Konami cancelling some Wii and PS3 games=MISPRINT!*

[Bobbler]

I think people forget (or just don't know) how many games get canceled all over, even at large publisher/dev houses. PS2 had tons of canceled games, for example.

We don't hear about most of the games that get canceled, often times they don't even have names (like in this case). I don't think it means much.

No, my child. The Lord on High would suffer badly. The First Mover himself, the Creator of all things great and small would suffer badly.

He would drop to his omnipotent knees and weep at his failure if he saw GRADIUS BEING PLAYED WITH A *U**ING POINTER!!!!

Have you ever played a flash-based SHMUP that used the mouse? Same concept, it does work.

Gradius Series (PS3)

/me drops to his knees and cries out loud

God damn you konami, whyyyy. I know there's PSP but I dont plan to own it, at least not yet.

ps. I just got through MSX version of Salamander. It took me almost 17 years

I suggest you take a shot at space manbow for the MSX , that will most likely take you even longer .

I hear boning sheep works, too!

According to Famitsu themselves what was shown in the print magazine was a misreport. They are not cancelled, but are just TBA.

Very true. In all media, films, TV, books, games, projects get canned even when they can be pretty much completed. Obviously at the moment there's some hot console-warring wanting ammo as to which platforms are being dropped quicker than hot potatoes, but a few cancelled games doesn't necessarily show that.

How ornate will Gradius be? What I'd love is the graphics the same size as the original games but with 4-6x the play area! Get some real 1080p benefit in there.

1080p gradius would be pretty sweet! It seems like that would be more suitable to being a PSN DL though... but I'd take it either way.

Why not though? Shooters are pretty limited in content, as most of the screen is supposed to be filled up with particle effects! If they stick with 2D, which they should do, rather than 2.5D. Maybe some 3D scenery, but R-Type was mangled with 3D graphics. If they stick with 2.5D, it'll be very suitable for a download title, and they can charge top dollar too.

looks like the thread title is now incorrect, heres the latest info

- Konami clarified that the following next-gen game titles were not canceled, as reported by Famitsu and Dengeki, instead the release date of these games were undetermined. However, Code Arms: Assault for PS3 was indeed canceled. Famitsu already posted a correction.

* Gradius series (PS3)
* Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball (PS3)
* New Action Game (PS3)
* New RPG (PS3)
* New Action Adventure Game 2 (Wii)
* New RPG (Wii)

sorry seems like one already posted this

R-Type Delta is unbelievably sick. R-Type Final is very, very good, but takes alot of play to be appreciated. I didn't like it at first.
