When a Konami series is dead, they turn it into a pachinko game. They've done it with everything from Goemon to Contra. Once they make a pachinko game, the series is never given any attention by Konami again.

Do you guys watch AlphaOmegaSin? He has some videos that do a good job laying out Konami's problems.

Good news: Silent Hills is back!
Bad news: It's a pachinko machine.

All that's left is that Metal Gear pachinko machine.

Boy I wish someone good would buy their IPs.

We're never going to see these franchises again, are we?

Nintendo should get literally every IP Konami has, aside from Metal Gear.

Oh please yes, if anyone could use Konami's IPs and would actually care enough to make them for the fans; it's Nintendo. Please God, let this happen.
