Back when almost every Konami game was a blatant rip-off/tribute to Hollywood action and Sci-Fi movies, Hideo Kojima created a game calledSnatcher. It was basically the bestBlade Runnergame ever made, with a dash ofTerminatoron the side to attempt to throw people off the scent.
Snatcherwas ahead of its time. The slow-paced, text based adventurehasn’t aged well, though the underlying ideas behind the concept ofSnatcherare as compelling as ever. For that reason,fans of the series, and Kojima in general, have been hoping for a newSnatcherfor years, but to no avail. We were teased with talk of aSnatcherradio seriesback in 2007, but that’s been about it for newSnatchertalk.
Now thatKojima is a Vice President at Konami, I bet he wouldn’t have any problem getting a newSnatchermade. What else could Kojima want us to think by tweeting stuff like “I’ve readied a complete Snatcher set for some reason.” Maybe we’re just getting trolled, which would be characteristic of Kojima, but I’m still hopeful.Snatcheris serious business, maybe too serious for random Twitter trolling.
Is Kojima teasing something Snatcher related?[GoNintendo]
