Just saw this article Metal Gear Informer - http://www.metalgearinformer.com/?p=29546

Where a twitter user asked Denis Dyack (former president of Silicon Knights) if it would be possible to get Twin Snakes.

He replied with a simple "Yes"

Thus hinting more at Gamecube emulation for switch is coming?

backflip me over a missile if old

 

[Shaanyboi]

Weren't Nintendo themselves involved or am I imagining that?

 

[Naked Snake]

Weren't Nintendo themselves involved or am I imagining that?

Nintendo owned Silicon Knights... I think?

 

[LordKano]

What about Shadow of Eternals tho

 

[Seik]

I'd buy this in an instant, though I'm in the dozen of people that love Twin Snakes. :lol

 

[BY2K]

Why do I feel like he's lying?

I mean, they'd still need Konami's OK, right?

 

[EvilKatarn]

He's said it before.

Also Dyack says a lot of things. Dude's a clown.

Also please don't port Twin Snakes to anything ever.

 

[Guymelef]

Nintendo owned Silicon Knights... I think?

No.

He knows nothing btw.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Konami and Nintendo are kinda close...so if thise two companies can work something out - sure. Doubt Dyack would be involved lol.

Dont read too much into it - thats like sayin Onimusha 2 port to Switch would be possible..sure it is but it wont happen.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Snake in smash

 

[Betty]

He just wants to be relevant again, it'll never happen.

Snake can come back for Smash though... please.

 

[LordOcidax]

Denis Dyack....Eeee...Not going to happen guys.

 

[Naked Snake]

No.

What was their relationship? Did they just make games exclusively for GameCube at the time?

 

[Svejk]

Good luck with that.

 

[Smooth Operator]

 

[Lime]

Denis Dyack is so relevant in today's games industry that he courts gamer bigots like Gamergate because they're the only ones in gaming who would want to listen to him.

 

[Shiggy]

He's not lying here. It's possible.

But it's doubtful that he'd know or would be involved. Nintendo didn't even bother helping Silicon Knights despite having a stake in the firm.

 

[CHC]

Denis Dyack.

 

[VolticArchangel]

TTS is owned by a company that's, lol, let's just leave it at that...

 

[The Giant]

I hope so. It's a great game. Screw the haters.

 

[old manatee]

I hated Twin Snakes and quit partway through, then I played OG MGS and couldn't stop playing until I beat it.

 

[Jakoo]

I think Dyack will say anythings possible to strum up business of any kind. What project has he delivered as of late?

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

This just feels like something that could happen with little legal problem but has no chance of actually happening. Just like Suikoden VI.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

I like twin snakes. Never got the haters.

 

[Ydelnae]

I mean, it's also possible that Konami would remake MGS4 from the ground up to allow it to be ported to other systems. But that possiblity is something like 0,00000001% percent.

 

[UCBooties]

Don't believe his lies.

He just knows that Twin Snakes and Eternal Darkness on the GC were the last time that anyone took him or his company seriously.

 

[@MUWANdo]

Why do I feel like he's lying?

I mean, they'd still need Konami's OK, right?

He's not lying but he knows nothing and has absolutely no bearing on whether it will or won't happen.

 

[Keyouta]

I'd like to get MGSV on the Switch if it was a good port.

 

[Morts]

I like twin snakes. Never got the haters.

Same.

 

[groansey]

 

[-shadow-]

Unless it's through the VC, that's not happening.

 

[fireflame]

MGS4 needs new ports(and why not PC+ Switch port).

 

[hidys]

I don't want to dogpile on the dude but I do need something more concrete than the word of Denis Dyack to even consider getting excited for this.

 

[Storm360]

I mean its possible... But is it likely? No.

 

[Randomizer]

Lol I wouldn't listen to or trust a word out of Dyak's mouth.

 

[Emhemed]

I wouldn't trust a word that comes out of that guy's mouth. I don't think he has a saying in the matter anyway.
If there is going to be something about Twin Snakes on the Switch we would hear it from someone at Konami or Nintendo, not Dyack!

 

[BrettHeazy]

so going off this threads views on Dan.

"is there a possibility a switch can be played on mars through the power of the sun alone"
"yes"

it's possible, until proven wrong right?

 

[faridmon]

Its just Denis Dyack trying to be relevant again.

Complete non-story

 

[Shaanyboi]

I'd like to get MGSV on the Switch if it was a good port.

It most assuredly wouldn't be.

 

[Bishop89]

anything is possible.

Its also possible for nintendo to release mario on the ps4.

 

[usp84]

Of all the games i wanted to see news for the Switch i see this one.

This is worse than no game

 

[Ban Puncher]

Dennis Dyack?

 

[brandonh83]

I'd buy it if it would switch to the original.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

What was their relationship? Did they just make games exclusively for GameCube at the time?

They had an exclusivity deal with Nintendo. Nintendo funded and published Eternal Darkness. Konami, Nintendo, and SK partnered to create The Twin Snakes.

So, if GameCube Virtual Console on Switch is actually a thing, I don't see why this couldn't be released at some point. Not sure how much information Dyack would actually have on this though.

 

[Corpekata]

Can't tell if OP is really unaware of Dyack and his history or trying to massage the truth a bit to make it seem like this is actually noteworthy and close to reality.

 

[BGBW]

Nothing's impossible, Mario. Improbable, Unlikely, but never impossible.

 

[blamite]

I'd really rather not!

Although if it meant Snake could come back to Smash...

 

[jediyoshi]

Thus hinting more at Gamecube emulation for switch is coming?

This is literally nothing. Re-read the question, OP.

The person is asking if there's a chance, as in, if it could happen. It's 0 indication of anything actually happening.

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

I hated Twin Snakes and quit partway through, then I played OG MGS and couldn't stop playing until I beat it.

Twin Snakes was freaking terrible, and I absolutely loved the PS1 Metal Gear Solid.

 

[Mechanized]

I like twin snakes. Never got the haters.

Because it's so unrealistic and anime, way too over the top. MGS is a series steeped in complete realism after all. BRB gotta fight a fire zombie conjured by hatred manifested into reality by a telepathic kids mind.
