New Snatcher game almost a certainty

You gentlemen may remember something called "Project S" being announced for the Wii and the only thing we knew about it was that it was an adventure game being developed for the Wii by Kojima and Suda51. There were many rumors about it being a sequel/prequel/remake of Snatcher. Well....

Makes me feel like playing through the original again.Meanwhile, Mikami's first encounter with Kojima's work was Metal Gear Solid -- however, he personally likes Snatcher more. Kojima and Suda 51 both reacted, "Ah yes, Snatcher," alluding to something. "Oh, should we announce it here?" "Maybe later, during Hidechan Radio?" (The show later lead to the live recording of Hidechan Radio by Kojima Productions).

Nope, but I did see some Saturn import discs for sale. Too bad every single version was expensive.

...maybe they'll include the original as an unlockable.
I'm wondering about how the interface will work, Will it be the classic interface from the original or will they use a more Deus Ex style of gameplay?

What's interesting is that (IMO) the MGS games and Killer7 are both notorious as titles that may not wow everyone on the nuts-and-bolts gameplay, but they really nail style and atmosphere. Transplanting that notion to a point-and-click adventure game steeped in anime and cyberpunk ... it seems like a perfect match to me, anyway.
EDIT: Shit, and if Mikami is actually involved and dealing with the nuts-and-bolts gameplay ... :shock:
I quote all of this for truth, justice, and the American way.
In other words, Wii = Win.
I once rented Lethal Enforcers just so I could play through Snatchers using the lightgun.
This news makes me pretty damn happy. I've been saying for years that Konami needs to make a new Snatchers game. I'm of the honest opinion that had Konami kept the Snatchers franchise around it may have been what RE is today.
I don't own a Wii yet, but if this comes out I'll have good reason to purchase one without hesitation.
Win.
You're thinking of the Saturn (which is impossible to emulate). The only problem I could see with putting the SegaCD games on the VC is the size of them.
Mikeryu: The first version of the original was released in 1988 and the SegaCD one (the only one that was localised and had all the voice acting) was released in 1994.
Someday I need to get the segaCD version but I don't know if my $5 junk-store sega cd actually works. It was filled with rust though the circuitry looked fine. Someday, someday.
This well educate you:

As far as the Metal Gear connection goes, there are quite a few references back and forth between this/Policenauts and Metal Gear. People would argue that they are in the same universe, however, a character that clearly dies in the Metal Gear series is alive and well in Snatcher.
The most obvious though is that in the future world of Snatcher, you have a Metal Gear, a small AI sidekick. The "Metal Gear" Ocelot talks to snake through in the first MGS4 trailer is the same thing.
I don't think it's set in the Metal Gear Universe, just references it. Bar named Outer Heaven, Gillian's little metal buddy named Metal Gear (Mach 2!)
this is great news for everyone.

Seems like maybe the sequel could be a first person detective game with a little Wiimote shooting thrown in here and there.
The level of detail in the original sounds promising for the sequel. I love games that really try to immerse you in their world.
THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH LIMES IN THE WORLD FOR THIS!
I am all for this.
only a wikipedia search away.
NiGHTS 2, Sonic Wii, Snatcher, Mario vs Sonic, Mario Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, Gears of War, Halo 3, DMC4, GTAIV, Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, MGS4...
