Are my ears decieving me, or should the company behind Castlevania and Mystical Ninja die?

 

Ahhh, yes. Back in the 16 bit era when the SNES ruled the roost Konami were indeed the best thing since sliced bread. Every game that came in their trade mark silver box was a gem. From Castlevania, Pop N' Twinbee, Axeley, Super Probotector, Lethal Enforcers (yeah that came in a BIG blue box) and ISS. But now they've really died in my eyes. Most of their great franchises lie in ruin and they've forgotten about their SNES roots. They neglect Nintendo home systems and give us shite like Eledees when all the good IPs go to the PS3.

 

Well as far as I'm concerned I hope MGS4 has massively underwhelming sales and doesn't recoup costs. I hope they burn for their anti-Wii stance. Especially after Nintendo bent over and shoved Snake into Smash Bros.

They've been making awesome Castlevanias, PES has lots of fans and they're actually releasing it on Wii and still you complain.

 

Since the days of the SNES, Konami have declined massively in quality. And I think that they've left Nintendo's home consoles out in the cold, something which doesn't please me at all.

 

However, I'm sure DS owners may well disagree as the handheld Konami games are reportedly very good. I just miss the good old days.

 

Where as CAPCOM developed their franchises and built new ones and really went from strength to strength. They were a powerhouse in the 16bit era and are still one now. Plus I love them for all the support they showed the GC and the fact that they seem to be showing the Wii good support too.

 

I am annoyed it took Konami an age to announce PES was coming to Wii, then we get it later too.
