All GoldenEye 007 cheats and how to activate them

GoldenEye 007 has made a much-anticipated return to modern gaming consoles with it being added to the Nintendo Switch Online N64 library and releasing on Xbox for the first time ever.

That being said, the cheats from the original game have returned but are unlocked through different means, depending on the platform you play on. Here is how to activate all the cheats in GoldenEye 007.

How to activate cheats in GoldenEye on Nintendo Switch

If you are playing GoldenEye 007 on Nintendo Switch, you are essentially playing the original version of the game. That said, you can activate any of the cheats below by inputting the following codes in the right spot. Note: inputs that would normally be on the joystick of an N64 controller have been mapped to the left D-pad, and C buttons are on the right joystick.

Each input will have you changing between holding the L and R button and inputting the correct direction with your D-pad or Right Stick. This can be complicated and might take a few tries to get right. Luckily, you can work through these pretty slowly.
