Nintendo has approached Kojima Productions about working on a title for the Wii U, the Metal Gear Solid studio has confirmed.

Creative producer Yoshikazu Matsuhana, the man responsible for the forthcoming MGS HD Collection and Snake Eater 3D, told Eurogamer that it was shown the console well in advance of Nintendo's E3 press conference yesterday, and is still weighing up how to best support the new platform.

"Obviously we did have talks with Nintendo early on – they approached us with the Wii U," he explained.

"We can't say exactly when this happened or what kind of talks we've had but we were aware of the hardware and we've been looking at it.

"We are very much thinking about possibilities with the Wii U and it looks like a very fun system. As for whether we'll have something at launch for the Wii – we can't say that. Probably not, but we definitely have things in mind.

"We're also looking at the public reaction. If there are enough people who say they want us to bring something to the Wii U that also factors into things."

Might Metal Gear Solid 5 be a nice fit for Nintendo's new machine perhaps? We tried and failed to tempt Matsuhana into dropping that particular bombshell.

"We anticipated we would get questions about this today and unfortunately our answer is, we can't answer that. We can't say anything right now. Top secret," he cheerfully responded.

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D is the next franchise title due out of Kojima Productions' door, with a late 2011 3DS launch planned.

Interesting.....

A Metal Gear game for WiiU would be sweet, but somehow I wish even more for some kind of Boktai game.

The key is disscussion there no real title revealed yet. Heck metal gear might not come to the wii U hell could be a new IP from kojima production or even zone of the enders 3.

Misleading title.

MGS4 Twin Towers

It will probably happen

I can only imagine the innovative ways the genius Kojima will come up with to utilise WiiU in MGS titles.

Maybe the controller can be used to have a birds eye view of all the enemies in the room, or to peek round a corner..who knows...Kojima does for sure!

I can imagine some genius uses of the 2nd screen in MGS games.

Imagine using it as the night vision googles, or perhaps just being less ambitious and using it for item/weapon management or perhaps freeing the TV from the mini map.

Would be interesting to see it used for an MGS game haha. I'm sure we'll learn more about Wii U games throughout the rest of the year, especially from the Japanese side during TGS and Nintendo's Fall conference.

I don't see them bringing MGS5 to the WiiU, but maybe a spinoff, or a remake of Peace Walker? Also, as others have said, they could use the controller in some unique ways

Why not?  MGS5 will be multi-plat if the rumors are true, and WiiU has the horses, so?
