Aye Carumba!
Konami brought many great, well-known beat-'em-ups to the arcades in the late 80's and early 90's, and all of them but one have made a transition to home consoles. Yes, The Simpsons Arcade Game is the last and perhaps best classic Konami beat-'em-up to be brought back, and for those who've played all the other classic Konami titles to death, there's enough variance and originality here to keep players hooked.
Despite sounding great on paper, NeverDead fails in its execution.
I don’t even know which direction to start ripping NeverDead to pieces from first. From the uneven repetitive combat to the unbearably frustrating “health” system, this action game is an absolute disaster.
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).

The port of Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater to the Nintendo 3DS was originally set to be released this December. Then it was announced at the Tokyo Game Show 2011 that it had been delayed to "early 2012." That's an ambiguous term, but now we have a actual release date.
Hideo Kojima has revealed his plans for the fifth installment in the series.
In the newest issue of Official PlayStation Magazine UK, Hideo Kojima revealed his plans for Metal Gear Solid 5. Konami has not confirmed the development of the game but I doubt they won't want to move forward with a sequel to one of the biggest franchises in video games.
Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, all in HD, all in one collection.
