Nestled within the various Marketplace menus on the PartnerNet, IGN discovered a old-school quarter-devouring distraction. It was Frogger, the staple of greasy pizza shops and sweaty sports arenas everywhere. Its concept is simple. Taking control of a pixilated frog, he's guided across a heavily trafficked road and a river to safety in the bushes on the other side. The adventure isn't without obstacles. Sports cars and semi trucks threaten to squish Frogger into quivering bits. Once across the road, the river can only be navigated across by hopping across a series of moving logs and turtles. Like many of its early arcade predecessors, timing is key for getting high scores, and despite it's simple appearance and design the game requires plenty of practice to be successful.
Recognised as one of the biggest video game manufacturers not just in Japan, but worldwide, it’s no wonder that Konami are still running high. Founded in 1969, the firm initially began as a repair and rental business in Osaka for Jukeboxes and arcade cabinets, but by the 1970’s they were designing video games. While Konami is one of the most prominent AAA Japanese developers, its influence in gambling is just as prominent. Arcade games and slot machines worldwide still hold the Konami label, and with an online presence in addition, there’s no denying that Konami is still as popular as it has ever been – just perhaps more quietly. To celebrate Konami’s fruitful past, however, we’re looking back at some of the best and most influential games that Konami has ever released.
Thankfully the Netflix show and the awesome PC game CASTLEVANIA LACARDE CHRONICLES 2 came out this year. When Konami decided to become scumbags, fans stepped in.

Basically one games fanbase doesn't like them. They want everybody else who plays games to hate Konami at the same level they do.
The problem is this......most video gamers are Not Kojima fanboys and don't even worry or think about this stuff.
Konami still makes PES and it's a solid franchise and they still hold the rights to some of my favorite past games like Suikoden, Sunset Riders & Mysitcal Ninja
Don't care about all the Konami crap if they continue 3 of my fave series still Metal Gear, Castlevania and Silent Hill, Ill continue to buy.
