For those who though that this was an April Fools joke, Kojima already did one this year called Assasin's Sneak, which is basically a trailer showing off the new straw cardboard box in Peace Walker. Why would he do Two April Fools Jokes? Also, I have a feeling Kojima is a Monster Hunter fan. First off, he's obviously heard of it if he's from Japan. Second, Snake was in SSBB because he loves the games. Third, Kojima was a fan of Assasin's Creed which is why he has items from the game in two MGS games. Also, MGS Peace Walker's game play is based on Monster Hunter. Therefore, it's possible that Kojima played Monster Hunter.
