Is this what Konami was gonna surprise us with at E3? Because if it is, then

According to those articles, Metal Gear Solid 3 will not only be on Gamecube, but it will be EXCLUSIVE to Gamecube. Discuss, my fellow peasants...

what WHAT WHAT ! ? ! ?

How did they pull that off? I bet it IS MGS4 and after part3 the game series will be dated. Yes I am a pessimistic fatalist

how reliable r those. sites i seriously doubt this to be true .Seriously.

Mario · « **Reply #3 on:** March 22, 2003, 06:47:20 PM »

Well the first link has a scan of the article that was in the OFFICIAL NINTENDO FRANCE MAGAZINE so i think that is pretty darn credible.. but im not 100% sure of it until i see something about it on PGC or IGN.

Hot DAMN!
If this is true, my friend will bloody SH!T himself.

Oh, and me too. Haha.

crap that would be awesome
that would sell GCN like extremely hot...hotcakes

This is cool, i'll be even more happier when i see this on IGN or confirmed by Konami/Nintendo!
Maybe MGS3 was substance or something...dunno...

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #7 on:** March 23, 2003, 12:17:01 AM »

I am right positive that it's a crock, but if it isn't... well... I think it would be the right time to gloat.

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #8 on:** March 23, 2003, 01:14:08 AM »

Is GamerFeed reliable source?
I can't really say abything about the first link, since I can't understand one symbol.

But where is the Nintendo of Frace article?

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #9 on:** March 23, 2003, 01:17:14 AM »

this is really wierd
but it one way it does make sense in the theoretical way
it might just be MGS4 if MGS3 has already been announced for PS2
MGS3 also might go multi plattform, this time also for GCN

Tman · « **Reply #10 on:** March 23, 2003, 03:29:11 AM »

I just played through MGS2 in a single sitting and if MGS3 or 4 is like that, then sony can keep em. If its like MGS1 or is an entirley new Metal Gear series then I'd be all for it.

Not to rain on anybody's parade...

But I'm thinking this is fake.

Uglydot · « **Reply #12 on:** March 23, 2003, 05:01:46 AM »

I seriously doubt this. This is a 180 degree change from Konami's past support. I'm not one of the whiners who hates them for not supporting the GCN, but I really can't picture this. Would be nice to eat those words though.

Kojima said he was gonna make a 100% sure PS2 version.
So exclusive is bull. And Kojima is a guy that wants great hardware to his disposal.
SOhe wouldfirst make anXbox MGS3 than on NGC.
But they have been working/thinking/ on a NGCMSG game.

here i come to save the day

linkie

but whats weird is that they say it's MGS4, not MGS3. is it a typo, or is there something we dont know?

Tycoon__ · « **Reply #15 on:** March 23, 2003, 07:05:57 AM »

Here is a rough translation, from your master, me!

"During an interview with the French press, Miyamoto had announced that Nintendo currently worked with Kojima and that Metal Gear Solid on GameCube would benefit from interconnection GC/GBA.
Today, the official magazine French Nintendo, number 11 of April, written in its pages "current events":

Shigeru Miyamoto (...), we met it in Paris, where it revealed us some confidences which we divide with you throughout this page. Let us start with "excluded which kills": Metal Gear Solid 4 will be on Gamecube and nowhere elsewhere ! But it will undoubtedly be necessary to have patience of very long months before seeing the color of it...

Then, error on behalf of the magazine which believed to include/understand in this advertisement of a MGS on Gamecube, a opus exclusive number 4 OR true exclusiveness in the next title of Kojima for the console of Nintendo? And isn't it astonishing of speaking already about MGS 4 whereas nothing of the 3 yet are known? With less than the magazine made an animal careless mistake, and than it is well MGS3 excluded Gamecube?

We will keep you informed when we are more. To thus confirm!...

It could just be a typo, and they mean MGS 3.

It could also be a clever move by Konami, and actually be MGS 4. Think of it this way, it's like how we had Star Wars, Episodes 4-6 first, and THEN we doubled back later on for Episodes 1-3. They basically make MGS 4 almost autonamous to the plot (with maybe some vague references to MGS 3 they already have plotted out), and at the same time or later they can do a PS2-specific direct sequel to MGS 2. Since you could argue (although just barely) that Nintendo-specific gamers might not have had exposure to the MGS plotline and certainly not MGS 2, it makes sense to start fresh with them, MGS 4 could be the start of a new trilogy while MGS 3 finishes up the last one.

N-Gamer is also reporting this little tidbit of information. I find them to be more reliable than the above sites, although, not much more so.

Check it out:
N-Gamer Report of MGS Exclusive

Who knows? Maybe this rumor might come to fruition.

John Squire · « **Reply #18 on:** March 23, 2003, 09:43:32 AM »

Hmm, I'm very doubtful of this. I'll believe it when I see it.

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #19 on:** March 23, 2003, 10:10:13 AM »

All websites use the same source, so nothing really makes it more credible than an official statement or some IGN or PGC confirmation.

People shouldnt always believe that things written on paper are always more likely to be right than things written across a screen.

If MGS 3 or 4 is exclusive for the GameCube, what the hell happened to Konami why now they love Nintendo? somebody can please tell me what's going on. the first game from them was the disney games and now Metal Gear, a mature game for a console that is childish (Konami Think that, not me) and only exclusive for the Cube?? i'm in the twilight zone

Cap · « **Reply #21 on:** March 23, 2003, 10:26:54 AM »

personaly, i dont think this is that far fetched. i'll still hold out for an official statement, but its possible. with konami's view of the cube, nintendo probably had to pay to get metal gear in any form on gamecube, why not go the step further and pay to make it exclusive? nintendo seems to be getting serious about the gamecube lately, and this would be one way to prove it. either way, its already been confirmed that metal gear is coming in one way or another, so i'm happy.

lol if this turned out to be true then shigsy has got a damned big mouth

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #23 on:** March 23, 2003, 11:55:44 AM »

So what are the chances this is an april fool's joke?

dmcollin · « **Reply #24 on:** March 23, 2003, 12:06:57 PM »

um, i am sure nintendo had to pay konami a lot of money to put any form of mgs on the cube (i amsure ms had to pay to get mgs2s for the box), but to get an exclusive you are going to have to pay konami a boat load of money because no matter what it won't sell nearly as many copies as a ps2 version. Plus i am sure there are die hard mg fans who won't want to put up extra money to buy a gc for the next mgs game.
But i think that mgs 1, 2, & 3 are very possible for the cube especially if they use the same engine.
