Hideo Kojima may be parting ways with Konami. In a recent fallout which led to restricted access to company resources, Kojima and key developers will have limited opportunities to promote Metal Gear 5. What’s Next For Hideo Kojima?
"If you were to ask someone to name the best 3D platformers for the Nintendo 64, most people will inevitably default to listing Super Mario 64 or Rare's many collectathons from the era. But there's another classic game that we feel is often overlooked when it comes to the systems' best titles and that we think deserves to be mentioned alongside these other titans of the platforming genre, one that captured our own imagination when we were a kid: Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon." - Jack Yarwood
I liked Mystical Ninja 64, but the real gem for me is Legend of the Mystical Ninja on SNES. It's one of my favorite SNES games, and actually makes my list of overall favorite games of all time. It was one of the first games that I remember that introduced co-op minigames. Seriously, I lost so many days of my life playing air hockey w friends. The co-op adventure was amazing from start to finish. Great pacing, great boss fights. I played through it so many times w different friends.
Either Nintendo needs to release these on Nintendo Switch Online, or Konami needs to put together a Goemon collection soon!
and what ost ! very cool melodies with addition of instrument tracks according to the evolution of the level (maybe one of the first games using that)
Today Konami announced its financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April and June 2024.
For people getting excited that Konami is back and will make more games we want now...the success is atributed to sports games and Yu-Gi-Oh. No mention of the Metal Gear Collection sales.
@VersusDMC Who is "We?"
I don't demand that gaming companies make only the games I want. I don't care for sports games, but it's pretty damn obvious that a LOT of people do.
I was just saying that the title might suggest Konami could be back to making games Konami used to be famous for. But it isn't. I didn't demand they make another type of game...i said this isn't a sign they will make another type of game.
Keep enjoying your pachinko, sports and Yu-Gi-Oh games, bro.
You do understand that Konami has always been quite famous for PES and Power Pro Baseball, don't you?
Also, pachinko has never been a big part of Konami's earnings and business. Just because some people meme about it, it doesn't mean it's real.
It sure would be nice to get a collection of the DS Castlevania games. Make it happen Konami. It’s easy money.
This. I would buy 2 copies one for me and one for my wife. It’s literally the only games she has ever played besides some PSVR2 RE. She has the entire collection but to have it all on a disc would be awesome
Silent Hill 2 is going to be so awesome - if you like the original game this is a must buy for any
Physiological horror fan - IMO this crushes Resident Evil Franchise - way to go Konami for this title in the franchise !
No sunlight that day, apparently.
They should release it on NSO's GBA lineup. The Switch has a light sensor afterall! (Switch Lite owners would be out of luck though)
I don't think games would be able to 'hook into' the light sensor for automatic screen brightness.
The best way to play the game is with the fan patch that lets you adjust the amount of light the game is receiving at will. Make sure not to play at max sunlight for too long, or the game will punish you, keep the sunlight meter lowered in order to keep playing longer.

Hard to guess. Hes a game developer that seems like hes leaving konami so im thinking he'll go on to become an archaeologist.
Hopefully he finishes Silent Hills before he leaves.
Hopefully on to movies in lieu of games...so tired of hearing about this guy!
Just curious but how do you guys seem to think that hes going to finish silent hills when MGS 5 isnt even done yet? You guys do know his main work right now is on MGS 5 until that is gold. How would it work that he would stay for a couple more years to get silent hills done when it seems like hes going to depart as soon as metal gear is done.
I personally see Kojima starting his own studio. He will get so much support as he is one of the best minds in gaming that has ever existed.
This whole thing is disgusting. The real question is what's next for Konamj. Are they prepared to deal with being irrelevant? I really doubt Kojima will have trouble finding work.
