Hungry For Some Snake?
Konami Japan begins its countdown to Metal Gear.

May 13, 2003 - "METALGEAR SOLID THE TWIN SNAKES"
The second title was "METALGEAR SOLID THE TWIN SNAKES for Game Cube", which was already announced formally in public. This game was introduced as a re-creation of "MGS1", which is famous for the great story, and "MGS2", which is famous for the actions and the stage effects. Furthermore, It is created by collaborating with those people - Metal Gear Solid team from Konami JPN, Silicon Knights (the company with reputation in technical skill), the world famous film director Ryuhei Kitamura, and Nintendo. This title will be appearing in E3 playable section starting from tomorrow. As a member of Metal Gear Solid production team, I am looking forward to seeing the reaction of the players.

"METALGEAR SOLID 3 SNAKE EATER"
The third title was "METALGEAR SOLID 3 SNAKE EATER". I think this title does not need any further explanations. "MGS3" is the newest game of Metal Gear Solid series. The visuals of this game were kept strictly confidential since the project started. Even in Konami JPN, only a small number of people could see the visuals of this game. Looking from a developer side, this place that will serve as the first opportunity to release this game, is really important moment for us. When the film began, the audiences became very silent. As the film ends, loud applause began, and the event site was filled with an excitement. How wonderful it is to feel the extolment from the audience! This was one of the greatest moments in my life as a game developer.
