It's from 4chan and I don't think it's legit that much if it is then this could be freaking huge for 4 reasons

  • Konami is legit leaving gaming for real if they are selling their biggest money maker for that market
  • More IPs can be on sale so anything is probably game, including Hudson Soft
  • This would put Namco-Bandai into insane ranks of video game levels by having a major franchise back along with Kojima
  • If this goes down rightfully so then Snake back in Smash is almost 99% possibility now
Interesting rumor. Would love to see it happen. Seems like the right company to sell it to.

At this rate I can care less about Snake in Smash. I just don't want Metal Gear to die.

Wow. If this is true, this could really lead into something remarkable. I really hope Konami sell their IPs and Nintendo buys some of them. Also Namco Bandai buying Metal Gear and taking Kojima in could be really cool. It could bring something unique to the table.

This sounds insane. Let's hope it's true.

Too good to be true. Way too good to be true.

If that leak is true (which it probably isn't) then October is going to be ridiculous.

Between the end of the Ballot and Sony's conference, the world would not be able to handle that much hype.

If Nintendo could grab Bomberman and Castlvania, that would be the gift.

I think that rumor is BS to be quite honest

Bayonetta getting a pachinko?

... Why?
Eh, nothing new to Sega. They've always made these kind of machines for the longest time, at least Sammy does.


If Bayo 3 doesn't happen then it doesn't happen, the pachinko doesn't change that. Bayo 2 bombed in Japan after all.

I believe this it actually makes sense and isn't out of the possiblity of being real.Plus if any company would handle metal gear right it would be namco and atleast this way it isn't console exculsive

The fact that Bayonetta 2 bombed is the reason I was so surprised they made a pachinko for it.

Maybe I'm just not that knowledgeable about the pachinko business, but I figured they wouldn't even bother.

Pachinkos don't require a huge budget like games do. So it's generally safer. Bayonetta, as niche as she is, does have a following, so doing a pachinko side thing for her would help reel in some money for Sega. Who knows, they could go for another Bayonetta someday. We're finally getting Shenmue 3 despite how badly both Shenmue games bombed.

I hope more IPs go on sale instead of being relegated to the horrible fate of pachinko machines.

Frogger - Indifferent. Between him and the other three big Konami characters (Snake, Simon, Bomberman), I favor him the least.
Samurai Goroh - No. I never saw the big deal.
Starman (Pro Wrestling) - Yes. Smash needs wrestlers.
Wario (Land) - Yes.

You know what I would love to see:
Megaman Legends 3 come back to life.
And a new classic Megaman done in an updated style similar to Mighty No.9
The look on Inafune's face would be priceless.
Mighty No 9 looks really dull though

Mega Man should be just Mega Man. I think that alone is enough to get Inafune to react that way.

I think Mega Man works best in 2D, not in 2.5D. Maybe 2.25D where the world is 3D but all characters bar big enemies are detailed sprites.

I should have made it clearer.
When I say Style I mean it's graphics. Particualrly something lie this:

They could even bring WayForward in to go all Half genie hero on it. They did it with DuckTales and it worked so well there.
Or even the Team from Rayman Origions/ Legends

It depends how feasible the whole thing really is.

Wayforward may be able to pull it off well. Not totally sure about Rayman Origins/Legends though, their style of animation wouldn't fit at the very least.

But I would really like that.

I mostly want someone to buy Metal Gear Solid to keep a classic and important gaming franchise alive. I could care less if it'll make Snake coming back easier, as to me personally, he's the weak link of the third party icons.

Assuming this is true, does this mean they would sell off the rights to the yugioh card and video games as well?

To be absolutely honest, outside of Metal Gear Rising. I am perfectly content with MGS ending. I cannot think of what else they could squeeze into the games. Everything is pretty much filled at this point.
