News: Several new games will be announced Monday.
After making a slew of DS, Wii and PSP announcements yesterday, Konami has announced that on Monday they will be making a "Major" announcement on Monday.
This major announcement will take the form of a first look at several new projects Konami has in development including "new franchises [and] returning favorites."
So, do any of the gambling types out there think this will be the day Konami announces Metal Gear Solid 4 for the 360? Check back Monday to find out.
Update: Monday has come and gone and it appears Konami got the gaming community all hot and bothered for nothing.
This appeared on the Konami news page today:
"Last week Konami announced new games in its Castlevania and DDR series, bringing these renowned franchises to new platforms with all-new gameplay twists. Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles for the PSP system delivers the classic game Castlevania: Rondo of Blood in 3D for the first time, with timeless side scrolling gameplay and incredible animations. DDR Hottest Party brings nonstop dance action to the Wii, letting players get their whole body into the groove as they dance with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. It's going to be an incredible 2007, so stay tuned to these pages for the latest from Konami!"
So their "major announcement" is nothing more than "We announced some awesome stuff on Friday didn't we?"
Bad form Konami, bad form.
