May 01, 2003 - Nintendo of America this morning announced that Konami would publish a new Metal Gear title exclusively for GameCube. The title, called Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, is in development not by Konami, but rather by Canada-based second-party Silicon Knights. Shocked? Keep reading.
Twin Snakes, more or less a total remake of the PS1 game Metal Gear Solid, has been under development by SK for a considerable amount of time, and the company has worked hard to up the graphics presentation of the title so that it more closely resembles the recently released next-generation Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. In fact, it's said to look even prettier. The title will ship later this year in the US and Europe and early 2004 in Japan.

Silicon Knights is re-creating the game under the guidance of Konami's Hideo Kojima and Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto.

"I am tremendously excited to introduce a unique Metal Gear Solid experience to a new audience of gamers as well as collaborate with my mentor in game design, Mr. Miyamoto, on Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes for Nintendo GameCube," said Hideo Kojima, vice president, Konami Computer Entertainment Japan.

"Mr. Kojima and I have spoken about this project for some time, and I'm excited our ideas have matched so perfectly," added Shigeru Miyamoto, senior managing director of Entertainment Analysis and Development Division, Nintendo. "It's this shared passion for game creation that has allowed us to collaborate to bring a special Metal Gear project exclusively for Nintendo GameCube."

hehe just bough game cube for Zelda, almost finished it. Now playing Metroid. Oh by the way, for any of you other Game Cube owners who have Mario Party for GC, on the Mini game "Domination", my turbo fingers hit "120". I just wanna see how other people compare. My grade 7 students said the highest they got was "89" bahahah. LoL just kidding hehe.

Metal gear is a great game. Why remake the old one when they can just make a new one?

I was also contemplating getting gamecube for zelda and metroid. Worth it?

WITHOUT A DOUBT. Metroid is a GREAT game and LOZ: Windwaker is probably the best edition of Zelda to date. I loved MGS2 for PS2 so I am extremely happy to hear about an upcoming GC Metal Gear... good find mental... ;)

i Gave up on consoles about a year ago, cuz I teach classes everyday, but lemme tell u, get Zelda and Metroid, it is super worth it. Usually I cannot play Doom type First person shooters
(I get dizzy) but I can play Metroid no prob. I love the game, its like sort of a Futuristic Resident Evil (not that scary, but still suspenseful)
