Man, another redundant thread.. but this news thrills me. More on that in a sec.

They didn't needed an economical crisis to make tons of Winning Eleven's and Bemani games with barely any update...
They might not seem like much, but if you play DDR, believe me, each update can mean a lot. When you play all the time, you tend to get sick of the songs you've got, and each mix brings plenty more to learn and play. Of course, I'm nowhere near bored with Max2 yet so I don't feel the need for DDR Extreme, but the demand is there...

Wow, they're re-making a game which isn't that old, when they could easily re-make Metal Gear or Metal Gear: Solid Snake, which would be much more interesting? Or maybe Snatcher, which is a better game altogether? I'm impressed with their amazing choice. Must have been made by the same people who chose the new logo.
Well, Konami passed up the chance to release the PS/Saturn ports of Snatcher in the US, the fact that they don't do anything to remedy that isn't surprising me. I'd like to see that and Policenauts make it over someday, if they ever see rerelease in Japan...
Anyway, yes, I've often thought about how great it would be to have a PS package containing the original MSX MG and MG2:SS, and I imagine porting the games wouldn't be too terribly difficult. They could work some enhancements in, it'd be nice. Plus, as good as MGS and MGS2 were in "previous story summary" areas, it's always better to play them for yourself. And I'd like to see a Konami translation of MG2:SS. As great as the fan one is, I'm always curious to see what they'd do differently.
Myself, I'm a rabid MGS fan. I love MGS1, but after playing MGS2, I find the gameplay of MGS1 kind of hard to return to. I like everything better, however... the storyline, the characters, the setting, everything. The thought of it being reworked to take advantage of today's systems, in terms of both graphics and gameplay, it's amazing. It's hardly necessary, yeah, but I think it's really cool. Being able to shoot in first person mode in PS1 MGS1 would have been enough in itself, but I wouldn't call this a bad decision.
Hell, Resident Evil isn't that old, and the remake for GameCube was awesome. As comical as the original could be, it was very creepy the first time, and the jump scenes always got me. Of course, I was probably no older than 12 at the time, so I tended to expect less. But the GC version recreates the game and actually got me interested in a survival horror game again.
Kinda off topic, but it makes me wonder what Square's been doing about those oft-rumored FF7-9 rereleases. Remakes? Nobody really seems to know. Square apparently did announce them at one point, yet put them on indefinite hold, or perhaps that news story was even more speculation... hell, I don't really care about that. I just want a FF6 remake that looks like the old FF SGI demo. The graphics demo with FF6 characters that ran on an SGI Onyx, the preview of the so-called "N64 FF", heheh.

I get the idea that they choose Solid because it's a low risk decision. I guess it would take more work and money to remake those 2D games.
Also, I was reading in Gamesarefun.com that..."What is more interesting is that MGS is like a test for the GameCube and its owners. According to Konami, if the game sells well, more games will hit the console, including, possibly, installments in the Castlevania and Contra series."
I agree with you, we really need remakes of those Metal Gear games!
