If you’re following all the pre-E3 coverage and whatnot, you may have already seen this, but no matter- It is our absolute honor and privilege to share with you: Kojima Productions’ official trailer for their new “Transfarring” system, and the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection… AND the Zone of the Enders HD Collection. An official trailer brought to you by… us?!

It’s true, and we are as amazed as you are. Hideo Kojima himself handpicked Mega64 to demonstrate the concept of his new “Transfarring” system. What is that, you ask? It’s his new way of playing games- By continuing your progress/game save either on a home console OR a portable. It’s something we were already legitimately excited about ever since Hideo talked about it at the NGP conference last year, and we couldn’t be happier to be involved in its debut.

You can watch the trailer right here!

The process in making this video/trailer was really interesting. It’s a very different approach to a collaboration than our previous encounter with Kojima! In our Metal Gear Solid 4 video from a couple years back, we had Hideo joining in on the fun in some on-camera antics that were mostly Mega64′s own brainchild. This time around, it was a little bit of the opposite- It was the entire Mega64 cast, acting in a scenario that featured many of Hideo’s own ideas. He was unable to leave Japan for this year’s E3, so the task was on us to bring his concepts to life in an interesting way. And interesting is certainly one way to describe it!

Hideo and the rest of Kojima Productions were great in the sense that they were always on the same page in terms of humor. In fact, Mr. Kojima even thought it was a good idea to completely dub and translate our video into a full Japanese version! You can watch that version here! The impressive part about this is the awesome cast they assembled for the dub. Here’s the actual cast list:

• Janitor: Akio Ohtsuka (Solid Snake in MGS series!)

• Soldiers/Xbox 360 Fan Man: Hochu Otsuka (Galvez in MGS Peace Walker,
  

The Mega64 Podcast is live tonight! It’s almost E3, so excitement is in the air. I’m sure we’ll also talk about our recent involvement with Kojima Productions, and who knows what else… Watch below or at Ustream!

Well, it’s been a very busy week here at the Mega64 Studios, and with E3 coming up it’s going to get even busier! In this podcast I think we all know what we’re gonna talk about… Blink 182!!!! We talk about what Tom, Travis, and Mark are up to these days!!! Plus, we name off, in order: The best to worst all of their songs!!

Oh wait, I forgot we also talk extensively about our newest video “”KOJIMA’S SECRET” (Kojima Productions E3 Trailer)” We go into all that went into making this super secret video! I don’t think we have ever gone into so much detail on making a video ever. So enjoy!!! Listen to it here!

That’s all for now but keep coming back for all our E3 news!

Rocco is out sick so we tried to get a ton of guests on the podcast to fill the void of our missing friend. We talk about E3, running in mud and “The Deadliest Warrior” on Spike TV! So, you can imagine how nuts this gets. Click here to listen to the audio version!

That’s all for now, stay tuned for a new video that you will like.

Now that the dust of E3 has finally cleared… don’t you miss it? Don’t you find yourself reminiscing of E3 announcement trailers past? Well, we here at Mega64 are in the same boat. But fortunately, we know a way to relive the old times… By bringing out our “Behind The Scenes” footage from our E3 trailer we made for Kojima Productions! This making-of video for the “Transfarring” trailer shows the courageous journey of creating this bold trailer… Plunged into the depths of Konami’s headquarters… Touring the streets with a giant TV in tow… What kind of arduous tasks did we face? Find out in our Behind The Scenes video! There’s actually a lot of footage from messing around with the TV stuff in public… y’know, for all you “vidgames IRL” people.

Kojima Productions will also have a Japanese subtitled version of the video for the international audience! We’ll link to it when we get it.

This material may entertain you for the day… but what about beyond that? Need you see these souls in person once again? Well wish no longer- Mega64 is coming back to Anime Expo in Los Angeles! We’ll be having a panel entitled “Mega64 Panel 6.44: You Will (Not) Enjoy This,” and it may be our most fun yet! One thing we will promise: We’ll actually have stuff to show, rather than letting Q&A go for 8 hours with memes running on Powerpoint.

The panel will be at 9:15PM on Saturday, July 2nd! Hope to see you there for the festivities.

Thanks for visiting Mega64 today! We have a new piece of merchandise coming soon, strictly for the hardcore fans… Dare you return?

We missed this in our last update by mere minutes, but it deserved its own note anyway so we’re not too shook up about it! The whole Mega64 crew has been featured on the latest Kojima Productions Report podcast! About a half hour in, there’s a cool interview between them and Sean Eyestone from Kojima Productions, about the entire experience of working together. Listen to the end to hear some cool stories! We couldn’t be more honored. Check out the podcast today!
