Interestingly, this game has a lean feature much like Far Cry or F.E.A.R. Having it emulate the joystick works pretty well and results in increased accuracy and easier use of the crosshair for headshots. Though not designed for one, Goldeneye plays great with a mouse. Anyone who’s interested in the N64 FPS library or in the N64 library in general should check out this plugin. You can also change the keybindings (which also includes alternate bindings) and the mouse sensitivity from the profile screen. Setting Goldeneye up for Keyboard/Mouse controls is a breeze all you do is drag the dll file into the plugin directory of your emulator, choose the plugin in the emulator settings, go into the plugin settings, and select the Goldeneye 007 profile.
A quick glance is all one needs to tell the plugin was built from the ground up for the N64’s First Person Shooter titles. Thankfully, the emulated game controls remarkably well with a mouse and keyboard thanks to the Nrage Input plugin. These two factors make the N64 mouse a rather rare and expensive accessory, leaving me to pursue the only alternative: Emulation. Though there is a Nintendo 64 mouse compatible with Goldeneye 007 available, it was only released in Japan, and on top of that, it was only a pack-in accessory with Mario Artist: Paint Studio for the N64DD. Method used to play the game with a mouse: The fuzzy picture Goldeneye had left in my mind made it the prime candidate for my inaugural Playing Nice with Mice entry. However, despite playing it several times, I’ve never quite gotten a sense of what the game was really like due to a combination of long lapses between play sessions and my shitty memory.
I spent several afternoons playing Goldeneye, either deathmatching with my school-chums or playing through the campaign while they weren’t looking. I had a PlayStation while most of the other kids I knew had N64s and, as expected, they all had Goldeneye. Goldeneye 007, or simply Goldeneye, for the Nintendo 64 is a game I’ve always had a weird sense of nostalgia for. With my biggest hurdle (I can't stand playing FPSes with a controller) out of the way, I write about the merits of the game and how it compares to other FPSes of the time. In this series I take console exclusive FPSes (like Goldeneye) and find a way to play it with my beloved mouse and keyboard. One of the features I wanted to write was a series called Playing Nice With Mice. As all of you (probably don't) know, I have posted a thread a bit ago stating my interest in starting a gaming weblog.
