It is Metal Gear Solid 4, not three
Just a couple of days ago, GamerFeed reported the news that Metal Gear Solid 4 would be a GameCube exclusive. We thought it to be a bit strange since we hadn't heard much of anything about MGS 3. We even considered the possibility that the French magazine had printed a typo and actually meant MGS 3.
As it turns out, the Official French Nintendo Magazine is confirming that they indeed meant MGS 4, and that it is a GameCube exclusive. Furthermore, the magazine indicated that the GameCube may also still receive ports of the original MGS or MGS 2. Yes, ladies and gents, Snake is definitely slithering his way onto Nintendo's console.
That's all well and good, and will leave many a fanboy quite happy, but it still doesn't clear up the matter of exactly what is happening to MGS 3. It has been speculated that the third game may already be in development for PlayStation 2 and/or Xbox. However, that hasn't been confirmed just yet. For now, we'll just have to wait for some official word from Konami. In the meantime, GameCube owners rejoice! Hideo Kojima loves you too!
