Konami stopped being relevant after SNES, basically. Of course there are many other great titles post-SNES, but I could pick a random game before, see the Konami logo and say "this is going to be the tightest shit ever"
And this proved to be true with the Tiny Toon games, Rocket Knight Adventures, Ganbare Goemon, TMNT, Sunset Riders, Gradius, Twinbee, Gradius, Contra, that one 2P robot fighting game I forgot the name, International Superstar Soccer Deluxe, Track & Field, Castlevania etc etc.
Nowadays Konami either lives off of:
1-Castlevania
2-Pro Evolution Soccer/Winning Eleven
3-Arcade cabinets/Pachislot
4-Metal Gear
and now that 1 and 4 are kinda in shit moments, there's not much to do - especially when item 3 is Japan-exclusive. Things are really bad for Konami.
