Rumor has it that Konami is asking for our feedback on certain franchises. We do not have an official confirmation as of yet, and so I caution you to take this with a grain of salt. As the title says, Konami is asking your opinion on what you'd like to see done with their legacy franchises. Now is the time to protest to the mobile only approach in their own official form and polls. Classics like Contra, Castlevania, Bomberman, Parodius, Vandel Hearts, Suikoden, and Ganbare Goemon (Mystical Ninja: Goemon) are all on this list. It is likely they are gauging the future of their market, and the direction of these franchises. Interestingly, Metal Gear Solid did not make this list for discussion and feedback... I wonder why? Regardless... To stem the Pachinko machine madness, let us land upon them a mighty blow from the Army of the Night! mobilesurvey.blicx.com/?s=68d309812548887400e375eaa036d2f1&sysl=EN&slp=1

Sorry, until proof is provided that is actually Konami doing that poll I think we should disclaim that it may not be a legitimate poll. I agree. As stated via my PM to you, this was a fast copy paste. I am waiting for an official response from Konami. I've contacted them via my website for more information. We'll know soon! I do advise everyone to remember one factor. Major companies outsource to data mining agencies for these matters. Regardless, cheers! Thanks for the fast cover save, Mike!

These three tweets (which are just a few of many that pretty much say the same thing on that feed) from the official Konami Europe twitter account say this survey is legit so I'm guessing its legit. Granted, there's no telling if the mothership back in Japan will listen or care but I don't think it can hurt to fill it out the survey since it doesn't ask for any personal info as far as I know.

Konami Europe confirmed the survey is legit.Still kinda surprised Konami hasn't been putting more effort into promoting it... but then again, Konami has been dropping the ball on lots of things lately.

If we take this to twitter should we have a hashtag? #eroticviolence maybe?

If we take this to twitter should we have a hashtag? #eroticviolence maybe? That would be hilarious and to the point. But I think #SunsetRidersYay would be better because the survey is the first time Konami acknowledged Sunset Riders in forever and it is something worth celebrating with a hashtag.

Sunset Riders as a option? Obviously trolling, even so I'll give it a try,
edit: This was as a draft, I already know that its real but Im not ashamed to reveal my thoughts from before they announced it to be official.

There's no option for "Console and PC". You have to pick one or the other. Why? Being so exclusive to one or the other goes nowhere in my opinion. It has no business being so one note. I decided to alternate a bit with some franchises being "console only" and some "PC only". If it's real, then the ball is in their court. If it's fake, well I don't mind adding one more thing to a spam folder. EDIT: It might actually be real. I agree, the Sunset Riders part had me raise an eyebrow so far it touched the moon. I love that game, so they better not be messing around.

I choose cross-platform for games that I want on PC and console, even if it says (PC/mobile) and said that I don't play on smartphone/tablet never.

I filled the survey, but I'm a bit disappointed that there wasn't a "Click here if you want Konami to die" option for me to choose. There's no option for "Console and PC". You have to pick one or the other. Why? Being so exclusive to one or the other goes nowhere in my opinion. It has no business being so one note. High piracy rate on the PC probably makes Konami approach it the same way as a mobile platform, meaning a a pay-to-win/freemium model.

I've only purchased and played one Mobile game in my life, and it had no business being a mobile game in the first place. It should have been a handheld game at least. That's why for that part of the survey, I just said "Maybe once a month or less".
As far as piracy, I'm with Gabe Newell on this one. "In general, we think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. For example, if a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the U.S. release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable. Most DRM solutions diminish the value of the product by either directly restricting a customers use or by creating uncertainty."
Though the chance of Konami ever thinking like that is somewhere near the same probability as my PS3 sprouting legs and arms, walking up behind me, and slapping me in the back of head.

A transforming controller. At least it isn't some banana boomerang that was laughed out of existence. You gotta hand it to Sony providing some real belly laugh material.

I'm just hoping for ports/collections of older games on modern platforms. But the survey only let me choose one platform, so I went with PC.

Someone used this survey to make the "Erotic Violence" joke? I've only noticed now that I lost the chance to do that.
