A METAL GEAR YOU CAN TOUCH
Killing latent dreams that we might get a shrunk down and touchable version of PSP strategy/card game Metal Gear Ac!d, Konami has pulled back the curtain on that earlier teaser and revealed that, as some guessed, it will be bringing Metal Gear Solid Touch to the iPhone/iPod Touch.
It’s still not yet clear precisely how Touch works, but it’s not hard to imagine the on-rails scenes of Metal Gear Solid 4 shrunk down and working honestly quite well for the iPhone, with Konami’s only gameplay hints being that players can “move their alignment or switch to zoom mode” as they play.
At the same time, Konami also announced versions of Dance Dance Revolution (an obvious fit, especially in reaction to earlier innovator Tap Tap), Frogger, based on the original arcade game and not its less successful later 3D remakes, and, intriguingly, Silent Hill: The Escape, a first person shooter that likely won’t be too far astride from its House of the Dead-esque light-gun arcade game.
The latter three games are expected sometime in late December, with Metal Gear due by Spring.
