Trivia
- Nightfire was the first James Bond video game to have its own original theme song, performed by Canadian trip-hop vocalist Esthero.
- The game is also the first Bond video game sequel, as it features several characters introduced in the previous game, Agent Under Fire.
- This is also the first Bond video game since Goldeneye for which Pierce Brosnan consented to have his image used for that of 007 (in Agent Under Fire, Bond had an original face somewhat resembling a blend of the facial features of all the actors who had previously played him).
