Konami Remain Coy About Metal Gear Solid 3DS

Metal Gear Solid at E3 on 3DS was a great surprise but unfortunately the game demo we saw remains only that, a demo. It seems Konami are not saying one way or another whether they will commit to a Metal Gear on 3DS but they said feedback from the demo was good and it could happen at some point in the future.

Konami – make it happen!

- Game has lighting effects, shading, but the 3D boosts its graphical appeal
- Good feedback at E3
- What was shown at E3 was a sample
- Konami could still bring it to market, but can’t say one way or the other
- Comments will influence how Metal Gear turns out on 3DS, will help bring it out
- At the moment it’s based on Metal Gear Solid 3
- “Naked” for Naked Snake
- Other aspect for “naked” is for the naked eye, no glasses needed for the 3DS
- Kojima interested in hearing what people think about the game

There is a quote from Konami after the break.

Masahiro Sakurai Talks Kid Icarus On 3DS

Kid Icarus was the main game used to show off the 3DS at Nintendo’s E3 conference and it didn’t fail to impress. Director Masahiro Sakurai spoke with techland about the title and had this to say…

TL: Sakurai-san, they kept your presence a big secret but I’m glad that we can get some time together. So let’s start with how long have you been waiting to bring Pit back.

MS: So, the revival of Kid Icarus actually began in Smash Brothers. We brought him back for Smash Brothers and I personally did all that design work. We made a decision to upgrade and re-envision what the character was like with some more current trappings. From that time I certainly had an interest in the franchise. Now this time around, the project actually began with an original game idea, and the match seem to be a good one for the mythology and the character Kid Icarus. So it just so happened that the game idea and the franchise matched in the project then start it from there.

TL: How is Uprising going to incorporate the fiction and the continuity from previous games?
