Now I'm going by you guys...but I hope this is either a new MGS or a remake of the NES games, because I've already played MGS on the PC, and it wasn't that great. It was good, but not awesome, but that's probably because I just played through it last year. Anyway, I'm just happy to see some support from Konami. I really don't know why I'm even speaking like it's coming out already. But I like to be positive I guess. If this game does come out make sure all you guys buy it (I definitely will) because maybe then Konami will start making some other games for GC. Castlevania and Contra perhaps...? I think GC is really starting to turn around, right when it looked like GC was going the way of the Dreamcast...

i really hope this is a new game too. im sick of getting ports like 10 billion years (dramatization, may not have happened) after they were initially released.

I hope it gets the NES Metal Gear as an unlockable

Other than that i got no requests

check the news, it is OFFICIAL, and has new missions, could this be a new installment in the seires. But hey, it is on PGC, so it MUST BE FOR REAL. Hooray earth.

You guys will note that PGC cited Nintendophiles who cited the, yep, you guessed it, our favorite Konami message board admin.

Not saying PGC is half-assing it- by no means, they were almost certainly checking the credability of the story, but it's interesting we had this guy under our noses for like a month.

I am just so happy about this. MGS is another one of thos great games that can be mature, but have little violence. I am so very excited, by the way, while typing this, I have seen my 50th Zelda commercial.

As for a Wrinkle in Time, I was forced to read that in gradeschool, and I remember hating it. At any rate, I do understand your point, as Watership Down was a children's book that I loved, and I know many other adults who love it as well. And believe me, I do get your point on the games too. But as far as games rated E always being kiddy, that's not true. A game can only be Kiddy if it is on a Nintendo system. Look at all the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro fans after all. (Or better yet: Kingdom Hearts.)

Grey, as usual, your insights are astounding. Nintendo's got a lot of misrepresentation to fight against, for sure.

Too bad you had to read "Wrinkle in Time" in school. It sucks when that happens. Maybe it's just unlikable for you, but school reading tends to be pretty hard on almost any literature today. Know what I'm saying? That said, I had pretty good luck my first year of teaching last year with Seamus Heaney's "Beowulf" and Bradbury's completely awesome "Fahrenheit 451." If you didn't like "Beowulf," it's probably because you read it in school, and it's now time for you to buy Heaney's new version and approach like a newborn babe finding his mother's milk. Okay, that's just wrong, but you catch me, I think.

I'm glad you like the way I think.

I left the last board I was a member of because my ideas became too unpopular with the Sony fans of the board, and I got into a direct conflict with an admin because of it. (He was posting things that he knew weren't true as obvious flame bait. I got sick and tired of it one day, requested that my post count be cut to zero, changed my password to gibberish, and walked out. This is where I turned up.).

As for the book, yes, it probably was because I learned it in school, but I am not really a fan of the classics either. I mostly only like the contemporary literature, and I haven't read anything at all in years, although I do mean to read Return of the King one of these days.

One exception to that though is Edgar Allen Poe. I first read Poe in high school, and I actually really enjoyed it. It was twisted and well written enough that I could get around it being taught in school. I really respect Poe's work.

Guys, I'm totally excited about this!!!! I have both MGS's and I must say that Metal Gear has to be one of my favorite game series of all time. I've heard rumors that this was going to be a remake of MGS. I'm not sure, but I would love a totally original MGS title for GCN. Maybe Kojima is having second thoughts about dissing the GCN. If an MGS title does well for the GCN, maybe we'll see more support from Konami. If we can get as much support from Konami like we do Capcom, the GCN may gain some much needed market share. Maybe we'll even see some games like a new Contra or Devil May Cry for GCN. I think that Japanese developers are the key to GCN's success. I don't mind since I'm also a big Sony fan, but Nintendo is my console company of choice and anything like this would be great news.

On a side note, I regard Kojima as a genius with games, but Miyamoto is god-like.

i grabbed my heart when i read pgc. I hope this is true. PGC doesnt report shit, and i trust their reputation. This is still a little shakey...but yeah. Fuckign tight. Maybe the new logo is a good thing. I would say it looks nicer next to the nintendo logo.

ArtVandelay · « **Reply #86 on:** February 27, 2003, 07:20:54 PM »

It might not even be Metal Gear Solid. The guy did just say "a metal gear game". If it's an all new one, then Konami better not make some stupid storyline about Snakes Summer Vacation. They better finally give us some respect. Any way around it, if this turns out to be what we're all hoping for, then if it sells damn well (which it probably will) Konami will no doubt bust out Castlevania and a crap load of awesome titles. I'm just waitin on Turtles in Time Cubed.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #87 on:** February 27, 2003, 07:23:18 PM »

The administrator just posted again. He said it was probably a safe bet that the game was GameCube exclusive. I think it's about time to rub it all in the Xbox fans' faces... hehe. (Childish I know, but there's nothing I like better than showing up a Microsoft Fanboy.)

I tell you right now though. Crappy or not, I am buying this game, just to show my support for GameCube, and Konami's return. I suggest you all do the same.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #88 on:** February 27, 2003, 09:24:12 PM »

The Magic Box reports that it is an unconfirmed rumor that a remake of MGS is coming to all consoles, including GameCube, but right now I would have to say that my money is on the Konami board administrator for having good information. He says it's a good bet that it's GameCube exclusive.

Mario · « **Reply #89 on:** February 28, 2003, 12:07:41 AM »

HOLY DUNG BEETLES! I just left the board for a few days and i come back to see that one of my favourite games ever is coming to Gamecube!!! And Miyamoto has something to do with it! Wouldnt it be awesome to use the GC/GBA link cable in Metal Gear cubed?? You could drop spy cameras on the cube and on the gba you can see throught them, ooohhhh there are so many awesome GBA link possibilities, it makes my head spin. Nintendo Gamecube now has Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Mario Kart, Metroid and Metal Gear Solid. Now all we need is GTA...

The new Konami logo is a disaster. How could they have gotten rid of the odd, yet funky, red and orange 'thing'?
And what about the classic Konami jingle that plays when the logo rolled out on screen?

Screw MGS, I want the old Konami logo back!
*Cries like a girl*

IGN now state is as fact, they dont however say if its exclusive, but they dont talk about other systems either.

bryanee · « **Reply #92 on:** February 28, 2003, 02:33:26 AM »

sum websites say that shigsy is helpin konami with this so if this part is true i think its a safe bet that its exclusive cuz i dont see him workin on a multiplatform title and plus as a chap sed above the admin at konami sed its more than likely exclusive to cube.

GoldShadow · « **Reply #93 on:** February 28, 2003, 05:21:57 AM »

This is cool. I just hope it's a new game or at least a MGS2 port instead of a MGS remake. Metal Gear Solid was a fun game, but I already beat it. I want something new.

Anyway, I'd have to agree that both Watership Down and Fahrenheit 451 are *excellent* books. I love Ray Bradbury's surreal style and Richard Adams's great sense of legend. I never read A Wrinkle In Time, though.

NNCubed · « **Reply #94 on:** February 28, 2003, 05:31:50 AM »

KIK A$$!! Ive been gone for a while and look what pops up

. It is quiet obvious that the title is exclusive, would Nintendo be working on it too if it wasn't?-No. Then i wonder about the MGS remake thats going multiplatform, guess thats true but I'll wait till Konami gives a go. In the end I would asume that this title isnt a port but a new epsiode, a side-story actually. I couldnt see the point in having 2 MGS remakes on the GC so. I'll definately be buying this one up, I wonder how far along they are. A well, bout time Konami got its head out of its a$$...

Hell, yeah.

Shiggy did help with the Smuggler's run game that ended up being for the PS2. Just because he is helping with it doesn't mean its exclusive. It just gives it a good chance to be.

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #97 on:** February 28, 2003, 07:57:47 AM »

shiggy did help on smugglers run?
on such a crappy game?
are you kidding me?

ThePerm · « **Reply #98 on:** February 28, 2003, 09:17:09 AM »

KONAMl Look its the old logo!

i was just saying that since the logo is red and black and nintendo's is red in black they might look really cool together. And when did you hear shiggy worked on smugglers run?

bryanee · « **Reply #99 on:** February 28, 2003, 09:28:59 AM »

since when has shigsy worked on smugglers run
