/// Hideo Kojima Left Konami on October 9, Can Start New Work in December!
On Friday, October 9th, Hideo Kojima left the Tokyo offices of Konami, the video-game company where he had worked since 1986, for the last time. The departure ceremony, according to one of the hundred or so guests who attended, and who asked that I not use his name, took place at Kojima Productions, the director’s in-house studio, and was “a rather cheerful but also emotional goodbye.” He said that he did not see Konami’s president, Hideki Hayakawa, or its C.E.O., Sadaaki Kaneyoshi, at the party, but some of Kojima’s colleagues from other studios showed up to pay their respects, as did many of the people who worked on his most recent directorial project, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
It’s likely that, after Kojima’s non-compete clause expires, in December, he will find a new studio and continue making lavishly produced games.

/// Nintendo Unveils New $99 Yo-Kai Watch 2DS Bundle!
Nintendo has created an amazing Nintendo 2DS bundle to celebrate the launch of the Yo-Kai Watch game, which is produced by Japanese gaming company LEVEL-5 and has sold over 8 million in Japan alone. Starting Nov. 6, people can buy a Nintendo 2DS system that comes with a pre-installed version of Yo-Kai Watch, all for a suggested retail price of just $99.99! Nintendo 2DS plays all compatible Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS games in 2D. The system is designed to give first-time players an accessible entry point into the exciting world of Nintendo hand-held video games, and Yo-Kai Watch makes for a great pairing.
Yo-Kai Watch features hundreds of sometimes cute, sometimes spooky and usually mischievous Yo-kai that inhabit our world. Players must use their Yo-kai Watch to find Yo-kai, befriend them, and turn them into a team to battle other Yo-kai. More than 200 Yo-kai are hidden all around the world, and each Yo-kai has its own unique skills and characteristics.

/// Defiance TV Show Canned, But Game Will Continue!
“Defiance is Trion’s IP and the game will continue exactly as before,” CEO of Trion Scott Hartsman told Polygon. “The show has always been a fantastic and interesting partner, but the two were always meant to be able to stand on their own, which is why the show was primarily set in St. Louis and the game in the SF Bay Area.” The TV Show and game launched as a cross-media project in 2013 for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
