Last year Konami announced it would now be focusing on mobile games. This followed such events as the cancellation of Silent Hills and Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima's reported departure from the company.
>Konami highlighted mobile game Jikkyou Pawafuru Puroyakyu, which surpassed 22 million downloads. Sales of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain were not disclosed.
Is this the end of Konami? Everything will go to Moble now?
HIT THE LEVER
Who gives a shit? Konami is irrelevant now. They don't own any sort of gameplay or aesthetic. If you miss their games, fucking make them for yourself.
Jikkyou Pawafuru Puroyakyu Ehhhhhhh Macarena!
In all srsness, this is just the start of a new Konami, but the one we knew is dead.

This is the pinnacle of the casual.
I fucking hate Konami so fucking much.
Fuck konami
Konami wins again baby
At least the pachinko shit is winding down.
>konami shits on its fans
>targets a new demographic and is now doing better than before
There really is no reason for consoles or big budget games to exist anymore. It's much easier and much more profitable to make mobile games. How does this make you feel?
>You will never play a 10/10 3D Castlevania
>You will never play MGRR2
>You will never play Contra 5
>You will never play a new Silent Hill
>You will be told play shitty mobile spinoffs of all those franchises instead
It hurts to live

>never play mgrr2
i can just mash square and up on the stick and pretend im playing it just fine
Can they at least be nice and put the PS2-vanias on PS4?

I feel nothing. Then again I haven't felt anything anymore since 2006.
>a company that had literally no good games other then MGS and Castlevania don't profite from them because they where so few and far between
>Japs eat up mobile shit
Nothing new here
Im a PC usere but as far as i know Sonys game division is swimming in money while their TV and mobile divison can barely stay afloat.
And it's the other way around with Microsoft where their game divison is on suicide watch
Such is the way of things
not even a pachinko machine for suikoden?

Suikoden IV got a pachinko years ago.

>>a company that had literally no good games other then MGS and Castlevania
They took hostage like a dozen titles people keep hoping to see again.

Is Power Pro even a moneymaker in Japan still?
>>337146050
>You will never play MGRR2
It can still happen, Konami is just the publisher of the title, Platinum will do all the actual work... right?
>>337146050
They are making a new Contra that looks like an actual Contra and not a tower defense crap like Metal Slug Defense. But it's for smartphones only.

Couldn't they at least release it for Steam as well?
Casuals ruin everything.
