Major Nelson let us know (via Twitter) that the original Perfect Dark will be coming to XBLA in glorious 1080p this winter. It’s the classic, folks. Forget that lousy launch title, I’m talking about the old school Perfect Dark many of us played on the N64 back when Rare was still dropping hits. Hopefully the frame-rate has improved and all the bizarre simulator opponents (dark sim, perfect sim, peaceful sim) will be included.

A free theme is also available on Xbox Live today to celebrate.
