NeoGAF user Hero of Legend is reporting that Japanese developer and publisher Konami has licensed the Momotaro Dentetsu franchise to Nintendo. No doubt the series is in safe hands with Nintendo, but it seems as though all Konami is interested in is the license fee according to reports. In case you are not aware Momotaro Dentetsu is a long-running board game video game series.
Thanks, Lumaparty
>>>Hand over Mystical Ninja as well at once>>>
Fuck yeah! I’ll buy Mystical Ninja 64 Starring Goemon on virtual console in a fucking heart beat! I fucking loved that game on the N64! The music & open worldness of it was spectacular. The graphics for it of the time were nothing to scoff at either.
>>>Mystical Ninja 64 and its sequel were my favourite games on it after Perfect Dark and Majora’s Mask>>>
…
Why Nintendo, could you not have acquired MGS, Silent Hills or Castlevania rights?
Probably because Konami won’t give up their flagship franchises to anyone that easily??
Konami wants to run them to the ground before giving them up.
Because that’s not the kind of games Nintendo does.
Explains Bayonetta 2…. wait…
Castlevania, yes. They should’ve grabbed it and what they got is something that no one knows WTF it is.
Not to mention it’s a former Hudson Soft IP.
I LOVED Hudson Soft!
Such fucking sell outs. lol I hope those fuckers fall for disgracing themselves by disowning their fans like Capcom did and as for MGS5, I swear if that shit fails, it’s mostly Konami’s stupid ass fault.
I recognize this title. I think I have a Famicom game of this.
Never knew Konami had the rights on Momotaru Dentetsu.
Probably Nintendo will release the next installment as a mobile title.
Hudson Soft, you are truly missed.
Next step Bomberman! Just hand it over Konami, you’re not doing anything worthwhile with him dammit!
Yes, Konami, hand over all Hudson IPs to Nintendo. It’s the right thing.
New Momotaru Densetsu game? For the NX? For the New 3DS? In English? In 2017/2018? Those are plausible.
And the actual source is the Nikkei report on Konami’s current working conditions, and the tidbit stating the Momotaro Densetsu rumor was translated by Japanese video game translator Thomas James (aka Pepsiman on NeoGAF and iiotenki on Twitter).
Can they also get Suikoden too please?
Why doesn’t Nintendo just make its own cool IPs? All y’all ever talk about is how innovative and boundary-pushing Nintendo is.
There was Splatoon and Codename S.T.E.A.M
..and I remember people moaning about Codename S.T.E.A.M because it wasn’t Majora’s Mask, even though it was pretty obvious that MM was coming.
If only it was bomberman

Of course Konami would fork over a low profile, obscure IP to Nintendo since they would rather drive their more popular series like Castlevania to the ground while it lasts.
Now if we could get the other franchises from them too. Someone needs to save them.
Never heard of this game. I would be a lot more excited if this was either Bomberman or Mystical Ninja.
