In a recent interview between CVG and Hideo Kojima, creator of Metal Gear, Kojima expresses his thoughts on the Wii and Metal Gear Solid…

CVG: What are your impressions of Nintendo Wii and how did Snake appear in Smash Brothers?

Kojima: I’ve played Tennis, Zelda and Mario on Wii. I find Tennis very interesting. I played the early version but the E3 version is far more advanced. As a game designer, I’m very interested in creating something for the Wii. I’d like to run away from MGS 4 creation and create something for the Wii but unfortunately, I don’t have anything that I can announce at the moment. I have lots of ideas for Wii but I have a heavy schedule with MGS 4 and Metal Gear Online. Concerning Snake’s appearance on Wii in Smash Brothers, I’m friends with the designer of the game and I thought it would be nice if you could play as Snake – when I heard about the new game last year, I contacted the designer and we started working together.

Metal Gear Solid will not be coming to Wii because he has said numerous times that Metal Gear Solid is a Playstation style game. You can read the entire interview, complete with Metal Gear Solid 4 details, here.
