Major Konami Announcements on Monday!

Check back to this space on Monday for several major announcements on new games from Konami! From new franchises to returning favorites, you won't want to miss the earth-shaking news. You heard it here first!



So, care to speculate on the chances that at least some of this news will be for Wii?

Castlevania moved from the DS to the PSP, Dance Dance Revolution exclusive to PS3... the future is here gentlemen!

Yeah, Konami seems so attached at the hip to Sony that I'm not expecting much.

10 new Yu-Gi-Oh games and the Elebits sequel, composed entirely of player made maps, titled, "Elebits 2: How could we possibly spend any less money on this franchise?"

I didn't think much of this until I noticed the plural.  "SEVERAL major announcements on new GAMES".

But will it really be "earth-shaking"?  Not to be cynical, but unless they're pledging exclusivity to one console maker, I don't really see how they could add up to being a big deal.

New Goemon please.

This only put more weight behind the original rumor.
now we just need to find out that Dewy isn't the only game Konami has planned for Wii.

Earth shaking = new game has this mechanic in it.

I can't think of anything else.
I must find a way to use "burninate" more in my daily speech.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Arcade) for XboxLive Arcade & Nintendo Virtual Console


Never happening, they don't even have the license to it anymore nevermind the fact that the last time they did bring the arcade game back they had to replace all the music.

That's a Konami website post?

...

Prepare for disappointment. They'll just reannounce the games they already announced on Thursday.

Anyone know where I can get a PS2 => GCN converter for my two hard pads?  I think this DDR game will be excellent.

Hence the reason why I am asking or I would've already gone there (heh, I have DDR Mario but no GCN pad, finding a converter will let me play DDR Mario as well).

That is if DDR Hottest Party uses the GameCube pads. They said that the demo was using them, but in the promo video people were playing on Wireless pads.
We might actually see special made DDR pads for the Wii.

Chris Kohler goes over the 4 Konami Wii games here. For reference, Konami is bringing over Dewy and DDR, and also publishing Hudson's Kororinpa (which Kohler is now addicted to) and Wing Island. All of a sudden I'm totally hyped up for ALL of these games.

For further edification, Kohler posted Konami's full press release lineup for all systems here.
