Konami of Europe President Kunio Neo

 

“Consistency plays a major part in everything Konami does. Throughout the past 40 years, and on the many formats we have supported, we have produced some of the most innovative and memorable titles imaginable. The teams we employ all strive to make their titles unique and challenging, and this is as true of our current titles for Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as it was for the Mega Drive, Super NES and GameBoy. Konami is built on a basis of quality, and consumers know that we aim high with our release. For every well-known franchise, we always have new IPs on the horizon. Lords of Shadow is going to be a big title for us, and Enchanted Folk for DS is going to surprise a lot of people. We also have a wealth of other new titles in development – it is fine to keep people enthralled with titles they know and love, but the people behind them like to try new stuff to keep themselves fresh, and Konami always encourages this. Mr Kojima’s Boktai – the light-sensitive GBA title, is a great example.”
