Hey, watever happenned to...???

[cernex]

Shuko Iwamoto, Tae Yabu, Tomohiro Nishio, and Masahiro Ikariko???

All of them are from Metal Gear 2 fame (the first two did character development, and the others did mechanical designs and music, respectively).

I know at least one of them worked with Kojima on Snatcher and so, but did of them keep working on the game buissness???

(P.S: How do I wish these guys involved themeselves in one last MG... seeing Meryl like a real-life person ... man...)

I ran those names through imdb.com and couldn't find anything about Shuko Iwamoto.

Very little is listed for Tae Yabu except the Monster In My Pocket videogame from 1992. Nothing except what you stated could be found about Tomohiro Nishio and Masatoshi Ikariko.

I did a google search for these guys and found a page that looked like Tomohiro Nishio's personal page here: www.qe2nd.com/tomo/index.html However, it looks like it hasn't been updated since 2002 and there isn't much there to begin with. Nothing could be found on Ikariko except that he's in the MG2:SS credits pretty much. Yabu worked on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters and Batman Returns, both titles from 1993. That's all I could find. After that, they just trail off into oblivion apparently.
