Full Version: Konami Cancellations Untrue
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Yesterday's overblown rumor regarding a spree of "cancellations" at Konami's Japanese headquarters have proven to be quite untrue. Konami has stated that all the previously listed games, including Gradius and the Wii's eagerly anticipated "Action Adventure 2," are still in the works. The chopped release lists printed in the pages of Famitsu and Dengeki have been attributed to simple error.

January 10, 2007 - Konami's support for both the PS3 and Wii appears to have taken a major hit. The release list in the latest issue of Famitsu reveals reveals that a number of next generation titles previously announced by the company are no longer in development.

Here's the full list of cancelled titles.



Gradius Series (PS3)

Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball (PS3)

New Action Game (PS3)

New Role Playing Game (PS3)

New Action Adventure Game 2 (Wii)

Role Playing Game (Wii)

With those titles gone, Konami's Wii and PS3 lineup reads as follows:


Pro Baseball Spirits Series (PS3)

Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3)

World Soccer Winning Eleven Series (PS3)

Music Simulation Game (Wii)

New Action Adventure Game (Wii)

Sports Game -- Soccer (Wii)

Sports Game -- Baseball (Wii)

So what happened? Sadly, the magazine provides no details. However, you'll notice that none of the the cancelled games have actual names yet. It's possible that Konami had intended to make the games, but decided to go in a different direction.

He said that it's proven wrong. This isn't old news. The old article said that they were canceled, but this article says it's straight from Konami's mouth: Famitsu misinterpreted.

Cool, that's a good thing to here.
I want "New Action Adventure game 2" so bad...
Lol yes, "Action Adventure 2" is going to rock!
i dunno, the protaganist, Hero 1, seems a little generic, and Villian 1 just isn't very evil. i was hoping for more from Konami

i'm waiting for Role Playing Game. i hear you get to do to stuff with people
the only thing i want from konami is contra on the VC
And they should also put Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 on the VC.

Man those games were hard!
I loved the first Metal Gear and it was hard. Had some crazy enemies when you think about it too. Scorpions in the desert maze for instance...
Yeah, crazy Metal Gear... PUT IT ON THE VC KONAMI!

Snake is in Brawl after all hey? hey? Come on! Don't make me start a useless petition for you to ignore, Konami.
lol Toungue *ManaburnX ignores the comment about a petition that will be ignored.
screw that, let's vote for Metal Gear Solid 4 on Wii!!
Won't happen.
But what if it did. Big Grin I read in a magazine the other day that it might happen in the form of a "port".
whatever happens, lets just hope that main character 1 in Role playing game
is equipped with body armor 1 and weapon 1 to deal with these kind of happenings.
What about monster 1?
Regardless, I can't wait until Konami releases New Masturbation Challenge Game 1!

I'll be batin til I can arm wrestle Jake the Snake and WIN!
