OFFICIAL Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes Discussion

there's already a thread about this subject.

The bot is taking over!

So, ummm, MGS was heavy on stealth, right?

yes. and we all know by now that you aren't a fan of stealth games. no need to repeat is again.

Good now how bout giving the game some commercials? Another no commercial game by Nintendo!

Apparently there's a commercial out, but I don't know if it's Japanese or not. There was Japanese text, but English dialogue. Check the official website.

And of course I'll be picking this up the moment it arrives.

Ill be getting it too, i just wish it got some due press and some air time on TV so it can sell well enough. If it sells poorly Konami will shun Nintendo entirely

Nintendo has helped with Third Party Advertisement. They had the Gamecube symbol come in at the end of EA sports commercials with that nifty Connected symbol..

It would be wise for Nintendo to help with the advertisement here, even if Konami is publishing it... Nintendo is the one developing it

No, SK is developing it. They maybe second party, but they are a developer in thier own right.

Nintendo funds SK does it no?

Hold on, SK is a 2nd party of Nintendo, so Nintendo must be involved with TTS somehow.

Advertising for Metal Gear Solid shouldn't be that necessary anyway. Just the presence of that game on the shelf should encourage sales. Though advertising always helps. Konami advertised the hell out of both the original and Substance version of MGS2 so I would imagine they'll do the same here.

Though how bizarre would it be if two SK games in a row bombed due to a lack of advertising. I would start to suspect some big wig at Nintendo has it in for SK and their "mature" style of videogames.

Doesn't Pokemon Colleseum come out this month too? What happened to trying to space out major releases?

Two titles coming out within a week or two of each other is your idea of squishing titles in together? :\

The name game after that is Wario Ware which doesn't come out till the end of April...

i hardly think wario ware counts as a major release. people like us may be ecstatic about it, but i somehow think we're in the minority.

"Two titles coming out within a week or two of each other is your idea of squishing titles in together?"

When they're of that sort of calibre yes. I don't have the time to play more than one major title a month. It bugs the hell out of me when there is like a three month gap between must-own titles and then every game under the sun is released in November. Considering that the Cube doesn't have the kind of support to have over 12 killer-apps a year it seems odd to have two of them released only two weeks apart.

here's a thought--don't buy pokemon colleseum the day it comes out. wait until april. they're not going to run out of copies of the game. hell, go back and get one of those games you missed out on in november and play pokemon in may. it's not like the games have a self destruct sequence if you don't finished them in a given period of time.

plus, not everyone is interested in both titles. personally, i've never caught the poke-fever. would it be fair to me if twin snakes was pushed back a couple months to fill a small gap?

kingvudu has a point, MGS and Pokemon target completely different demographics.

6 days for the game and still no commerciasls and only 2 commercials in japan... Sad really, i love Silicon Knights and plan on picking this up, but i bet Dennis aint too happy about this lack of advertisement for their games........... Lets hope if they do make a Zelda Nintendo markets the hell out fo that.

This game is going to drive me into the poor house... along with other releases this month. Hell, I'm still going through FF: CC and then Harvest Moon, Phantasy Star Online III, Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, and Pokémon Colleseum all out this month... God, I just realized I would have killed for a month like this in the N64 days, and now that its here my wallet is going to kill me

Well, good then to live in Europe, we 'only' get FFCC, MGS, Harvest Moon and UT2004. I'm still considering skipping FFCC to protect my wallet somewhat...
