Now, the same split screen feature will be taken to the world of online gaming. Switch owners will be able to game with one another without having to be in the same room.
GoldenEye 007 is based off of the 1995 Bond film of the same name, in which Irish actor Pierce Brosnan starred as Bond. (RELATED: James Bond Might Become Non-Binary In The Future, Producer Says)
