Well, the trend in this case is very clear. Huge budget games going to the HD platforms, while the DS is getting a lot of high profile games. Wii is getting the smaller series/new IP's, while PSP isn't getting anything.

Things to note. Konami's next big project, Lords of Shadow is exclusive to the HD platforms. Looks to be an ambitious project. On the HD frontside, PS3 seems to be getting more exclusive and major content, but I expect that to end once the "Existance" or however it's called, version of MGS4 gets released. If there's a MGS5, it'll obviously gonna get released on both platforms. I still believe that some day, we will see MGS4 on the 360.

JRPG's seem to be going to the DS, and I think it's because of the huge userbase + too much risk to do it on the HD platforms. PSP is getting no further love from Konmai thus far.

Wii is getting sequels to not so popular games and a WiiWare retro revival, and I didn't include PES 09, because the game has already been released on the HD platforms, so it shouldn't count only because the game got delayed 8 months.

Last thought. Konami is no longer as big as it used to be. In fact, it's turning into a really small dev, not capable of having more than a couple games in production and their quality is diminishing tremendously. no wonder stuff like Hell Boy, Rock Revolution have bombed and received terrible reviews.

Previous Editions: SE Edition, Capcom Edition

Kororinpa 2. This is all that matters.

Sounds Intriguing.

When is Castlevania scheduled for release?

You missed Castlevania Judgment and Elebits 2 for the Wii.

@Chrizum: Castlevani Judgment is already out. Elebits 2, when was it announced?

ohh do Ubisoft next trestres!!!!!

@Glory: That's not a big dev ;)

Lol, I will. Namco Bandai, EA, Ubisoft, SEGA, Activision all coming up.

Since when is Konami a big dev haha. And maybe you should include Elebits 2 for the Wii if we are going off half confirmed/half rumored games like ya did with the MGS4 thingy.

But yea Konami at least being real about what it can output.

Konami waas always a big dev. Since when was Konami not big -.-

At least they were one of the biggest in the last gens. But about Elebits 2, where's a link to any rumour or anything?
