Metal Gear confirmed for Gamecube

An administrator at Konami's website's official message boards has confirmed that recent rumors of a Metal Gear Solid title for GameCube are indeed true.

I might as be the first to tell you all. I can tell you that YES, just as Mr. Miyamoto stated, a metal gear game for the GC is in development, but honestly, that is all the info that is available.

This post is by "Administrator", a user with Administrator privileges and the first registered member of the message boards. It's pretty safe to say that this person works for Konami.

Clearly, there are no details on the game, nor do we have any idea whether this will be a remake or port of either existing Metal Gear Solid game, or an entirely new chapter.

Remember on my list I told you they would port Metal Gear solid 2: substance, and mabey a Metal Gear Solid remake....What do the nay-sayers have to say now?

Today Konami Japan confirmed the news.

The company's Japanese public relations representative Scott Dolph told Bloomberg this morning that while a Metal Gear Solid game is scheduled for GameCube, no release date has been set. No further details were offered.

Konami's Metal Gear Solid franchise is action-based and follows hero Solid Snake as he uses his wide arsenal of moves and weapons to take down foes. With impressive graphics and play mechanics, the firm's latest in the series, Metal Gear Solid 2, was a top-seller for PlayStation 2.

Whether or not the still-mysterious GameCube MGS title will in fact be a port of the already-released PS2 game is still unknown. The title will, regardless, mark Solid Snake's debut on Nintendo's system.
