Same artwork, same name, no effort at all to cover tracks &#8211; something that could be worth doing, especially considering the same game, with the same artwork, has apparently been <a href=\"https:\/\/store.playstation.com\/en-sg\/product\/UB1012-CUSA52892_00-0492646769608554\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pulled off the PSN Store already<\/a>. For some reason.<\/p>\n<p>We should also note that the company presenting the game for sale seems to have had a name change, unless they are an entirely different outfit going by the name XenoXeno, but you can rest assured that from the art and screens provided on the store, this is the very likely to be exactly the same trash that we watched GoldenEye speedrunner <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Graslu00\">Graslu00<\/a> blast through in a fun video he put together on the topic.<\/p>\n<p>Shocking<\/p>\n<p>So, a word of warning to any budding Bonds out there, this is most certainly not worth your coin. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/en-gb\/Games\/Nintendo-Switch-download-software\/AGENT-07-SPY-REVENGE-2855662.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the eShop listing<\/a>, it&#8217;s out on 21st June and they want $9.99 \/ \u00a39.99 for it. Nope.<\/p>\n<p>Will you be picking up Agent 07 &#8211; Spy Revenge in the hopes that it&#8217;s now somehow really, really good?
