"January 22, 2006 - Grasshopper Manufacturer's Gouichi Suda (aka Suda 51) has once again made reference to his support for Nintendo's Revolution console. At the "Hopper's Vol.1 25H Our Party People" event held in Tokyo's Shibuya Ward on a snowy Saturday evening, Suda confirmed that work on a Revolution project has already started at his studio. He would not reveal details beyond this.
Suda has been pretty vocal about his support for the Revolution. Back in October of last year, he became one of the first Japanese producers to confirm a project for the system, promising an extreme game that makes full use of the system's controller.
The Shibuya event was also attended by Konami's Hideo Kojima, producer of the Metal Gear series, and Kazutoshi Iida, creator of Doshin the Giant. The three developers held a talk event in which Suda revealed that Kojima's Snatcher and games developed by Sega's Yu Suzuki were what got him into gaming. Kojima recalled that people didn't understand why he was spending so much effort creating Snatcher's world, with one superior even confronting him as he headed out to the library to do research. He also mentioned that Snatcher was originally set to be called "Junker," but Konami was unable to use that name because it had already been taken by a mahjong title.
The dialogue turned to adventure games in general, with Kojima mentioning that he had previously played Twilight Syndrome, which Suda developed while he was working at Human. Iida, asked if he was interested in working on an adventure game, mentioned that he had already created a title for From Software's Adventure Player for the PSP.
The three closed off the talk session by joking about working together on an adventure game. With Kojima himself having previously expressed strong interest in the Revolution, perhaps Nintendo fans can expect a dream collaboration for the new system."
I wander what game its going to be?
Sorry if this is old.
