My thoughts after filling out the KONAMI heritage games survey

I don't really care about the possibility of a prize for participating in the survey. It is a good outlet to respectfully request for a Konami game series revival or sequel. A safer way than trying to "spam" their  English Twitter account.

Of all the Konami owned franchises Silent Hill was strangely omitted from the selection screen. Obviously having to due with what happened with Silent Hills/PT.  If you're a fan of Contra, Gradius, Castlevania, Vandal Hearts, Bomberman or in my specific case "Suikoden" or Genso Suikoden. This is the best way to let Konami know just how interested are you. Look I can understand that it's tough to think of 108 characters for each installment and think of an overall theme  but it's been almost a whole decade since Suikoden V was released on the PS2. Thanks konami for finally digitally releasing Suikoden II on PSN.

That's right the series never landed on the last generation consoles (XBOX 360 and PS3)  unless there was a Japan-only release I don't know about. We have yet to see what the series can look like with HD/1080p graphics.

 I'll reiterate some of the points I put on the survey.... What I like about the Suikoden series was the turn-based combat  mixed in with some strategy battles and recruiting those 108 possible characters that hang out at your base. Final Fantasy has Cid and the Suikoden series has that fast-travel character named Viki  This is also one of those RPG series that had co-op/ team up attacks like those found in Chrono Trigger. As for musical soundtrack. The 3rd game has my overall favorite theme music.

The indie game scene has been trying to fill in the void left by Contra with games like Broforce and Mercenary Kings.
