Oh Emotion Eric.

Haha, I knew they were the next Rare anyways. And maybe that's why they didn't advertise MGS:TTS, because they knew they were gone.

Funny Picture... I wonder if this means MGS:TS could lose it's exclusiveness to the Gamecube.

As if it mattered to Nintendo anymore. Konami never spent a cent on advertising. Not one commercial.

This isnt nearly as bad as Rare leaving. SK is officiailly third party (Rare went straight from one console to another). SK wants to be third party, I guarentee thats why they left. Their game sales are lackluster on a single console. They have talked about despise for consoles like PS2 in the past, but will probably make games for PS2 aswell as xbox AND gamecube. And all three next gen consoles.

I dont really mind this news, other than that I will probably have to wait even LONGER for Too Human...Maybe nintendo will replace them with a company like...zoonami!

Hopefully Nintendo isnt starting a trend here. First they give off Rare, then SK becomes the studio that got great out of nowhere (something like that) then they go 3rd party. Either Retro Studios or Zoonami will be the next SK/Rare for Nintendo and then bam, 2-3 great games later they go 3rd party/jumpship

Ouch. SK gone.... What was Nintendo thinking?
We all felt that Rare had issues, so we quickly accepted the loss. But SK was doing good things for Nintendo!
Hopefully they'll release Too Human on the Cube....

Edit: IGN has listed for E3: Silicon Knights title (Cube) There's hoping...

Its a theory

I dont think Retro will be going anywhere anytime soon because Nintendo basically owns the studio.
