Massive Cancellations From Konami

JKKDARK · January 11th, 2007

I found it on IGN. 5 announced games for the PlayStation 3 and the Wii from Konami were cancelled. Sadly, there are not details about what happened.

so this is the 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)

Thats it, my life is over, I just won't be able to live without "New Action Adventure Game 2", it was set to be a stunner, especially "level 2", it had real action and adventure!

Wonder what happened, guess they stretched themselves abit thin, or someones figures didn't add up.

Damn, no "Graduis?"

I've purchased Gradius for the Game Boy and Advance, Gradius III/IV and V for the Playstation 2, and Gradius III for the Super Nintendo.

I really enjoy Gradius!

I've liked them. 1 and 4 are probably the weakest, but if you can get into the series like I did, you'll like those as well. Suiko3 is one of the highest rated PS2 games on gamerankings.com.

Is Silent Hill 5 safe??!! Please tell me it is. I hope that "New Action Game (PS3)" isn't Silent Hill 5.

Isn't MGS 4 being done by Kojima Productions and they really don't give a **** about Konami?

raksmey1309 · January 11th, 2007

I hope they dont abandon Silent Hill 5 - Working Title....

**@ruantec** · January 11th, 2007

as long as they do not cancel MGS4 and Sillent hill series everything should be OK

Cancelling a MGS game would be like Square cancelling a FF - ie. not going to happen.
