Hideo Kojima Will Make Games Until He Dies. But, His Next One Isn’t Wii U.

One of the things it appears he isn’t striving for is getting that game on the Wii U. This, however, seems to be due to the Wii U’s interface as Kojima said the way players interact with the upcoming Nintendo console is “very different” so he’d have to make a unique title suitable for the Wii U. Fair enough!

“I don’t have any problem with Kojima Productions being equated with Metal Gear, but I don’t like, necessarily, that people think that my name equals Metal Gear,” said Kojima.

“Of course, I’ve worked on Metal Gear up to now, and I love Metal Gear. But as a creator, I want to work on new projects and create new games. I want to do new, creative things—things no one has done before. So even if I keep on producing Metal Gear, from now on, I want to have something else that I can do apart from Metal Gear. Something that pushes the boundaries, something that may not even sell, but something that’s new.”

That something new, it seems, is this upcoming Project Ogre. Glad to hear that Kojima is eager to branch out. No doubt players are eager for that, too.
