Will Konami ever return to greatness?

if we look back into Konamis's 16bit days alot of the stuff they had was licensed, it was cool licensed stuff, but licensed nonetheless. I like the TMNT and Tiny Toon games myself. You take those away did they really have that much series for themselves? and which ones were really prominent?

Licensed games I remember were Tiny Toons, TMNT, Batman Returns and Animated Series, Animaniacs.... I don't remember more. Fortunately all of them were great games, unlike Ocean who also had a lot of licensed titles and they sucked.

But Konami had a lot of original games too: Contra, Castlevania, Sunset Riders, Lethal Enforcers, Sparkster, The Legend of the Mystilca Ninja, Gradius, Parodius, baseball games (in Japan), the ISSS series (now Pro evolution soccer).
