Finally, a new Bond game. Hopefully they make it a good one. The last good bond game I played was "From Russia with Love".

Tomorrow Never Dies on the Playstation 1 was the last Bond game I played, but I remember loving the heck out of it. Not sure I will ever emulate it, some of those PS1 games are best left for nostalgia reminiscing. PS2 emulation is a go though, PS1 just didn't age as well to upscaling. haha

Bond is a Switch 2 title, fyi. Remains to be seen if it will be exclusive or have further availability.

Oh yea that was a great one. I think my favorite part was the stun gun (feel like a Psycho love it because of what happens when you use it on someone too long lol). I liked alot of the Game cube games like Agent Under Fire, Nightfire, Everything or Nothing, and From Russia with Love. I also loved the spin off game GoldenEye: Rogue Agent but after that they have been mediocre at best.

Yea PS1 upscaling with emulators is unfortunate at best. I have a CRT TV with my classic consoles hooked up for the experience but its in my closet right now because of room so its hard to play all that haha.
