'''Goldeneye 007''' was an unreleased video game for the ''Virtual Boy'' set to coincide with the release of the console version of of ''Goldeneye 007'' (which at the time was being worked on as an ''SNES'' game). The game was announced in 1995 coinciding with the release of the Virtual Boy. The game itself was being developed as a racing game differentiating itself from any of the console versions of the game. It’s unknown who was developing the game but it was most likely either the company Rare (who was developing the console version at the time), or internally at Nintendo as they held the rights for making video games for the Bond franchise at that time. However it has been stated that Rare has denied working on the game.

Goldeneye 007 was an unreleased video game for the Virtual Boy set to coincide with the release of the console version of of Goldeneye 007 (which at the time was being worked on as an SNES game). The game was announced in 1995 coinciding with the release of the Virtual Boy. The game itself was being developed as a racing game differentiating itself from any of the console versions of the game. It’s unknown who was developing the game but it was most likely either the company Rare (who was developing the console version at the time), or internally at Nintendo as they held the rights for making video games for the Bond franchise at that time. However it has been stated that Rare has denied working on the game.

The game was most likely cancelled due to the poor sales of the Virtual Boy (the Virtual Boy itself was discontinued only a year later in 1996). The only remaining evidence of the game is two screenshots, and a description most likely from a Nintendo power magazine.

Original Description: "GoldenEye If you thought rush-hour traffic was a nightmare, wait ’til you get behind the wheel of 007’s car. Avoid obstacles and blow the other cars away. Buckle up for safety because, in this game, you never know what’s gonna happen."
