Konami Cancels 5 PS3 Titles and 2 Wii Titles

[BrewCityUpstart]

News from Famitsu, Japan's premier gaming mag, has surfaced that Konami has pulled the plugged on five PS3 games in development, and two Wii games. One of the 5 games is unfortunately Coded Arms: Assault, Konami's anticipated first person shooter. Alas, it seems like a Gradius title was part of that fray too, which is arguably even more unfortunate. As far was what the two Wii games were, we're not sure -- but it's being said that they were barely in development, and weren't even named yet.

- Gradius

- Coded Arms: Assault

- Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu

- New Actiongame

- New RPG

Earlier reports of a massive wave of cancellations over at Konami's next generation game farm were, it seems, erroneous. Next generation Gradius and new generation New Action Adventure Game 2 live!

For those wondering what in the world of mistaken triologies is going on, IGN reported on Wednesday that the following Konami titles had been cancelled:

Gradius Series (PS3)
Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball (PS3)
New Action Game (PS3)
New Role Playing Game (PS3)
New Action Adventure Game 2 (Wii)
Role Playing Game (Wii)

This report was based on a release list in the latest issue of Japan's largest games magazine, Famitsu.

Today, Famitsu issued a correction via its Famitsu.com website noting that the games have not been cancelled, but instead have a TBA release date, just as they always have.

For the record, because we're sure you're wondering, there is a "New Action Adventure Game 1" in development for the Wii. We expect it to precede the release of New Action Adventure Game 2, although it too has a TBA date.
