E3 2006: Dear Mr. Kojima, Jump in.

IGN informs us of an interesting 2 page spread in Kojima Productions‘ E3 promotional magazine named Show Maybe? (Poking fun at the title of E3’s official material, Show Daily) The magazine focuses on the developer’s projects but it something else caught the attention from the IGN Xbox 360 staff.

Jump in please!

It’s a Microsoft Xbox 360 ad that covers two pages. On the right side of the two-page spread are the 360 logo and the slogan “Jump in.” On the left page are these words, written in font that looks like handwriting: “Dear Mr. Kojima,” forming the sentence “Dear Mr. Kojima, Jump in.”

For those unaware, the “Jump in.” slogan has been widely used by Microsoft to promote the Xbox 360. So, what does this mean? Is Kojima Productions going to develop for the Xbox 360 in near future, or is it just a joke? In the past, we have known Hideo Kojima to go on record saying that he thinks Metal Gear Solid 4 could technically be done on the Xbox 360 but he had no plans to bring it to the Microsoft platform. Hideo Kojima is famous for the Metal Gear Solid series but also did games such as Boktai and Zone of the Enders.

if metal gear comes over to the 360, sony is offically dead.

They still have Final Fantasy

That’s also on Xbox 360 and Wii ;)

FFXIII is coming to the 360?

Sqeenix goes where the money is. Look how they backstabbed Nintendo when FF7 was announced. They could jump ship if Umbrella…I mean Microsoft digs deep.

By the way, where in the hell is Lost Oddessy, Blue Dragon and Kotor 3. I can only take Oblivion’s glitchy but fun goodness for so long. Damn, I guess it’s back to GRAW.

Yeah. And off topic but, Why no Rockstar table tennis hype?

Its table tennis, they want to hype the games they think will sell…ie.. Grand Theft Auto, Halo 3, GOW, Forza 2, etc…

did Kojima ever get around to making ZONE OF ENDER’S 2 . would mind seeing that on the 360

..you probably mean Zone of Enders 3 (as the 2nd was released on ps2 in 2003)

C’mon Dude,
You don’t think a Rockstar ping pong game will sell?……lol
I think it might be a sleeper.

YA!! I loved that game, it was such a good game yet too short though. I hope they make a #2 for that on 360 definately!

That was meant to be a reply to ANTO, rofl.

Oh and Table Tennis will, sell, believe that.

LOL
I listen to the kojima Productions report.
Lats episode they had a talk about the Show Maybe.

Kojima wanted ALL the ads that were on the regular Show Daily, MS, Nin, Sony press releases.

So I wouldnt hold your breath, its all part of the joke ;)

Would be cool, just need MGS4, last in the series on 360 :D

Haha ok that explains :)

There’s lots of cross-promotion between companies at E3 this year. For starters, I overheard a rumour that Bill Gates and Peter Moore both had a Wii in the toilets.

MGS4 would mean I officially don’t need a PS3. If this happens, 360 has all the games I need.

And I’m dying to get MGS4, I would even consider getting a PS3 for it JUST for that.

Yeah that crazy huh? P$3.. Bah.

I hope besides this funny joke the real PS3 killer Gears of Wars makes the hype of the 360 this E3 complete.

With a sudden and unexpected playable demo of the level we’ve seen on video from E3 placed today on marketplace.

That would make me smile from ear to ear and kick ars hard. It would make my YEAR!

For those still hoping MGS4 will reach the 360, take a deep breathe;

[url=http://www.oxm.co.uk/articles/news/stealth/kojima_no_metal_gear_for_xbox_360] Kojima says: “MGS4, PS3 exclusive”[/url]
