E3 2010: Best and Worst of Konami's Media Briefing

In terms of pure surreality, Konami's media briefing bested the Cirque du Soleil of Microsoft's Kinect event and the laser tag and don't-call-it-a-vitality-s ensor of Ubisoft's press event. When else will you see luchadores in teeny bikinis, a multicultural Abbott and Costello schtick, and Def Jam mogul Russell Simmons, all in the span of two hours? Bitmob's Brett Bates recaps these events and more in this article.

The several-dozen technical difficulties. The presenters who were obviously half-asleep. The presenters who were obviously doing cocaine backstage. The live decapitation and subsequent recapitation. The Luch Libre wrestlers slapping each other while someone else proudly held the championship belt upside-down. The man in the several-sizes too large suit introducing, with all the gravitas he could muster, a Gradius game about topless lolitas. The ten-minute, expletive-laden speech about rap music and President Obama. The death-stare of the Silent Hill guy. Oprah. Glee. The controller-less paintball game where someone literally did the Kevin Butler 'pew-pew-pew' motion. Naoki Maeda dancing to *pre-recorded demo footage* of a Kinect game. Iga in a cowboy hat. Tak Fuji and his one million troops.

All approved by a multi-million dollar corporation.

It was... amazing...

Youtube channel GVMERS has released an interesting video chronicling the various Metal gear concepts and ideas that were cancelled or scrapped during production. In the 17 minute documentary they talk about the Metal Gear Solid port for Game.Com, the cancelled Metal Gear Solid: Rising concept, and ideas that were cut from Metal Gear Solid 2, among other things.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Nyxus2402d ago

No problem! Yeah it's a well made video.

TheVetOfGaming2401d ago

Interesting, although, I already knew most of what was on here. I just wish Kojima had the rights to the franchise. The saga has left with a whimper instead of a bang.

This console has so many great games. I'd like to see a sequel to The Last Story.

There's not going to be a sequel to the structure of Super Mario Galaxy 2 though. The only reason we even got SMG2 was because they had plenty of leftover ideas from SMG1 that didn't make it into the game. It's better that we got other structures of 3D Mario later on

crazyaejay2594d ago

Agreed. Mario 3D World is one of the best so hopefully Odyssey lives up to it.

mikeslemonade2594d ago

Galaxy 1 and especially Galaxy 2 are two of the most overrated games ever made.

Deep-throat2594d ago

The console was pathetic to say the least, but the games were great!

Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2
Zelda Skyward Sword
Donkey Kong
Sin & Punishment: Star Successor
Zack & Wiki
Sonic Colours
Xenoblade Chronicles
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Super Mario Galaxy is getting a sequel though...Odyssey

Super Mario Galaxy 2 was a one off mainly because they apparently had content left over and instead of it wasting they made another game since they were still in the consoles life. Wouldn't make sense to have a sequel to Galaxy when each new system has brought us a different, brand new main Mario game. I'm glad we got Odyssey over it, it looks great and more open then Galaxy. Once you got to certain point in some levels of Galaxy (star cannon) you couldn't go back so back tracking was limited

darthv722594d ago

Technically it's not a sequel. SMG3 would be a sequel. Mario Odyssey is it's own game and possibly new spin specifically for the switch like Galaxy was for the Wii. If anything, Odyssey is more akin to Sunshine than Galaxy.

-Foxtrot2594d ago (Edited 2594d ago )

Each ones are spiritual sequels

64, Sunshine, Galaxy and Odyssey

crazyaejay2594d ago

New Super Mario Bros. seems to always have sequels (2 on 3DS, one on Wii, and one on Wii U).
Also, Super Mario 3D World is a sequel to Super Mario 3D Land.

So, Galaxy 3 would be cool.

-Foxtrot2594d ago (Edited 2594d ago )

Super Mario 64 didn't

Super Mario Sunshine didn't

Super Mario Galaxy was the only one

Super Mario Odyssey probably won't

Super Mario 3D World and New Super Mario Bros are not main line Mario games...just advanced versions of the handheld games

The 10th Rider2594d ago

Personally I want to see them revisit galaxy and sunshine in the same game. The water gameplay combined with the physics stuff could get pretty dang wacky.

-Foxtrot2594d ago

Super Mario Chronos

Time traveling to past games

You heard it here first :3

-Foxtrot2594d ago

Oh shit man SEE it's just waiting to happen

That and another game with a Dimension jumping element

The 10th Rider2594d ago

Missing a lot of games: Red Steel, Zack and Wiki, Little King's Story, Bloom Blox, De Blob, Muramasa, Excitebots/bikes/trucks, Sin and Punishment, Kloana, Battalion Wars, etc . . .

Rebel_Scum2594d ago

Super Mario Galaxy 2 doesn't need a sequel. You could see the ideas drying up when playing through it.

i doubt any game character can be worse than this man.

IAmLoki2646d ago

Oh come on he really isn't half as bad as the haters claim. He is actually the best president for USA in decades.

Gazondaily2646d ago

"He is actually the best president for USA in decades."

BizarroUltraman62646d ago

I know Im gonna get disagrees but Ive lived thru 7 presidents. Trump is the worst and he just started. Lol..

Paytaa2646d ago

He makes GWB seem like a saint. That's a hard feat. Bravo Trump.

Erik73572646d ago

People use to have more support for Donald on here, was almost half and half...not anymore lol...people we're like "Ohh he wont do that he just said that in his camapign, he wont actually go through with building a wall and banning muslims noooo"

Utalkin2me2646d ago

@Erik7357

Obama banned mulsims too? So whats you point. It all of the sudden tpeople have a opinion on it due to not liking trump. But didn't care when Obama did it in 2011. Liberal Hypocrites.

ravinash2645d ago

He's been in barely a week, and all he does is create policies that give the appearance that he's doing something to please the people that voted for him. Nothing that is actually effective mind you.
He promises to build a wall, says Mexico has to pay for it - Mexico says it won't pay for it = no wall.
Even if the wall was built, if people are determined to get in, they will either climb or tunnel through, so the wall is completely pointless.

Then the ban on people from 6 Muslim countries. Basically creates a lot of hardship for innocent people (a lot of whom are american) because it's stopping families from being together.
And again it's ineffective because if someone really wants to get in (fake passport or go through one of those tunnels under the wall), then they will.
Even if they didn't, most of the attacks these days have been brainwashed people who were already living in America.

This just shows a president who is more concerned with the appearance they give rather than creating an actual thought out action plan to make the world a better place.

JunMei2645d ago

I'm not sure if he's serious or not. Needless to say, any time a country tries to make things overwhelmingly in its favor, making things unfair for everyone else, that's when countries stop doing business with that country. Which then causes exports from that country to falter, since it loses out on trade.

Do we really need Buzzfeed like articles now?? This site is supposed to be an escape from the US presidential fighting of the past 2 years. This is not the n4g I know and love.

The n4g I know is us fighting over review scores, consoles, handhelds, exclusives and PC.

Bathyj2646d ago

Agreed. I wonder where all these people complaining about Trump were on voting day.

I was voting for hillary
