Major Nelson Comments on GoldenEye

January 16th, 2008

On his Twitter page, Major Nelson has made a very brief comment regarding GoldenEye. You may recall the rumors surrounding the game and it’s alleged port to Xbox Live Arcade. Well, apparently Major Nelson has been hearing a little bit from the community about it. As a response, the good Major simply states:

My inbox has a lot of ‘Save Goldeneye’ emails. I will be sure topass them on to the right people.

I guess we can’t ask for much more than that.
