Hold the fucking phone. In my opinion Konami have had a less than successful year, primarily because of the bad sales for Castlevania, but they also had great sales for Peace Walker. That tells me one thing, MGS is their bread and butter. So you tell me why on earth Konami releasing the MGS back catalogue, and the SH bc, isn't a prudish and reasonable business decision to make?
I wouldn't say anything until we find out some more information, and we definitely shouldn't jump the gun until someones actually played the damn game next week.
And btw, Konami are releasing 5 games, out of 12, in this next fin. year for the 3DS. http://www.konami.co.jp/en/ir/ir-data/meeting/2011/0512.pdf (page 7)
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
