Konami announced today that the Metal Gear Solid series will be appearing on the iPhone/iPod Touch platform through Metal Gear Solid Touch. Set for Spring 2009 release in North America, Europe and Japan, the new take on Hideo Kojima's stealth series will feature character and world elements from PS3's Metal Gear Solid 4 while giving players direct control over their targeting reticle and zooming through the touch panel.

Players will have access to eight stages initially, with more added in the future through download content. The game will also include unlockable Metal Gear series wallpapers and movies, which players can access by using points that they earn as they clear stages.

Joining MGST are iPhone/iPod Touch versions of three other classic Konami franchises, Frogger, Silent Hill: The Escape and Dance Dance Revolution S Lite. Frogger is the latest version of the arcade classic, with players controlling their frog directly through touch controls. DanceDance has players tap icons that fall from the top of the screen in synch with music. Silent Hill is a 3D first person shooting game where players control movement via touch controls and aim via accelerometer controls.

These three latter titles will precede MGST with a release later this month. All are due throughout the world, except for DanceDance which is set for North America and Japan only.

Thank God Castlevania isn't on the list.

edit: I forgot the pics:

Might as well be, so you won't be disappointed when it happens.

Valid point. Silent Hill is bad enough though.

I have the target platform, and I'm a rabid (read: retarded) fan of MG and I won't be buying this Duck Hunt knock off bullshit.

Liar. I hear you can unlock Nightmare Before Christmas characters.

everybody keeps calling it a duck hunt knockoff, and I'm sad because there won't be a smarmy dog that belts out the guard alert sound when he laughs :(

Don't go down this path sir.

So what is this, Konami's variant of "Link's Crossbow Training?"

It's ironic actually, because the Duck Hunt dog is now laughing at Konami.

:fail:

:chunobi:

They'll be rabid MGS tards who will buy a iPod Touch just for this game.

Believe.

I might bite on Silent Hill if it's good

Dial Dial Revolution, anyone? :p That makes about as much sense as playing Street Fighter with a flight stick. Play a real Dance Dance Revolution using a mat, or GTFO.

Konami should use the Beatmania franchise for the iPhone instead. Beatmania's controls would translate better to the touch screen.

Who fucking cares? It's the iPhone.

Hlaffle flaffle waffle traffel. Maffel de raffel maffel delaffel. Flaffle MGS flaffle laffle raffle snaffle.

You guys are full of so much hate.

Probably the same people who bought the ga-ko clocks and MGS4 PS3s. I used to be about as rabid as MGS tards get, but even I didn't buy MGS Mobile. Not too excited about this either, but I also don't understand why some people insist on taking this stuff as if it was a personal insult.

The Silent Hill game should have just had one of the nurses standing there, and you can touch her.

Does she respond to touching?

On somewhat unrelated news, I ponyed up for the 2.2 Update and DL'd some Zen Pinball game, Katamari, and Price is right.

If nothing else, it'll give me something to do while waiting for appointments. Too bad the games don't use the iPod speaker.
