I really hope it's a remake of the very first Metal Gear... I hated that game... The gameplay sucked ass and it was slow and boring and all, but if they gave it MGS2 type gameplay I'm sure it'd be good :D

Either way IGN is still calling it a rumor and videogames.com hasn't said anything so yeah...

Gamesradar seem to think that there will be a remake of MG on the NES will be coming exclusively on the Cube.

Shigeru Miyamoto reveals that he's working on an unnamed MGS title. But what is it?

It's an old chestnut of a rumour that Metal Gear Solid, in some form, will appear on Gamecube. However, the rumour has come to fruition with Shigeru Miyamoto himself making a statement to the Italian gaming press to that effect.

Miyamoto is in Europe on a Zelda promotion tour and has already revealed titbits of info on Nintendo games - such as a new game in the works that uses the same game engine as Wind Waker, with ideas that had to be cut from that game making it into this new unnamed project (we think it has to be a Zelda game, although Miyamoto wouldn't confirm this). So it's in keeping with his tour to drop these little bombshells here and there.

Nintendo and Metal Gear are no strangers, with the first two games in the series appearing some years ago on NES and a MGS title appearing on Game Boy Color.

We spoke to Nintendo and they confirmed that Miyamoto is indeed working with Konami on a MGS title but wouldn't reveal any more than that. So we're still in the dark about whether the game will be a port or a brand spanking new title. However, for some time now the rumour mill would have us believe that a Gamecube remake of the original NES is on the cards.

Whatever the case, MGS on Cube is great news and we'll keep you in the know about any further developments.

I'll believe it when I see it though. At the end of the day, I hope it's nothing like MGS2, I felt that there was something about it that kept it a step behind the first one.

you're not alone here... i think it was the relentless cut scenes/codec communications that killed it for me

I agree with you on that one...........I liked the first one alot better than the second one.

It wasn't the cut scenes that bothered me , they were great.........it was something else besides the storyline( which took a downhill turn near the end IMO) .

I just can't seem to put my hand on it.

*ponders and walks away*

Well, this news has been "confirmed" by several sources, but I still take it for a rumor. I mean you can find news on this at many sites including PlanetGamecube, Gamers.com, Gamers.com and even Konami.

Anyhow things to note form the multiple reports.
-The Admin at Konami website never actually calls the game a metal Gear Solid which leads me to believe, it will probably be a remake of the original Metal Gear.
-Thus far, it is only one game, so it probably won't be MGS 3 since that is going to PS2/3.
-It is said to have GBA/GCN connectionn which isn't too hard to believe as I believe Hideo noted interest in connecting MGS 2 with the GBC when it was first being made not to mention Splinter Cell takes advantage of that feature.
-The Internet knows how to feed rumors.

IGN says the Metal Gear game is not a rumor.

*adds game to must have list*:D

Finally Nintendo is going after the major third parties.

I'll second that opinion, seemed like I spent more time watching
cut-scenes than actually playing.

I hope it does turn out to be a 'Cube exclusive, something kind of
nostalgic about playing MG on a Nintendo console.
