Hideo Kojima, before the Wii launched, thought it was an interesting console that unfortunately used past concepts. However, once it launched, it was safe to say he became a small fan, even getting his A-lister Solid Snake into Nintendo's interactive almanac, Super Smash Brothers Brawl. I just want to have a brief recap of his sentiments in the past, and what they can mean now.

CVG: Can you see people using the Wii controller to play as Snake at some point in the future?

Kojima: I haven't thought about Snake with the Wii controller - I think about completely different things. If I created something for Wii, I would like to create something entirely different to a normal FPS. I don't mind using the MGS world as a theme but currently I'm not thinking about that. I'd like to give Wii users a new experience - I think the Wii controller can be used in more innovative and fun ways.

CVG: What are your impressions of Nintendo Wii and how did Snake appear in Smash Brothers?

Kojima: I've played Tennis, Zelda and Mario on Wii (....) I'm very interested in creating something for the Wii. I'd like to run away from MGS 4 creation and create something for the Wii but unfortunately, I don't have anything that I can announce at the moment (Remember, this was 2006) . I have lots of ideas for Wii but I have a heavy schedule with MGS 4 and Metal Gear Online. Concerning Snake's appearance on Wii in Smash Brothers, I'm friends with the designer of the game and I thought it would be nice if you could play as Snake - when I heard about the new game last year, I contacted the designer and we started working together.

....What about the Wii?!

Kojima: Wii! [laughs] Yes, I want to do it. I'm saying this everyday. But first, I have to face this giant that is called Metal Gear Solid 4, so until I'm finished with that, I can't do anything.

Kotaku: But the Wii isn't HD! It doesn't have 4D!!

Kojima: We're not the ones who are saying we want HD. I'm not interested, myself, about HD at all. MGS games tend not to care about how clean the screen looks...we deliberately make the graphics look dirtier to give the atmosphere more life.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

So what I take from this, is despite what most people say about MGS4, the graphical aspect is more of Kojima pushing the system the game is on to its limits, rather than choosing the PS3 specifically because it had the graphics he needed the most. I could be wrong, and I am not trying to downplay MGS4 in any way, just a thought. So I wouldn't put it past him to have a Wii-oriented MGS. There was one on the GC and now on the iPhone after all.

Now that it is 2009, about 1 year after MGS4's release (funny looking back), Kojima has another MGS in the works, but he isn't as involved in this as he was with MGS4. Maybe with the extra time on his hands, he could work on that Wii game he wanted to so much, or maybe he is working on it now. Who knows, we could get a Project M part 2, or should I say Project S...........

My eyes!!!

Sorry ,the Opera Browser ignored my paragraph breaks. Had to go back to Firefox and edit.

Kojima will never make a game for Wii...... unless Konami lets him

.........How did you get that from the quotes I listed? It isn't like Konami OWNS him.......

i dont see why konami wouldnt... and besides, theyre only kojima's publisher, not the owner of kojima productions (plus, kojima used to be their vice president

Konami does not own him, but it's their only publisher so far. Konami has other plans for him like Castlevania so he's always busy.... I've been waiting for a Wii game and now all hopes are lost.

probably he will work on a Wiiware game or DS game

interesting, but seeing as how Kojima productions has their hands pretty full right now I don't see a wii game happening for a long time
