It’s been over ten years since Goldeneye 007 was released for the Nintendo 64, so gamers are certainly anxious as the release for the follow-up to the game, Goldeneye 007 for the Wii, gets closer and closer to release. If you’re anxiously awaiting the chance to play as James Bond and shoot, smash, and smack your way through this re-imagining of the 64 classic, we’ve got something to keep you occupied.

A new trailer has been released today for Goldeneye 007, featuring a look at some of the maps players will explore when the game is finally released next month.

We’ve also gotten word about a brand-new multiplayer mode in Goldeneye 007 for Wii. In Classic Conflict mode, players can choose from classic James Bond characters Jaws, Oddjob, Baron Samedi, Dr. No, Scaramanga, Red Grant, Rosa Klebb and Blofeld. When killed, players will respawn randomly as one of these characters. With up to 8 players, chances are high that all eight characters will face off in online play.

Purchasing the Goldeneye 007 Classic Edition bundle will give you access to Classic Conflict mode right away. If not, you’ll be able to unlock this exciting new multiplayer mode once you reach level 35 in online multiplayer.

Goldeneye 007 will be released exclusively for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS on November 2nd. You can watch the brand-new trailer for the game after the jump.

Rumors were swirling this week about a major electronics manufacturer planning to reveal a new console, and while it’s a bit of a surprise, it ended up being Panasonic who let the cat out of the bag. According to Kotaku, Panasonic has announced The Jungle, the first portable gaming console designed exclusively for online gaming and MMORPGs.

The Jungle can best be described as a teeny tiny PC, with a full QWERTY keyboard and touchpad, as well as the d-pad and shoulder buttons standard to most portable consoles. The device is created specifically for online gaming, especially for those who don’t want to be tied down by all the weight and wires of a desktop PC but don’t want to sacrifice performance for portability.

While details are slim about the device so far, its rumored to be running on a Linux OS. The screen, while probably small, supposedly has an amazing resolution. We can safely assume The Jungle will have some sort of built-in WiFi, maybe even 3G capabilities, as well as some amazing battery life and a killer processor.

It’s hard to imagine this device being affordable, but the idea of being able to bring World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy Online around with you as easily as you carry a DS or PSP is definitely tempting.

We’ll keep our eye on this new, unique little device as more details emerge.
