It could have been so easy for Microsoft and Rare to get this one in the back of the net – so what went wrong?
But the celebration was short-lived. After the Direct wrapped up, more materials for the games started to circulate, and it became clear that something was off – the two versions of the games, one for Xbox and one for Switch, would be quite different after all.
We’ve added the bold for emphasis, because it’s very different to what you see on the Nintendo version.
Over on the official 007 press site (yes, it exists), the Nintendo game is confirmed to have online multiplayer. Exclusive online multiplayer.
«Exclusive to the new Switch version of the 1997 title will be online play, allowing 007 fans across the world to take part in the popular four person multiplayer mode together.» Once again, that’s our bold for emphasis.
Take a cursory look online – even at the quote tweets on the tweet we put out reporting on this news – and you’ll see one very clear message: people are not very happy about this.
