Do you remember Perfect Dark Zero? A game developed by Rare that followed the N64 Perfect Dark release which was also one of the first Xbox 360 Platinum Hits? Well, after the Perfect Dark development team saw a staff cut the game’s sequel was canceled so the studio started work on the next best thing — an Xbox Live Arcade remake of the original Perfect Dark.

Make note that we first got wind of this remake back in April of 2009 but there wasn’t much to go by then. Now, it has been made known that the game will be making an appearance at next week’s Xbox 360 X10 gaming summit where all in attendance will get a chance to play it.

I don’t know about you guys but I was a huge fan of the N64 Perfect Dark so the fact that it’s coming to the Xbox Live Arcade is very exciting to me.

While Microsoft is busy announcing and revealing new games at E3, Xbox Live’s Major Nelson twittered a very exciting piece of news of Perfect Dark fans — the original N64 is officially coming to Xbox Live Arcade, and is scheduled for release this winter.

In a posting of an upcoming Banjo-Kazooie theme for Xbox LIVE, a small thumbnail depicting Joanna Dark from the Perfect Dark series can be seen in the Latest Games subsection. This, of course, lead people to believe that Perfect Dark could be coming to the Xbox LIVE Arcade.

It is to be noted that this is not the same icon for the 2005 title Perfect Dark Zero.

IGN contacted Microsoft, and a representative said, “we have nothing to announce at this time.”
