Metal Gear Solid - Twin Snakes, Mario Easter Eggs

Thanks to Game Informer for its hands-on preview of Metal Gear Solid - The Twin Snakes for GameCube from yesterday's previously mentioned Konami Gamers' Day. The reporter notes that "it seems... clear that Konami is attempting to give gamers the opportunity to see what it would be like to play MGS from the eyes of MGS2", and reports on some Nintendo-specific easter eggs that have been added: "While [demo-ing part of the game set] in an office complex [MGS:TTS creator Denis Dyack] examined nearby desks scattered throughout the room. On one was a small statue of Mario and Yoshi. Shooting the Yoshi statue caused it to belch out his characteristic yelp, while shooting the Mario statute made a classic Nintendo '1UP' noise." IGN Cube also has hands-on impressions of the title, which is set to launch in March.

From the article:

The ninja, rather than being rather static and in one place like he was in the original, had new moves and actions like displaying his marital arts moves in preparation for the battle, as well as splitting a bullet shot from Snakes gun in half with is katana.

Yay for proofreading, eh?
