			<title>"Super Widescreen" on HD remakes of MGS2 and MGS3</title>
			<link>http://junkerhq.net/nstatus.php</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<P>As you probably know, the aspect ratio of teh original titles during cinemas, which was 16:9, is not being respected in the HD remakes.. even though the native aspect ratio is now real 16:9 and not achieved through letterboxing.

<P>And even though the Snake soup <A HREF="http://thesnakesoup.org/?section=news&amp;t=5440">documented this</A> in <A HREF="http://thesnakesoup.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5447">several occasions</A>, now it is being reported <A HREF="http://thesnakesoup.org/?section=news&amp;t=5450">as a feature</A>.

<P>It has not been reported how this will affect both Z.O.E. titles. It must be noted that Anubis has some animation, which will hopefully be respected, but who knows about the real time cinemas.

<P>It is a shame since the aesthetic value is completely disregarded, and some elements which were not meant to be shown are now. It could have been (or maybe still could be) a perfect re-release, but it seems they are focusing on having this maybe due to some technical problem.]]></description>

<P>"An excerpt of the Sdatcher theme music and a trailer was included in <A HREF="http://www.konami.jp/kojima_pro/radio/hideradio_0298.mp3">the latest Hideradio</A>."

<P>"Like the rest of the music, the song is composed by Akira Yamaoka and starts at 16:30, and the trailer starts at 38:40. Being a trailer, I'm not sure I want to translate it because I don't have the entire script to go on (contextual factors come into play)."

onClipEvent (enterFrame)<BR>
{<BR>

			<title>La Mulana, and Tokimeki/Snatcher game references</title>
			<link>http://junkerhq.net/nstatus.php</link>
			<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine pointed me to a great game called <A HREF="http://agtp.romhack.net/project.php?id=lamulana">La Mulana</A>, a game created in the MSX style and recently translated to English. I must say that the game design is really good, and that it is indeed challenging. I recommend you play it.
<BR>
But, there is more to it as the title of this entry says. The game has hidden mini MSX game parodies within, by collecting some items. Here is a link to a <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuxKW67oHj8">video of the one that interests us</A>. I must warn you though, the voice of the guy narrating is a bit annoying.

<LI>Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops
<LI>PSP Console Camouflage (PSP-1000CA)
<LI>Original PSP Case 'Skin of a Warrior'

<LI>Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (MSX2) (5.5%)

Lunar Knights will also have animation scenes done by Studio 4 C. Doshin the Giant's Kazutoshi Iida made a surprise appearance on the radio as well.]]></description>

			<title>More info from TGS, thanks to Osiris</title>
			<link>http://junkerhq.net/nstatus.php</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<UL><B>MGS4:</B>
<LI> The game system is more or less in place now, so they'll really start fleshing out the rest of the game. However, he says it'll be quite a while before it's completed, so it looks like next winter (and not July) will be the release period.
<LI> Besides the 12-inch Snake figure, there are a number of other merchandise goods being planned.
<LI> Kojima revealed they went to a Middle Eastern country, a South American country, and several eastern European countries for the game's research. These are possibly the locations in which the game takes place.
<LI> Kojima said that a group in the game uses real people, as in people in our world, and one of them is Yumi Kikuchi, a co-host of Hidechan. They then showed a CG model they made of Yumi, and said they put her face through several layers of digital make-up, and then... And that's where he said he couldn't say anymore. But he did say, "Why do they need to use real people? You'll have to play the game to find out."
<LI> Finally, Kojima said you'll be about to control aspects of the opening titles of the game, like Snake Eater, only this time it'll be even more amazing. He said, "Konami's customer help lines will be ringing off the hook the day the game comes out."

</UL>
<UL><B>MGS PO</B>
<LI>Kojima said the hard part about making Ops is whent they change the story for Ops, MGS4's story changes, too. Likewise, when they change 4's story, Ops has to be changed as well. He said he won't have a clear vision of 4's story until Ops is completed.
</UL>
<UL><B>MGS DGN2</B>
<LI> Kojima said he wants people to play DGN2 before 4 as the two stories are closely connected. It sounds like DGN2 might have story elements not present in MGS2.

			<title>Famitsu Scans</title>
			<link>http://junkerhq.net/nstatus.php</link>
			<description><![CDATA[New <A HREF="http://www.gaming-age.com/news/2006/9/20-46">MGS4 in game scans</A> from famitsu. Looks good. I'll post some Policenauts related merchandise scans tonight. Here is some info from Osiris regarding the Famitsu scans:

<UL>
<LI>They say it appears as if you can remove Snake's facemask by your own accord. Having it on helps you blend in more. 
<LI>You can disguise yourself as an enemy, but if you're in among a group of them and you disguise yourself as one who doesn't fit, they'll suss you out.
<LI>You can take items, weapons, and get info from enemies from a holdup.
<LI>It appears as if MG Mk II can attack with his cord, but whether you or Otacon control it is unknown.
<LI>The rest is pretty much discernable from the screenshots (combat inside and outside, blah blah). The bottom of the last page (though 3rd page of the article) is Snake ambushing a guy in an alleyway.

			<title>Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence Limited Edition scans</title>

			<description><![CDATA[The scans of the <A HREf="http://junkerhq.net/MetalGear/mgs3subsimages.html">Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence Limited Edition scans</A> are up now, the regular edition is exactly the same minus the Red box and the Existence DVD. Unfortunately the manual does not have all the detail it should (the japanese one was 130+ pages), most probably due to not wanting to rise the price of the product. This detail might make it difficult for some to deal with the MSX games, so I am linking the Metal Gear Redux page, which contains a <A HREF="http://www.msxnet.org/gtinter/mg1remi/mg1reme.htm">translation of Metal Gear's manual</A> and <A HREF="http://www.stack.nl/~mth/msx/solideng/manual/operate.htm">Takamichi's translation of the Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake Manual</A> for reference.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[During <A HREF="http://www.blog.konami.jp/gs/img/hidechan/hidechanradio_31_suda51.mp3">Hidechan Radio #31</A> Suda51 and Kojima talk about Gyakuten Saiban (Phoenix Wright), Snatcher and Policenauts (minute 6:00); the background music is "Theme of Ending" from the MSX version of <A HREF="http://junkerhq.net/Snatcher">Snatcher</A>. Unfortunately they are talking about the low sales of the genre. By the way, if you haven't played <A HREF="http://www.dsfanboy.com/2006/02/14/phoenix-wright-ds-spokesperson/">Phoenix Wright</A> and have a DS, give it a try... I loved the game. Thanks to Osiris for pointing this out.]]></description>

			<title>Snatcher trademark</title>
			<link>http://junkerhq.net/nstatus.php</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Another month goes by. But there are some Snatcher news, which I don't claim to be the first to bring of course. There was a renewal of the Snatcher trademark by Konami, on  2005-10-27. Of course this has created rumors of a re-release of some sort, but if you examine the <A HREF="http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=registration&amp;amp;entry=1921028">page</A> it reveals that such a renewal process has been done in the past, and that it needs to be done every 6 years (<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark">Wikipedia</A> states that in the US it is a period of 5 years at most). What it does point out, is that Konami is not forgetting it's trademarks neither letting them go.
<P>Also, during the 25th Hidechan radio transmission (available <A HREF="http://www.blog.konami.jp/gs/img/hidechan/hidechanradio_25_ki.mp3">at Konami's site</A>) the guest was Kikuko Inoue (seiyuu/voice actress for Jaime Seed in <A HREF="http://junkerhq.net/Snatcher/pceimages.html">Snatcher CD-ROMantic</A>, Karen Hojo in <A HREF="http://policenauts.net">Policenauts</A>, Rose in <A HREF="http://junkerhq.net/MetalGear/ps2ppimages.html">Metal Gear Solid 2</A> and The Boss in <A HREF="http://junkerhq.net/MetalGear/mgs3ppimages.html">Metal Gear Solid 3</A>. I don't understand much of it, but from what I gathered and what Osiris told me (who told me about this whole deal) they are speaking about when they made the games (Snatcher and Policenauts) and they put Snatcher and Policenauts music in the background during the interview. The great thing that they always do, noted as well by Osiris, is end the program with <I>End of the Dark</I>, a hint to how much Kojima-san loves the game. Thanks a lot to Marc for this info.
