Update: Konami has now revealed what its 'special announcement' is, and well, it's nothing to do with PlayStation. The japanese publisher is getting in on the classic mini console market with a TurboGrafx16 Mini. It comes packaged with the likes of R-Type, New Adventure Island, Ninja Spirit, Ys Book I & II, Dungeon Explorer, and Alien Crush for starters.
It'll be known as the TurboGrafx16 Mini in the US, the PC Engine Core Grafx here in Europe, and simply the PC Engine in Japan. Of course, it's not the dream reveal we were hoping for, but a neat announcement nonetheless.
Something interesting has just been added to Twitch's coverage of E3 2019, a section dedicated to a "special announcement" from Konami.
It'll take place on Tuesday 11th June, 2019 at 5:30 pm PDT / 1:30am BST (12th June), but the most important question is, of course, what will the announcement be? Konami still holds the keys to a number of properties, but as the publisher has pretty much withdrawn from the video game industry outside of a few select releases, it's tough to speculate what this could be. Dare we dream of a Metal Gear Solid HD Collection port to the PS4? That's what we're hoping for at least.
What do you think this could be? Speculate in the comments below.

Tiny Toons Adventures: Buster's Hidden Treasure Remastered
I wish they’d just sell the properties at this point and let someone do something with them.
Just don’t let EA take them
Metal Gear Survive 2!
C'mon, MGS 4 remaster!
Or a not terrible port of Silent Hill 2 + 3.
KOJIMA : "Guys, I'm so rich that I bought the MGS rights back from Konami. No more pachinko ! "
... and then I wake up.
some old games sold as anniversary ed
metal gear remaster.word up son
It's gonna be pro evo soccar isn't it ☹️
I’ve got the game on vita. Don’t really want to okay through them again. They are great but because of the control scheme they don’t age well. What is LIKE to see, is Konami get Igarashi back and get us more castlevania
Lethal Enforcers VR
Ah yes ...Finally a 'Pachinko Collection: Volume 1' announcement for PS4.
Hopefully they've got the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles licence back
I'll puke if it's a Metal Gear game.
@Quintumply hahaha!! I'm actually playing that right now! Easily the best Tiny Toons game😁
Please Silent Hill, redeem yourselves
A new Rumble Roses game. It’s happening baby.
Honestly, MGS is one of the main draws for PS Now so i don’t think ports are in Sony’s best interests.
Suikoden HD Collection along with Suikoden 6 and maybe a New Castlevania
Metal Gear Legacy Collection on Ps4 is literally the only thing I can think of that would excite me from Konami
Maybe a MGS HD Port for the Switch.
MGS and MGS 2 Remake like Resident Evil 2...🤞🙏😉
Castlevania GBA/DS collection please. And how about a 1up arcade unit too.
A new Contra game! Or the announcement that they sold the rights to Contra to Platinum Games!
I know everyone is joking about it, but I actually wouldn't mind another anniversary collection/HD Collection of some kind. While I haven't bought any of them yet due to owning most of the original games anyway, I plan to do so at some point in the near future. While I've talked smack about the Igavania games from time to time on Nintendolife, I actually would like to see them do something like GBA Collection or DS Collection for Castlevania. A MGS HD Collection would be cool too.
Knowing Konami though, they'll throw a "Lords of Shadow" collection at us and walk away laughing.
Give me a Castlevania Lord's of Shadow 1 + 2 remaster for PS4.
Give me MGS1 - 5 collection on the PS4, with Twin Snakes includes and the final cut missions from MGSV to wrap up the story.
Give me that Silent Hills game by Kojima, or at least a new Silent Hill game with a surprise announcement that Team Silent has reformed with its original members.
I'm a simple man, give me these things and I'll forgive you
Please let it be a new Vandal Hearts game
A Silent Hill 2 remaster of course.
It's probably either PES (to announce they've lost more teams) or another anniversary collection.
My dream is that they’ve looked at Capcom & decided to give the ‘Resi 2’ to MGS & it turns out this is what Bluepoint has been working on.
The reality some collection of old games with absolutely no update to better the control scheme’s or touch up visuals nono, nothing, nada.
hey maybe they will finally get round to finishing MGSV
(and doing a sequel to MGS Rising)
Suikoden Trilogy? Vandal Hearts collection? Make it happen Konami.
@oldschool1987 i would love a HD remaster of Lords of Shadow 1 and 2 but ONLY if the fix that bloody stealth system and get rid of that stupid section before you fight Agreus
as for Twin Snakes that's impossible because that game was made by Silicon Knights on a propitiatory engine and they went kaput
Konami owns the game that's true but they can't use the engine so they can't re-release it
@FullbringIchigo It wouldn't surprise me if they brought back the original Rising that was canned. They might still have those assets laying around, and Konami likes to keep costs down.
Mobile gotcha games incoming.
Obviously, Sunset Riders HD remix collectors edition at just $59.99... it doesn't includes anything but just the original ROM and an eye catching upscale to 340x220.
This generation is seriously lacking a good stealth game hopefully a remaster
do you people never learn? this is konami we are talking about here... some people's expectations are way too high for what is to come. the mgs thumbnail is out of context.
No doubt it will be another sloppy remaster of a collection of tedious MGS games yawn.
@Frigate That is like 3/4 of the leagues right there! 😂
AV/A7: Silent Hill
https://youtu.be/jVJMkEAYRLs?t=396
Hope it's silent hill related 🤞🏻
@Frigate Unless you have a mountain of money to lure the FIFA licence away from EA, it won't make much difference.
I don't think a port of the HD collection would be good enough. The time for it has passed. What we need is a collectors edition, including every Metal Gear game, for digital and retail stores.
A 4K pachinko machine port?
@B-I-G-DEVIL metal gear solid 5, dishonored 2..
@youreyesonly00 Metal Gear Solid 5 - an unfinished game lacking in any good stealth missions playing in same areas over an over and nothing like a true MGS game. I spent lot time playing still but it just didn’t do it for me compared to the others. Good game but I don’t consider it a good stealth game.
I haven’t tried dishonered I’ll be honest so thats one I may need look at
@B-I-G-DEVIL Majority of missions can be beaten with Stealth...
@youreyesonly00 I’ve S ranked them all, I know this what I’m saying is I didn’t find them good stealth missions....
People are allowed an opinion 😂
@B-I-G-DEVIL didn't say you were allowed an opinion. I have the Platinum in MGS5, you may not call it a stealth game but the fact is it is labeled as a stealth game..
@youreyesonly00 You don’t understand what I mean clearly , MGS 5 isn’t just a stealth game , the formula changed and lost its stealth magic for me in doing so. The gameplay was good but I had more fun trying not to be stealthy so to me it wasn’t a stealth game because I played it my way with the other options it let you. Hence my original message I haven’t played a good stealth game on this generation because MGS 5 wasn’t what I expected it to be but I enjoyed it another way.
@B-I-G-DEVIL just because you played it that way doesn't mean it's not a stealth game ( that's just making life hard for any stealth game). you can play on stealth games that way which really isn't intended..
This is far better news than another MGS.
Get in!!!!!!!
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Are you sure its not a TurboGrafx shaped pachinko disc?
Awesome! What a fantastic machine!
Honestly that is really cool. The turbo graphix was an oddity that I always wanted to try, unlike the 3DO or CD-i.
Koji Igarashi said about a week or so ago that he'd be open to work with Konami again on two chapters still open in Castlevania. Too bad that reunion wasn't the special announcement. I might get this mini console though. Already have a SNES mini and plan to get Genesis mini. Might as well complete the 16-bit gen trio.
The TG-16 mini honestly almost won E3 in my books. My Turbo Duo broke many years ago and I’m more than happy to revisit a solid year or so of my childhood with this new release. My fingers and toes are crossed that M2 is handling the ports.
The only other Konami announcement that I would have jumped for joy over are remastered versions of the Castlevania Lords of Shadow games. I think they get u deserved hatred but I found them to be amazingly enjoyable for what they were.
I think this is great!
I'm not usually one for mergers, but please Konami, get bought up by someone big who knows what they're doing! That only leaves Sony, Nintendo and on a good day perhaps SquareEnix.
So, yeah. No MGS or Silent Hill. I'm bummed. I mean, who wants ANOTHER mini console that can easily be emulated?
A mini PC Engine, so that's like the size of a postage stamp, ha!
Here is a console that never really made it to the UK, but I remember seeing imports of the Japanese version at the time and in magazines. It is a great console so a shame it didn't really make an impact.
I bought quite a few PC Engine games on the Wii VC, as they were actually some of the better offerings on there, running at 60Hz in the PAL region unlike most of the other stuff, which replicated the bad old days of 50Hz.
I am a bit over the mini consoles to be honest, keep meaning get around to selling my Nintendo ones.
I like the C64 mini though, as I have a lot of nostalgia for that system, and it supports games from a USB stick.
@Danloaded Please without the passwords still have Nightmares from that.
@Ristar24 These things are fun but i use them for a hour and never touch them again. 😆
@ShaiHulud wish theyd get capcom to do a remake of silent hill 1/2/3 with the re engine! Imagine!
@Gmork___ A man can dream!
@ShaiHulud and while theyre at it they can use the re engine and also remaster fatal frame 1/2 & 3!!!
@Gmork___ Excellent idea, and while they're at it they can fix a remaster of Haunting Ground too ^^
Thats mini in the same way the original xbox was!! At least the PC engine ones actually look mini!!
