Monday megaton: Konami announces they made an announcement
On Friday, Konami stated on their website that there would be a major announcement on Monday. With a strong and hearty exclamation mark to punctuate their release, they said, "From new franchises to returning favorites, you won't want to miss the earth-shaking news. You heard it here first!"
We waited for the embargoed information to show up over the weekend, as tipsters sent emails that there was some huge announcement coming Monday. What could it be? The rumoredMetal Gear Solid 4 on Xbox 360? A new next-gen Silent Hill or Contra?
The big announcement was ... that they made all their big announcements on Friday! No joke, check out the release: "Last week Konami announced new games in its Castlevania and DDR series ... It's going to be an incredible 2007, so stay tuned to these pages for the latest from Konami!" So, we get a teaser that there is going to be a big announcement, then the announcement is telling us that the big announcements were on Friday? What? Everybody get aboard the hype train to the past. Serious kudos go out to Konami PR, that is some high-level mind fornication going on!
