The Xbox version also has widescreen and other enhancements, while the Nintendo Switch version is a straight up port with netplay.

Give and take.

Goldeneye has always supported widescreen, no reason it shouldn't work on the Switch version too.

Sorta, kinda.

Any widescreen option before games went HD is more of a trick than actual support. The N64 doesn't actually support a widescreen resolution, so games with that option just squish everything in a 4:3 resolution and let the display stretch it out. The resolution is still 320×237. The results look okay, but Icons and 2D Menus in particular will have a lot of artifacts.

Doesn't really take much from there to understand why actual native widescreen support is superior.
