This is an excerpt from the Preview of the Nintendo Wii game Manhunt 2 by TVG
Despite the changes, Manhunt 2 is very much a sequel that follows a similar line to its predecessor. The chilling suspense, along with the overriding themes of paranoia and psychosis, should combine to create a thoroughly absorbing take on the stealth genre and one that creates an atmosphere beyond the likes of Metal Gear Solid or Splinter Cell.
Story appears to play a large role in the appeal of Manhunt 2, so it’s difficult to make too much of a judgement at this stage; however, the cliff-hanger ending has certain wetted our appetite and we’re looking forward to seeing more.

Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear Solid creator) in a recent issue of GamePro magazine let us know this:
You may hear Blu-ray is huge, gigantic, 20 GB or so, but that’s not really that big to us. One basic [gameplay] with HD visual and 5.1 sound takes up so much space that the capacity will become too small in no time.
Enough with Sony! What about the Wii?!
Wii! [laughs] Yes, I want to do it. I’m saying this everyday. But first, I have to face this giant that is called Metal Gear Solid 4, so until I’m finished with that, I can’t do anything.
But the Wii isn’t HD! It doesn’t have 4D!!
We’re not the ones who are saying we want HD. I’m not interested, myself, about HD at all. MGS games tend not to care about how clean the screen looks…we deliberately make the graphics look dirtier to give the atmosphere more life.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Snake
Snake? Snake! SNAAAAAAAKE!
The unexpected participant from Metal Gear Solid!
When this was first announced to the media, it was greeted with shouts of joy that resembled screams.
After much consideration, we decided to have Snake refrain from using real-world guns—instead, he’ll use lots of explosives.
What kinds of attacks will Snake unleash when he steps onto a new stage?
You’ll have to wait and see.

In a interview for CVG Hideo Kojima told that he would like to run away from Metal Gear Solid 4 creation and create something for the Wii.
this is the part of the of teh interview:
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.
