A port of GoldenEye 007 was at one point in development for Xbox Live Arcade before it was canned.
Footage from the XBLA version of GoldenEye 007 was posted online by Graslu00, and you can see for yourself what could have been in the video below (thanks, GoldenEye Dossier).
The Xbox 360 port was developed many years ago for XBLA in Rare and was intended, among other things, to contain higher resolution and better character and weapon models.
Due to licensing issues, the game was never released.
The footage you see above was not leaked, but came from buildings of ParternetNet, a version of Xbox Live that was only available to devkit owners (via Eurogamer). The video shows a breakthrough of the campaign and a number of multiplayer recordings, and thanks to the emulator, it works at 60 frames per second and at 4K. The video is about two hours long, so grab a cup and a snack before watching it.
