So says gamefront.de in that wacky Germanic language of theirs:

Gradius & Coded Arms: Stoppt Konami fünf PS3-Projekte?

10.01.07 - Konami soll die Arbeit an fünf PS3-Spielen angeblich eingestellt haben. Das schreibt die Famitsu. Demnach sollen folgende Projekte wohl nicht mehr erscheinen:

- Gradius
- Coded Arms: Assault
- Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu
- Neues Actionspiel
- Neues Rollenspiel

Konami hat den Entwicklungsstopp noch nicht offiziell bestätigt.

diekatze probably feels about as good now as I did when I heard Dragon Quest 9 was announced for the DS.

It was announced quite a while ago about Gradius VI being on "indefenite hold".

And if you made a thread about it then, I wouldn't have started this one today.

I guess the hold is more on the "definite" side of the fence now.

Well Im sad about No gradius 6 for a while, but I am happy about not having to Buy a PS3.

What's wrong with DWIX being released on NDS? o.o

It's not like DW is a franchise known by its graphics. Only 2 games of the entire series feature non-simplistic visuals (VI and VIII).

damn D:

Guess I'll just fire up 5 and kick some more Bacterion ass and hope that 6 comes out sometime.

On a system that doesn't cost my firstborn.

Well, the lack of a new Gradius game sucks massively, but I was honestly surprised that they did Gradius 5 as it's not really a major franchise.

It used to be. There were 5 of them in 5 years... Then it topped off and nobody cared. so they released sporatic installments

dog$, among other people, is not thrilled by the idea of playing a game over forty hours long in a franchise he enjoys on a handheld he doesn't own or want; this is neither unreasonable nor related to the subject at hand aside from the emotions evoked by the announcements

Stay on topic, please
