Thursday, May 1, 2003 - Konami and Nintendo today announced Konami will publish a new Metal Gear adventure exclusive for Nintendo GameCube. Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes will be based upon the story of the original Metal Gear Solid game, with the jaw-dropping graphics and gameplay features found in Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty. The game will be released in 2003 in North America and Europe, while Japanese players will have to wait until early 2004.

The game is being developed by Silicon Knights and Konami, under the guidance of Hideo Kojima and Shigeru Miyamoto, that Kojima always considered his ideal master.

"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 SnakesTM for Nintendo GameCube," says Hideo Kojima, vice president of 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," adds Shigeru Miyamoto, senior managing director of Entertainment Analysis and Development Division at 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."

Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes will be featured at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo on May 14 - 16.
