Konami officially pulling out of releasing console games.

Good riddance to the Hudson killers...

They didn't kill Hudson. Hudson at the time was doing what Konami is about to.

The Hudson Soft we love was gone long before.

They acquired the company for what, to do f*ck all with any and all of the IP, save for a shitty mobile bomberman puzzle game...

Why bother?

So they can make Bomberman themed pachinko machines?

I think they used Hudson's already well developed resources in the mobile business to more firmly entrench themselves into the mobile game/app market.

Probably similar to Square-Enix's acquisition of Taito. Just so peeps can play Space Invaders on their silly touch screens.

Enix bought Taito shortly after they meged with/acquired Square. Long before the mobile market was a developed market for gaming.

Well, this is interesting. A survey about which games you'd like to see Konami make.

They also ask if there are any other Konami properties you'd like to see. I made sure to start with Hudson titles like Bonk and Adventure Island.

It's nice to see Konami letting the fans participate in the pachinko-machine-making process.

[MotherGunner]

To Konami, I say Pachinko Tu Madre!

[NightWolve]

It's easy. Stop playing modern games. They're all shit anyway.

It's old, but props for my laugh of the day! Somehow I missed this thread when Konami was the buzz in the news media. I see Konami Kat the jerk made it into the thread also. Heh.

[lukester]

This will be Capcom in a few years time. They have barely any money left, making only a few okay games a year.

Like Konami had to rely on Metal Gear and Silent Hill, Capcom now relies on the annual Monster Hunter and Street Fighter.

I filled out that survey so thanks for posting it. In the comments section I made sure to argue the idea of changing the Konami logo back to its classic style. I mentioned that the old logo was just as important as the Coca-Cola, Nintendo, and Capcom logos. And that you don't see those companies messing around with theirs. And for good reason which to you guys I'm sure is obvious.

[HailingTheThings]

Filling out survey now. :3

More Rocket Knight, please?

Oh well, the industry is digging its own grave! Capcom is messing around and f*cked up, SE has been making horrible FF games(look at 15 just LOOK!) , SEGA, oh dear SEGA I don't care about SE Or Konami but why? Sonic boom mobile gaming when you made some of my favorite games during the Dreamcast era (hell in 3/4 years you made better games than the sony corp has been in 20 years  now you make sh1tty pachinko machines, what the hell?!) and now freaking what? Sonic 4 ep 2 on IPad just disgraceful SEGA! I just give up on gaming as a whole except Nintendo of course, they actually make good games!     I miss the days of GOOD games! There my rant about this sh1t!

[Opethian]

if they only had to power to flip their backcatalog of game they would still be around
if only...
