This thread has been linked to the game 'Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance'.
Taken from gamesradar:
"Shigeru Miyamoto reveals that he's working on an unnamed MGS title. But what is it?
It's an old chestnut of a rumour that Metal Gear Solid, in some form, will appear on Gamecube. However, the rumour has come to fruition with Shigeru Miyamoto himself making a statement to the Italian gaming press to that effect.
Miyamoto is in Europe on a Zelda promotion tour and has already revealed titbits of info on Nintendo games - such as a new game in the works that uses the same game engine as Wind Waker, with ideas that had to be cut from that game making it into this new unnamed project (we think it has to be a Zelda game, although Miyamoto wouldn't confirm this). So it's in keeping with his tour to drop these little bombshells here and there.
Nintendo and Metal Gear are no strangers, with the first two games in the series appearing some years ago on NES and a MGS title appearing on Game Boy Color.
We spoke to Nintendo and they confirmed that Miyamoto is indeed working with Konami on a MGS title but wouldn't reveal any more than that. So we're still in the dark about whether the game will be a port or a brand spanking new title. However, for some time now the rumour mill would have us believe that a Gamecube remake of the original NES is on the cards.
Whatever the case, MGS on Cube is great news and we'll keep you in the know about any further developments."
Could this be the best thing ever?

For ZOE and MGS the design praise must go to the character/location/mechanical designer Shinkawa rather than the game thinker up-er Kojima.

MP was done by Retro Studios. A second party. With direct input from Nintendo. Which actualy tunred the game around and made it what it is.
I'm not questioning Hideo Kojimas ability - hes excellent (I wanna see more of Eclipse!) but nothing I have ever played by him is as good as the Zelda/Mario series etc.

MP wasn't done by Nintendo, it was leased out to an American company.
Neither it or Zelda have seen a UK release yet, and, as I can tell, you can put Zone of the Enders 2 straight into the equation with those 2 games.
If you know about game "design", you wouldn't really be calling Kojima's ability and place as the best in the world at the moment into question.

Who in the world has produced a better game than MGS2 and Zone of the Enders, from a design point of view on the current crop of consoles?
Remeber, we're just talking about design here, not whether the game stops every couple of seconds for a cut scene when your playing the game on the easiest difficulty setting!!

I know Shigsy, as he's devotedly called, is a world class games designer, but, games designers aren't the only thing that makes great games, teams of people make great games, and of late, Nintendo haven't been producing the standard which their devotees seem to think they're consistently capable of.
While I would probably welcome a little influence from Shigsy, I would much better expect that Hideo Kojima takes the reign over the MGS project, Ninetndo should offer advice on how to get the best out of the Cube, but when it comes to producing a great game, no one in the owrld at the moment does it better than Kojima!!
