Konami Rep Says 'I Hope We Earn You Back'

Put Mystical Ninja 64 Starring Goemon on Virtual Console / eShop and all will be forgiven.

At this point I think them signing Kojima back is more plausible than anything related to the Goemon franchise 😭

Man, there were so many great Kinami games on NES and SNES and then up to the MGSV fiasco. However I don't play pachinko and don't live in Japan to take advantage of Konami Gym network so I am out.
 
Give me a massive Castlevania collection with all the 2d games. Like, go all out. NES, Genesis, TurboGrafx, PS1, GBA, all of em.

It can just be unaltered roms, if there isn't a bad input delay I won't care.

Talk is so, so cheap. There is absolutely nothing in that crappy statement to indicate anything of substance. I'm past "I'll believe it when I see it" level and more like "I might believe it if it is released and others play and love it."

No exaggeration, they ruined every single scrap of goodwill that I might have ever given them, so to earn any trust back they are starting well below ground level.

Good luck.
 
I don't envy the Konami social media person, trying to keep the company looking somewhat decent despite repeated moves that are little more than sticking a middle finger at everyone and everything must be really tough.

That said, unless konami announces a ton of games (not pachinko!) that just isn't going to work for anybody.
 
Give Nintendo all the old shit you don't even bother using so they can use it only slightly more.

Because only then will Bomberman live again.
 
I have a feeling that Konami will do PS4/XB1 remasters of Metal Gear Solid 2, 3 & 4 rather than a brand new MGS game without Kojima. Which will be fine, but I don't know who they have that can replace Kojima.

If then do that then I would forgive them, also they should do it as well for PC.

Wouldn't they need to announce actual upcoming games to win people back?

Would that even matter though? Aside from MGSV all the recent entries in their other franchises have been shit for the most part. Considering just how much talent as left I can't imagine them doing anything worthwhile again. Konami can give me the last couple of Castlevania games that are missing VC releases and we can all go our separate ways if you ask me.

This would instantly remove any bad things konami did and give them an overflowing of good will.

Bullshit. After fucking over Kojima and his crew, and then doing an MGS3 remake? That's even worse. The only thing Konami could do worth anything would be self-sacrifice. Sell off Metal Gear, Silent Hill, Castlevania, and their other lingering properties to companies that give a shit beyond pachinko. But that's bad for their gambling market so that's never going to happen. Everything from this point on is a sucker game.

How could any of you actually fall for this? Really?

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Sell the Suikoden IP and I might forgive you.

Nah, I'd just hate you a little bit less
 
Imagine if they would make a Metal Gear legacy port (link) to current gen. I would buy it. It's a shame that you can only play the whole Metal Gear collection on PS3.
That said, just remake some of the Metal Gear games on the Fox engine.

They need to stop sitting on IP's. Contra, Goemon, Bomberman, Gradius/Parodius have been stagnent for way too long.

Unless Konami announces something themselves, they're dead to me. Keep making your shitty Pachinko/Pachislot crap.

Without Kojima I really don't care about MGS. And now that a lot of Silent Hill and Castlevania talent is out, I don't care for those games either. I just pray that Bloodstained is good.

If Konami actually cares then they should seriously consider finally getting Simon Belmont, Goemon, or Bomberman in Smash. I don't think they do but that would be a damn good first move.
