People who preorder First Light for Switch 2 get the GoldenEye Suit, and it includes the suit and tie that Pierce Brosnan wore in the famous 1995 movie, including the oversized tie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brosnan wore a lot of suits in that movie, but the one being referenced here is the one with the oversized tie, which was the style at the time. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"007 First Light - Official Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date Trailer | IGN Fall Fan Fest 2026\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ONqZeuZtbVE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GoldenEye has a special history with Nintendo specifically, which may help explain why Switch 2 owners are getting this outfit and no one else is. After all, 1997&#8217;s GoldenEye 007, which was based on the movie, is one of the most iconic N64 games of all time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First Light has been a big hit, critically and commercially, scoring great reviews and <a href=\"https:\/\/ioi.dk\/007firstlightgame\/news\/2026\/007-first-light-reaches-4-million-copies-sold\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/ioi.dk\/007firstlightgame\/news\/2026\/007-first-light-reaches-4-million-copies-sold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">selling more than 4 million copies<\/a>, and that&#8217;s before the Switch 2 version even comes out. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Switch 2 version of First Light was supposed to launch alongside the other versions in May 2026, but was later delayed multiple times.
