Hideo Kojima bashes GC

"When I pick hardware to do a game, I don\'t look at the specs of the machine. I don\'t really care about that stuff. I don\'t care about how good the system is, because all consoles right now are at about the same level of power. I look at the audience that it has. Releasing a Metal Gear game on a Nintendo console would be ridiculous. I don\'t know about GameCube, but [their] machines [until now] have been for younger kids." - Hideo Kojima

So, what do you think it will take to convince Hideo Kojima to bring titles like Metal Gear Solid: SoL to the GameCube? Do you think we will ever see games like MGS: SoL and Silent Hill 2 on Nintendo\'s next system?

i could see him develpoing games for nintendo if Gamecube does very well and the playstation 2 begins to slip in sales.

I don\'t think so.  Even if the NGC sells very well, he will not develope MGS for it because most people would not even be old enough to buy it.  If the PS2 did start to do poorly, I think he would go over to the Xbox.

ahhhhhhh, more \'confirmation on the kiddy prowess.  Nintendo really arent getting a good reputation with their machine early on are they?  ahh well, ill still be playing Perfect Dark, Too Human, and mebbe even a little Zelda (my friends will make me play Zelda, bastards)

But this just \'proves\' once again...you want the best games, you get a PS2  :fro:

Very true ironfist, the average nintendo fan is 6-13years old, so they won\'t even be old enough to play mgs2.  As for silent hill 2 that may give the little kids nightmares.

nope not a good reputation........to many pokemon games on n64

Amen to that brother!

Want to get HK to develop mature titles for Nintendo?  Make Nintendo\'s first party developers develop something really "mature" for the GCN.  If the 1st party Nintendo developers stay as they are, then I don\'t see HK jumping behind them anytime soon.  The reputations we build for ourselves is how we will be judged in the future.

I agree ryu thats nintendo\'s problem.  They do to many darn kiddy games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I didn\'t mean they made too many "kiddy" games, but what I meant was that Nintendo is unwilling to take that leap into the mature area of development.  It\'s like Disney doing an R-rated movie.  It\'s just not happening anyime soon.

Well when you have a certain image and a lock on a certain market all to yourself you don\'t want to mess that up. Just think How Disney would be looked upon if they made a movie that was NC17. When you can make tons of money with what you got that is what you tend to stay with it.

There are tasteful ways to make mature games.  Goldeneye was not mindless violence every second.  There was other things to do and it was a game that had a lot of depth in the gameplay elements.  If Nintendo had made that game themselves, I\'m sure with a few more titles along those lines, that "kiddy" label would be gone for good.

I can see disney making a "r" rated movie of fantasia 2001, Mickey goes phyco and kills everyone with some breif nudity of micky and minny. Blood flying everywhere with ghosts and monster and some other freaky stuff.....like mickey getting drunk at a strip club.

hsahahahahahah nintendo is goin down! ( im just kidding arounf plz dont flame me )
