@capntommorgan: Who in their right mind would wanna get bonned by Kojima?!?!?!
Look at his face, he ain't no Brad Pitt. The thing with affairs is you usually wanna have an affair with someone better looking than your spouse not worse.
@noctisumbra: Wouldn't have noticed that considering how many times his name appears on the game. Twice in the beginning of each stage, and once in the end of each mission. About 600 times over the course of the entire game.
@chibi-acer: Pulling out of tripe A doesn't mean they don't want to make $$$ off of MGS, mobile games, pachinko machine, instant Ramen, Ice Cream, Shoes, Jackets, Underwear, there are literally millions of ways to cash in on MGS.
Notice how over the years, MGS got more and more associated with Kojima Productions rather than Konami, that's the problem. The franchise belongs to Konami not Kojima.
Notice how Mario belongs to Nintendo and not Miyamoto Productions, and Virtua Fighter belongs to Sega and not Suzuki Productions. That's how its supposed to be in Japan, the creator is supposed to play second fiddle to the company not the opposite way around.
Its obvious Konami feels that Kojima hijacked their franchise. Konami owns MGS for better or for worse, not Kojima. Just like how Nintendo owns Mario, not MIyamoto. and Sega owns Virtua Fighter not Yu Suzuki, etc, etc, etc.
Corporations get very upset when their IPs are hijacked by the people involved in the creatives of the IP.
Its obvious now Konami wants Kojima to be as far away from MGS franchise as possible, since they have plans on cashing in on the MGS franchise on all platforms including Slot Machines, Pachinko, instant Ramen, Mobile Phones, and god knows what.
Bottom line Konami wants their IP back, and Kojima is in the way. They want MGS to be a Konami Product again, not a Kojima product.
@j12456788: All rumors come from some truth, considering how all the orders have already been placed at Foxconn, it's hardly a secret to insiders. Almost everyone at Foxconn know what the NX is, they are just abiding by Nintendo gag order. But if you check Chinese forums, you'll see that tons of people are saying that the NX is a hybrid handheld.
Its a hybrid home console that can play games on the Tablet and still stream visuals to the TV.
Basically a mobile Wii U Gamepad that contains the console inside the Gamepad.
Love how they keep dancing around the subject and just referring to it as New Experience.
Its a damn Tablet Gamepad that can connect to your TV, nothing special.
Considering how cheap Tablets have become, and the lack of a Rom Drive, these things will be extremely cheap to produce, and extremely high in profit margin, which explains why Nintendo can ship out such massive quantities at launch.
