Konami passes on Spaceworld.

"The largest Japanese third-party says it will make no GameCube announcements at Space World, and is focusing its efforts on the fall TGS."

"We contacted Konami of America today to see what they had lined up for Space World 2001. They told us that Konami would be showing a couple titles for Game Boy Advance at Spaceworld, but there would be no GameCube games shown or announced at all. Furthermore, the company\'s heavy-hitters, such as Hideo Kojima, will not be present at the event."

"The publisher is throwing all its resources into the fall Tokyo Games Show, which takes place just a couple weeks after Space World. They haven\'t ruled out GameCube announcements for that event, but they also haven\'t confirmed any."


Once again this isn\'t a good sign for nintendo one of the biggest 3rd parties is not announcing any games for gamecube.  Konami will be announcing a few gba title, but nothing for gamecube.  Konami who is a strong supporter of sony.  I guess MGS2 isn\'t coming to gamecube, hideo isn\'t even going to be there.:thepimp: :thepimp:

TGS is a few weeks after Spaceworld and it is a lot more important to the Japanese public. So if they want to save their resources and surprises until TGS then more power to them. Capcom isn\'t even showing RE:0 until TGS.

IMO, Nintendo has more than enough secrets and surprises to keep their fans happy until TGS.

I can here it now the nintendo fanboys will be saying "oh wait til the tgs".  I\'m already disppointed.:thepimp: :thepimp:

No one expects an MGS to be on GameCube till after the Xbox gets their version.

Ps2 has mgs2 for one year or more exclusivtly which means if it did come to xbox or gamecube it would be almost 2 years old. IMO which wouldn\'t be worth coming out with since the game would be so old.:thepimp: :thepimp:

True, but look at Resident Evil Code Veronica for PS2, it\'s been out for Dreamcast for over a year and I already know of lots of people who are getting it. I\'m just making a point that\'s all:D

Xbox is getting a totally different game, NOT a direct port of MGS2. So it won\'t be a two year old game.

Well from the looks of it gamecube isn\'t getting a metal gear solid game at all.  Yes I can\'t wait to see what mgsx is going to be.:thepimp: :thepimp:

SpaceWorld will be mostly the unvieling for Nintendo first party stuff. Developers like Capcom and Konami are holding out for TGS because it is more important to the Japanese, like Gohan said. IT isn\'t really bad news for GC and I personally expected it.
 
I do doubt GC gets a MGS game - which is fine by me, because I don\'t care for the series at all. I just want to see Nintendo\'s first party stuff (MARIO!) for the GC and GBA.  Oh yeah and something by Capcom called "Resident Evil 0"

It maybe me but i don\'t think we will see any big third party announcess at fall tgs for gamecube...the only thing that will remotely important is the showing of resident evil 0 and that is all (IMO)I mean seeing how konami basicly in so many words said nintendo is for kids when they talk about a MGS coming to gamecube. I mean nintendo has been able to rely on it\'s first party games which sales the most anyways...so I don\'t think nintendo is the type of company that need big 3rd party franchieses to sell it\'s system like sony and microsoft.

I agree in part. Nintendo does not need massive third party support to be succesful this generation. They have enough franchises and their own demographic, so that third party support is really just a bonus. TGS will be the display for those third party developers though. I doubt we see any huge announcements, but there is always the possible chance for Konami to slip something out like a new CastleVania or anything else. Ya\' never know, they may have some big announcements. I doubt it though.

IMO they do need massive 3rd party support to beat sony and M$ this generation.  You guys are right they will do okay alone, but not become the leader of this generation.  I say nintendo needs more 3rd party support.:thepimp:

I don\'t think Nintendo cares about beatin Sony and MS. They are more concerned about staying profitable, which they have been able to do every generation. Every decision that they make makes this more and more clear.

It was expected that Konami would pass up on Spaceworld (which is basically a Nintendo-only show). TGS is where Konami and a TON of other third-parties will anounce all their games (like Konami\'s FMV-quality space shooter...oops, did I say that?). Just wait till you see.......I better stop.
