@@markellhawthorne2921 I remember Kjonami as it once was. The days before the dark times, before KONAMI. It's more pachinko manufacturer now than videogames publisher, twisted and evil. Many a happy day as a kid in the pub in the 1980's with my dad and mum asking them for 10p to play on the old Kjonami games. Happy days indeed:) Long live the old Kjonami!
@@SaigonBrit No, it's not. Also, fun facts: 1. They still make games. 2. They are mostly into arcade and phones now. 3. Pachinko machines are not only skill based but they ALSO are as profitable as arcade machines for the manufacturer, because the balls are provided by the parlor.
@@rosemarydwitasari4693 please! we’d say otherwise. if there was a new CEO for these guys, we should let the fans decide that one. if not the OG, then at least have somebody who knows what Konami stood for back in the day. trust me, don’t get me wrong, I friggin love their casino work no doubt, plenty of their machines here in the states, but I miss their console/arcade titles. sure arcades aren’t the hit they were back in the 80’s or 90’s, but those willing to give them a chance, with the right CEO, I think they’d shell out a hit.
@@iroquoispliskin7636 Not just Silent Hill, there's also taking their most popular IPs and putting them in Pachislots, and making threats to their employees stating that if they quit, they can't work for another company
And they made it even worse by removing the banner in 2013. EDIT: Apparently Konami Sports Club (a Japanese fitness room owned by Konami) still uses this logo.
@TehCincySpartan // Mr. Floydster.2 It's that bad in EA too? I was gonna play Silent Hills despite it being scary in so many levels and Kojima had a hand in the making, but everything's changed when I heard it was cancelled.
Konami has been doing well, recently. They are supporting their fans on Twitter and other places and releasing games again. Also there were rumors about supposedly employee abuse but that looks it was fake since Konami had won three years in a row a prize for taking care of their employees. Konami is still my favorite company and I am proud of they.
@@MrSuperspeedsonic Really? Where's the link of prize of taking care of employees? Because I find it... highly unlikely. That employee abuse thing that got leaked was VERY hard to deny.
@@ChrisX_212 And one report without proof or anything from an extern place is likely to be truth? Here is the link. www.konami.com/news/ja/release/2019/0221/ The prize is from the ministry of Economy, trade and industry in collaboration with Japan Health conference. I won't believe at all a report from Nikkei and even less is the information makes not sense at all of there is a lack of proof. If you want to be fair, I don't believe Konami is a saint company but I won't believe the first thing that someone put on the table about "Nyaa people from Konami is so cruel". I guess Konami is a company with either good and bad days. If not there is a prize by 2 extern companies saying that Konami is doing a good job, if someone don't want to believe it, all right lol Edit: Konami has multiple employee supports, for the woman, children and more. Edit - 2: If you want a less innocent proof, there is a japanese website with opinions about companies that says that the enviroment is good, and if there is overtime is paid.
It's only on MGS, it's a Psychonauts song.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--mx4RE3jrTs.html Most PS1 games like Silent Hill Suikoden and Castlevania got 1:25
1:12 It kinda warms my heart that MAKE A JAM! from the Dance Dance Revolution series is essentially a remix of this logo. Heck, they even have the jingle at 1:16 play at the very end of the song.
0:20: This is easily my favorite version of the theme, I'm glad they used this theme in some games (albeit a lot shorter) from the late 90s to the early 2000s. EDIT: different timestamp as the previous one (0:21) is incorrect.
Konami released a lot of video games including Castlevania, Metal Gear, Tiny Toon Adventures, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Twilight Scene It, Top Gun, Contra, Dance Dance Revolution, Winx Club and Double Dribble
Particularly, Konami had my attention and customer support when I knew Winning Eleven 2000: Medal He no Chousen. I had my 7 years old, I was taking out from the bath. Then my father and his friend from his company were installing the PS1 on the TV. Prontly, I've get into the videogame, and see the KONAMI Sports intro, and Jon Kabira with the "Wārudō sokka Jikkyō Winning Irebun: Nissei!" When I was on my 7, I never thought on Konami's intentions in other years. Hideki Hayakawa was the decay from Konami.
1:05 my most favorite since this is only available (from what i believe) in late 90's 3d arcade games and looks really great. the animation that build up the logo is really smooth
@@SombraSR It was used in Winding Heat and Midnight Run. There are variations of this particular logo with different sounds used in many of Konami's late 90's arcade games (Hang Pilot, Solar Assault, Racing Jam etc..)
Midnight Run:Road Fighter 2 and Winding Heat featured this logo in 1995/1996 GTI Club also used a short version of this at the end of each game session.
I really missed the old Konami logo. I hope they'll revive it at some point in the future, just like how Lucasfilm recently revived the logo for its gaming division (albeit in the form of one of its earlier incarnations, not the LucasArts version).
Konami was great in nes there graphics gameplay and soundtrack were phenomenal... . It was great even until 2008 what happen with kojima and killing silent hill really didnt help them at all . Hopefully it becomes great again
:21-:32 that was a good one and possibly the first time i have heard that one from Konami. the instumental tune it produced remined me of the last few notes of Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam's "lost in Emotion"... the last six seconds of the song.---1988.
Man! Even I like Konami and Konami has always been a big hit but then Konami is beginning to stumble and Konami use to be a popular company putting out a lot of games for the Konami franchises and has killed it with arcade games. But as time went by Konami sunk low and hasn't become just as iconic and famous as Nintendo and Capcom which is depressing. More importantly Konami needs make and release more future games so that Konami can come back on top and earn a spot next to Nintendo and Capcom. People love Nintendo and Gamers love Capcom but Konami needs more love and appreciation. Here are some popular Konami franchises that have a lot of games. The Metal Gear franchise-Over 30 games. (Popular) The Castlevania franchise-Over 30 games. (Popular) The Silent Hill franchise-Over 20 games. (Quite Popular) The Silent Hill franchise needs more future games. The Contra franchise-Over 30 games. (Popular) The Dance Dance Revolution franchise-Over 50 games. (Greatly Popular) The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise-Over 40 games. (Very Popular) The Yu-Gi-Oh franchise-Over 50 games. (Greatly Popular) The Bomberman franchise-Over 80 games. (Incredibly Popular) The Frogger franchise-Over 20 games. (Quite Popular) The Goemon franchise-Over 20 games. (Quite Popular) The Gradius franchise-16 games. (Underrated) The Twin Bee franchise-16 games. (Underrated) The Parodius franchise-7 games. (Underrated) The Suikoden franchise-10 games. (Underrated)
Whenever I see 1:12 I think of the Sega Saturn version of Symphony of the Night. A port that could have been so much more had the developers not been lazy with it
Pop'n Music, Thrill Drive, PES, Winning Eleven, and Metal Gear Konami were the best at that time.... Before they turned into a Pachinko business company
Konami made most of the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games as well as three games for the 2003 version. In fact, Konami and Nickelodeon had remastered the 1987 games into a complication game. Cowabunga Collection.
Konami can NEVER redeem themselves for all the horrible things they've done. But they don't care. They'll still continue to do scummy things and there's nothing that we'll be able to do about it. Their business will still go on, they'll still make money, and the fans will continue to suffer. Konami will never be the same.
@@anthonycassimiro2295 the one at 0:06 is the MSX1 version, the MSX2 version has the more authentic orange/red coloring, because MSX2 had more colors than MSX1.
I only WISH those logos used the anime tape version of the Konami jingle. but RIP GOOD Konami. The one that gave us Contra, Castlevania, Metal Gear, and many others. There's a reason Igarashi, Kojima and Yamane left; it's because Konami fell from grace. Unlike Capcom I don't see them recovering.
They actually used that jingle from the late 90s to the early 2000s (of course, only the last seconds of the theme is heard), even some games with the Ribbon logo uses this theme!
