of the same name, will be one of the year’s biggest sellers on Wii, Activision has claimed.
“Our expectations are that GoldenEye 007 will be one of the best-selling games for the year on the Wii,” David Tyler, general manager for the firm’s Licensed Business Unit told MCV.
Such a claim will see the game having to rival the likes of Just Dance (1 and 2), Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Bros. and Wii Party.
GoldenEye 007 will be released for Wii on November 5, 2011.
Wii hits are heavily skewed towards Nintendo games and casual properties, meaning producing a first-person shooter hit on the Wii won’t be easy.
Activision will be hoping to cash-in on the core gamer looking to rekindle memories of the much-loved N64 title, in particular through the four-player split screen and eight-player online multiplayer modes.
However, with Call of Duty: Black Ops arriving only days later and set to monopolise the FPS segment, Activision might find its own game destroying any chance the Wii shooter has of success.
