"How does a company like that end up ditching its New York Stock Exchange listing, its most famous developer and the eagerly awaited revival of one of its most-loved game franchises, all in the space of a month? The short answer is simple; this is what happens when a console publisher no longer finds the console game business to be worth its time and investment. After thirty years in the console business (Konami started publishing on the NES in 1985), the negative news around Konami this month is a consequence of it lurching out of the industry that made its name - and knocking over a few flowerpots on the way out."</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-85"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-85">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">McFerran, Damien. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/04/konamis_creating_a_new_castlevania_but_its_not_coming_to_consoles">Konami's Creating A New Castlevania, But It's Not Coming To Consoles</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180425183342/http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/04/konamis_creating_a_new_castlevania_but_its_not_coming_to_consoles">Archived</a> 25 April 2018 at the <a href="/wiki/Wayback_Machine" title="Wayback Machine">Wayback Machine</a>. <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_Life" class="mw-redirect" title="Nintendo Life">Nintendo Life</a>. retrieved on April 25, 2018.
