This is enough to get <em>anyone<\/em> excited, of course. However, VGC&#8217;s source has reported that this new title will likely be related to a smaller project, and not those rumours of a Castlevania, Silent Hill, and Metal Gear Solid revival.<\/p>\n<p>So, what does that leave us with? Konami is already showcasing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/super_bomberman_r_2\">Bomberman R 2<\/a> during the event. There&#8217;s always the <strong>Suikoden<\/strong> series \u2014 though franchise creator Yoshitaka Murayama is off creating his own Kickstarter spiritual successor in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/eiyuden_chronicle_hundred_heroes\">Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes<\/a>. Or, how about a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/ds\/lost_in_blue\">Lost in Blue<\/a> game?<\/p>\n<p>During this unknown announcement, voice actor Yuji Kaji \u2014 who&#8217;s famous for voicing Adol in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/ys_viii_lacrimosa_of_dana\">Ys VIII<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/ys_ix_monstrum_nox\">Ys IX<\/a>, Takumi in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/3ds\/fire_emblem_fates\">Fire Emblem Fates<\/a>, and Hope Estheim in <strong>Final Fantasy XIII<\/strong> \u2014 will be making a guest appearance, as someone who is apparently representing the fans.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll try not to get our hopes up too much, but we&#8217;re at least curious. Konami has been doing a great job with its compilations as of recent \u2014 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/contra_anniversary_collection\">Contra Anniversary Collection<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/castlevania_anniversary_collection\">Castlevania Anniversary Collection<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/castlevania_advance_collection\">Castlevania Advance Collection<\/a> are all fantastic, and the just-released <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/teenage_mutant_ninja_turtles_the_cowabunga_collection\">Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection<\/a> is also kicking shell.<\/p>\n<p>You can check out Konami&#8217;s full TGS 2022 line-up over on <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.konami.com\/games\/event\/tgs\/stage_schedule.html\">its official website<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>What would you like to see Konami bring back?
