Goldeneye was supposed to be coming as well, even had screenshots but got axed at the last second so I'll wait and see
Also its a bit dated so I don't know how well it would hold up.

Two analog stick aiming could be cool?!

it did have temple and complex on multiplayer and that rail gun (farsight?) was pretty cool. I would get it just to have some old school bond maps on live.

Because Rare/Microsoft needed the James Bond license, they only owned the game code. The license holder (Activision) was agreeable to the idea, but wanted Nintendo's blessings before allowing everything to fall into place in order to ensure they didn't possibly damage their relationship with Nintendo (It is a N64 classic after all and is associated with Nintendo). Nintendo wasn't crazy about the idea even after Rare offered to allow the N64 title to appear on the Virtual Console, so the project died. While the game was fully owned by Rare, without permission to use the 007 license, the project died.

Nintendo has no ownership of Goldeneye or Perfect Dark. And this time, all the assets are fully Rare's own IP. So no chance of a repeat from last time.
