GoldenEye 007 cheat codes will not work on Xbox

[ad_1]

GoldenEye 007 is now available on both Nintendo Switch and Xbox, but it turns out that cheats work a little differently across the two versions.

N64 players will remember the likes of DK Mode, Paintball Mode, Aztec Levels and Egyptian Secret Levels, which are unlocked by completing missions on difficulty and timed conditions. Alternatively, they can be unlocked by entering cheat codes.

However, while these cheat codes still work on the Switch version, they are not compatible with the Xbox version.

The news was confirmed to Polygon by an Xbox spokesperson: “This version of GoldenEye 007 is, for the majority, as players know and love from the 1997 version. Specifically for cheats, they can be unlocked by completing levels in the required time, rather than using button codes previously used. “.

However, even though the icons are present in the Switch version, they are a bit difficult to activate due to the N64’s inputs being translated into Switch controls. Instead, it comes down to that speed.

It’s another way the two versions differ, considering online multiplayer is only on Switch.

Despite spending many hours on GoldenEye as a kid, I wasn’t aware of these cheat codes. Luckily I got the game second hand (thanks grandma) which had a save file with all the cheats unlocked. Unfortunately, this particular hack won’t work this time.

The game is available on both consoles as of today, though there has been some controversy over the pause menu music in the Switch version. But fear not – that famous pong is back.
