Nintendo
Co. Ltd. and Konami Corp. today jointly announced Metal Gear Solid:
The Twin Snakes exclusively for Nintendo GameCube. Under the guidance of Konami's Hideo Kojima and Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto,
Twin Snakes is currently being developed by Silicon Knights.
Nintendo fans will remember the second-party developer's award-winning Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem for Nintendo GameCube.
While featuring an updated graphics engine, Twin Snakes will stay
true to the epic storyline of the original Metal Gear Solid.
Commenting on Nintendo's new relationship with Konami, Shigeru
Miyamoto stated, "Mr. Kojima and I have spoken about this project for some time, and I'm excited our ideas have matched so
perfectly. It's this shared passion for game creation that has allowed us to collaborate to bring a special Metal Gear project exclusively for Nintendo
GameCube." Hideo Kojima, Vice President of Konami added, "I am tremendously excited to introduce a unique Metal Gear Solid experience to a new audience of gamers as well as collaborate with my mentor in game design, Mr. Miyamoto, on Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes for Nintendo
GameCube."
The Metal Gear Solid series has continually set new
benchmarks for the action videogame genre. In a deep plot of
espionage and intrigue, players take on the role of agent Solid
Snake, using an arsenal of high-tech weapons, gadgets and
supplies to stealthily maneuver through hostile territory while meeting
objectives and defeating adversaries. Since the series' inception,
Metal Gear Solid has sold more than 11 million units
worldwide. The latest in the Metal Gear Solid series, Twin
Snakes will be on display at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in
May. The game is scheduled to ship later this year in North America and Europe, followed by the Japanese launch in early 2004.
Twin Snakes will be published by Konami.
