What major IP's do Konami have? I can only think of MGS, PES and Zone of the Enders...

Castlevania? Contra?



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

Be the ultimate ninja! Play Billy Vs. SNAKEMAN today! Poisson Village welcomes new players.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

MGS 5!!!!!!!!

 

 


(Mini Game Series 5)



PC + Wii owners unite.  Our last-gen dying platforms have access to nearly every 90+ rated game this gen.  Building a PC that visually outperforms PS360 is cheap and easy.    Oct 7th 2010 predictions (made Dec 17th '08)
PC: 10^9
Wii: 10^8

The EA game they are talking about is either the Nascar Kart game or Boom Blox 2.



A new 2D Castlevania, please...tired of seeing them only on handhelds.



While you guys are discussing Konami, I'm more curious about EA.

The biggest sensation by far would be a new Ultima RPG (10 years after the last offline Ultima).

I bet it will be something more obvious though, such as Burnout or another Godfather.

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Hmm wonder what they could be. They say based off current IPs as they don't make it sound like they are new ones. I'm sure one of the Konami ones is Elebits 2, which is great. But we know that one already so it's doubtful those are the ones they are talking about.

I'm actually kind of curious.

Isn't Elebits 2 on the DS?

Contra.  Perfect for that Retro loving Wii crowd. (If it's 2D....)

Suikoden.  Which was rumored on the Wii before.

Castlevania... (non fighter please.)

I hope not.  I could name like a dozen Konami franchises i'd rather have.

Wonder if we could get a Hybrid Heaven 2.
