An expired license is said to be the culprit.
The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the Nintendo Entertainment System used to be available on the Wii Virtual Console. Unfortunately, due to an "expired license", that's no longer the case as the title has been removed from the service.
Farewell, MGO. We barely knew ye. Really.
Konami has announced that it's going to shut down Metal Gear Online on June 12, 2012. The online combat game has been running since 2008. The company has released a shut down schedule for the game.
A change in leadership has been implemented.
Konami announced via a press release that Tomoyuki Tsuboi has been promoted to President of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. The former president, Shinji Hirano, will step down and will be President of Konami Digital Entertainment, GmbH (Europe).
We'll have a hands-on in June. Plus, the mystery director has been revealed.
It’s been a whirlwind of news revolving around Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. After it’s announced rebranding and reveal of development by Platinum games at the Spike TV VGAs, Hideo Kojima has gone on a massive PR-like tour. He’s been seen in publications all over the world lately, and in the newest Famitsu, he revealed some interesting news about the new action game.
It's a shift in a very positive direction.
The 3DS version of Snake Eater has been moved around quite a bit since its announcement at the 2011 Tokyo Game Show. Originally scheduled for a December 2011 release, the game was pushed back to March 8, 2011 in November to iron out some bugs and prep the game to be compatible with Nintendo’s Circle Pad Pro. Now the date is shifting again, but this time it’s going in a much more favorable direction.
Gamers will have to wait a bit longer for these HD remakes.
Konami has confirmed that the Silent Hill HD Collection has been delayed to March 6, 2012 after retailers Amazon, GameFly, and GameStop changed the launch dates on their websites.
Is Kojima working on a new IP, or is this MGS 5? Place your bets now!
As Hideo Kojima continues his press tour to talk about the new Platinum Games rework of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, he took a little time to tease something new. The Metal Gear creator has a reputation for being cryptic and playful with fans and press alike, so take what you’re about to see with a grain of salt. But there’s a chance that the pictures Mr. Kojima showed on his Twitter could very well be a peek at his next project.
Kojima Productions is understaffed and working on other projects right now, but it's something he has in mind.
Hideo Kojima is a legend in game design, but he’s had a hard time getting away from his most successful franchise, Metal Gear. Since 1987, Kojima has done almost exclusively games that center around the adventures of his beloved character Snake (in various incarnations) and, even though he’s tried to pass the series on to the next generation of Konami designers, he keeps getting pulled back. But that’s not to say that Kojima hasn’t been about to branch out a bit over the years. You may remember his portable game Boktai, which had a direct sequel and a DS follow-up called Lunar Knights. No? Well, you certainly remember Zone of the Enders. You know…the game that was included free with the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo? Despite having that moniker for years, ZoE has its share of dedicated fans, and they will be happy to hear that the series isn’t far from Kojima’s thoughts.
Kojima also confirmed this title's place in the story arc.
Metal Gear Solid: Rising has been missing in action for over a year. Suddenly, at this past weekend's VGAs, it was revealed that the game now carries a new name, a new story, and a new developer. As it turns out, in the year the game has been missing, it has been through some extreme turmoil. For a brief time, it had been cancelled by Hideo Kojima.
Raiden's latest chapter will be even more over the top than expected.
At tonight's VGA awards, it was revealed that Metal Gear Solid Rising will now be known by a different name - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. In addition to the name change, development was also handed to a different studio. Taking the helm is Platinum Games, known for their over the top style as demonstrated in Bayonetta, Vanquish, and Madworld.
