What can I say. I'm speechless. (Only if it were true.) What really surprised me is that Silicon Knights is developing it, so their mystery game truely was a surprise. If Nintendo has anything left after this they will have E3. The first solid game is the best of the two, and the fact that my sister lent it to someone who promptly moved and left no forwarding address means I will be the first in line to get this title.

NOOOOO. I mean, yeh, this is great for people who like Metal Gear Solid. But ... I don't. And that was Silicon Knight's secret game??? NOOOOO.

Oh well.... There's always Too Human.

Is there anything at E3 that's going to be a surprise? Not just on Gamecube but on any console? It seems like lately every company has revealed their lineup.

Well this confirms that it's a remake ("combines the thrilling story of the original Metal Gear Solid game") but that's not really that bad since I never played the original and a remake is better than a port of MGS2. Plus with a new name the average gamer probably won't know it's a remake so it's not like that will hurt sales or anything. To the general public it's a new Metal Gear game for the Gamecube.

Silicon Knights' involvement is quite unexpected and in a way disappointing. Not because I don't think they're a good fit but I wanted to see something original from them. Like Retro Studios they're a relatively new Nintendo developer and I want to see what else they've got up their sleeve. Therefore it's disappointing that both SK and Retro are working with existing franchises. Plus SK is best at creating stories and with MGS the story is already written.

Of course one good thing about SK's involvement is that a remake shouldn't take long so we should be able get Too Human even quicker than if they were working on something else. We get Too Human and Metal Gear which is a pretty good combo.

I am very happy to see Nintendo making so many deals with third parties like this. If they can make deals to get these sort of collaborations available at their next console's launch they will have a big advantage.

i for one am trully exicted. I am sure that SK will put some new spice to the seires. It is a remake dont forget, there doing it all over from the ground up. Expect big big things from this game.If these graphics trully do parallel RE:remake as they say, then it is going to be unbelievable. I mean we trully are having a treat with this.

I have to agree with a lot of these posts so far. How ever much I like SK, WTF? Why isn't Konami doing it (I guess did we really believe they would make a game for GC that didn't have Mickey in it)? I said it before but I did NOT want MGS on GC to be developed by Nintendo in any way. Plus it just means SK time spent on this and not some other new or Too Human game.

Then again since it really is just a remake, I don't care either way.

Looks like Nintendo's second golden age is upon us!!!

"Why won't Konami make MGS for GC?!"

"WTF! MGS REMAKE! NINTENDO IS INVOLVED! AND SO IS SILICON KNIGHTS! WTF ARE THEY DOING?!"

This proves my point that people always need to bitch about Nintendo.

Fast forward to the year 2003, and things have suddenly changed. A few months ago Mr. Miyamoto let it slip that there was indeed a Metal Gear Solid game in development for GameCube. Since then everyone has been wondering if this title is an entirely new game, a port of MGS2: SoL, or a remake of the original Metal Gear Solid.

It's understandable how much Nintendo will be pushing this title, as it marks the first time since the NES that the Metal Gear series has graced a Nintendo console.

Game Boy is not a console. A console sits on a shelf.

Seriosuly, what's all the fuss about Silicon Knights making MGS:TS? It's OBVIOUS SK is an extremely talented developer (and if you think ED's their only style, you're sorely mistaken), Dyack is a huge Metal Gear fan (he cares about the series probably more than you do), AND Hideo Kojima, the series's creator, is supervising the whole thing, WITH his slef-proclaimed mentor in game design, our beloved Miyamoto. If there's anything wrong with that, please tell me now.

Knowing Nintendo's love of hideing old games in new ones we may see the orginal in some form on it especially if the GBA is involved. I'm very excited that Silicon Knights is involved it means that the proper attention will be pay to it and it frees up Konami and Nintendo to do other things. The down side to this is it means we have to wait longer for Too Human.

.... And since it called Twin Snakes they may make a form of the game as an introduction, who knows these questions should be answered by E3.

Yes, I've seen the banner, thank you very much. But it isn't the case just here, but EVERYWHERE. For as long as I can remember, people have been complaining, hoping for a Metal Gear/Metal Gear Solid game on the GC. Now, they're getting one, and all anyone can do is complain that three great developers are working together on it. If anything, we should be GLAD that SK is also working on it: Do you have any idea how much more work can get done more quickly with three companies working together? There's no reason to complain, people. I don't see anyone going "Skies of Arcadia sequel is going to slow down Virtua Fighter Quest!!! WHAT IS SEGA DOING?!" Every time Nintendo delivers, people just complain: As I've already stated, this case with MGS on GC, and another recent example is Mother 3: People had been complaining for YEARS about not getting a Mother 3, and then when recently it was announced, everyone just got upset about the fact that it was on GBA, and not on GC. I guarantee if it were on GC in 3-d, there'd be just as many people complaining that Mother should always be in 2-D. I guess people will never shut up until Nintendo becomes the leader in userbase, again. :/

Exactly Gaimeguy: there's absolutely no reason to complain. If antyhing, this is BETTER than any of us had hoped for.

Bilditup: Yes, Pikmin was the only new franchise, but Nintendo's already got more franchises than any other developer could handle. The new installments to their currents games have innovated (SMS, WW, MP, Mario Kart, just about all of them). Funny how it's always people complaining that Nintendo's not innovating when I don't see MS or Sony doing any better of a job.

I SO wish that that this forum didn't censor profanity. I have so much profanity I want to say right now, but can't say because the damn censor won't allow it. Suffice it to say that it's happy swearing though.

This is TOTALLY AWESOME news. It might not be a great seller to the PS2 or Xbox crowd, but you can be sure that this title just hit really high in my most wanted list. This game is like a dream for me. I am looking forward to it so much you would not believe it. A next-gen Metal Gear Solid remake on a NINTENDO system is just REALLY COOL! I don't have to worry about the game being crappy, as Metal Gear Solid is freaking awesome. I am almost jumping for joy right now.

THIS IS GREAT!!!!!

A remake is nice... but... what happened to new-makes? Did I miss when those went out of style? So much time and effort invested to deliver a game pretty similar to the original. It's such a weird trend the past two or three years. Yeah, financially it sort of makes sense, especially for big-budget titles like MGS where the planning and design work alone probably cost as much as this remake will to produce, but still... why can't we have something ENTIRELY new? I'm not bitching for the sake of bitching, but everyone applauds seeing the same game they saw years ago, like the idea of getting a completely new game is so far out it just can't be done. It's not just accepting and being thankful for getting the game, it gets APPLAUDED. That just... doesn't make sense to me.

Whatever you may feel about a remake of MGS1, it's still a good thing for Nintendo.. Now that the "Nintendo Trifecta" (Mario, Metriod, Zelda) is out, they need a big name or two to keep the public eye on them. Frankly, aside from GTA 3, there is NOTHING bigger as far as brand recognition then Metal Gear Solid. I, for one have NO problem with a revitited MGS1. A lot of people consider it to be a better GAME then MGS2 (i.e., better story, better characters, MORE gameplay time vs. cinematics), so this is cool.

Besides, who's to say Konami isn't planning to pull a GC Resident Evil and make some changes to the game to keep it somewhat new?

As far as Silicon Kinghts working on the game (that has me floored), judging from the brillliant work on ED (one of my favorite games of all time), it'll kick a$$. I also think that SK may have somethine else up their sleeves, but that's my opinion. Definitely a must purchase for myself at least.

Maybe it's just me...but does anyone find it funny that Miyamoto is overseeing such a violent game? OK, so it's not as gory as Eternal Darkness was...and he helped out with that....But if he doesn't have a problem lending some suggestions and whatnot to M rated games how come EAD is so afraid to make at least one game not rated E? Not that I want EAD to, but you'd think he wouldn't even get near such violent games

EAD isn't "afraid" of anything. It's just not THEIR style, that's all. You make what you know best.

That is the orginal purpose Nintendo added Retro and Silicon Knights, to make the T and M titles that some of the user base wanted and they are good at making these titles. So EAD could concentrate on the titles they make the best. They could make a title like Metal Gear Solid but I doubt it would have a ambeance that Silicon Knights could breath in such a title.

Think of it this way.

Would Stephen King be a good children's book writer?
Would Dr. Seuss make a good horror writer?
Would Disney make a good action movie?
Would Britney Spears make a good singer?

My point is that EAD doesn't make violent games. To do so would be to go against what they do best. We love EAD for their game making skill at what they do best, by making games for all ages.

what are yoiu talking about grey ninja! Dr seus books are scary as hell!

You got it right about Britney Spears!

I seen you stayed away from asking wheather Disney would make a horror more which they did. Even though it really hard to find it unedited version. (For some reason Disney seem ashamed they made this movie which is one of the only movies I have ever found scarry.) Some Thing Wicked This Way Comes is the only Disney movie before they bought Touch Stone Pictures (Yes Disney owns this movie house so in a way they do make some good action movies.) that recieved a Rating of R.
