Forums - Nintendo - If Gamecube had a MGS, why not the Wii?

Keep_the_change on 01 June 2009

Gamecube.

The worst selling console last gen with its ridiculous market share saw a release of Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes. And it was not a port or half assed spin-off. It was a remake straight from the main series!!! It got 85 on metacritic so it was a very good game!

It was made by the same developer of Eternal Darkness - Silicon Knights - but hell, it was a Konami and Kojima Productions franchise no matter what, they just put SK in charge of the game.

Which I don't understand is if Gamecube with a 20 million (more or less) userbase at the time it got a MGS remake straight from the main series, why doesn't Wii have one episode with its 50% market share?

Can you imagine Otacon giving you instructions via wiimote speaker?

Or 1:1 knife action?

IR gun pointing?

 

Just why Kojima???

Honestly, I think it got put on the Gamecube because it was the most technically superior console last gen (I think it was more powerful than Xbox anyway?) .

If Nintendo wants it, they're gonna have to pay for it. It's that simple. Because of their huge succes, they might not see the need for it.

The Xbox was more powerfull. But the Gamecube was still capable of very great things.

Uhuh... it wasn't. Although, it's not too far technically if you compare both consoles' best looking games.

Because Sony bought exclusivity of MGS4.

Maybe future MGS or MG games would appear on other platforms, but right now I'm guessing Sony's got rights to the next few.

(Regardless of what Kojima thinks, Konami green lights, publishes, markets and distributes his games. They control him, he doesn't control them. So only Sony is preventing these games from being released else where and good on them for doing that, they're creating a competitive advantage for themselves).

Right that's why there that piece of crap called MGS on iPhone with pre-rendered horrible 2D graphics. And a Metal Gear Mobile for the N-gage platform cell phones.
