Revolution Rumour | Nintendo to Receive Exclusive Silent Hill?

Linking in with the previous story regarding Konami earlier today, NintendoCentral.org is reporting that there is word coming from Portugal that Konami is set to bring Silent Hill 5 exclusively to the Nintendo Revolution, the first time the main series has appeared on a Nintendo format (an off-shoot came to the GBA in Japan only, for reference). The site has translated what was written on 'Player Zone', where the original story arose, and below is a Cubed3 tidied-up version:



"Konami Computer Entertainment Japan and Nintendo yesterday announced the development of 'Silent Hill 5' for the Japanese company's new console, codenamed Revolution. Although everyone initially thought that the new edition of this horror series would arrive exclusively for PS3 [C3 note: since the rest of the series has been on Sony formats], it would seem that the development team was seduced by the innovative Revolution controller. According to Akira Yamaoka, Producer of the series: "We are excited with the great possibilities of the new control. We believe that the Silent Hill series will have a great jump [in the next generation] and the Revolution is the solution to materialise our innovative plans ". Silent Hill 5 will be launched exclusively for the Nintendo Revolution. The first images will be published, according to Yamaoka, during the Eletronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in May 2006."



Make of this what you will, but given that Konami is so interested in the GameCube's successor it would certainly not be surprising.
