Metal Gear Solid for the iPhone has been confirmed. It's called Metal Gear Solid Touch and will be based on the characters and story from Metal Gear Solid 4. There will be eight levels included in the release, with more levels to be added later on. Controls will be based on the touch screen (duh), and players will be able to unlock images and wallpapers with points earned from the game. Metal Gear Solid Touch will be out worldwide in the Spring of 2009.
Konami has also announced three other major franchises coming to the iPhone:
- Frogger: It's Frogger.
- Dance Dance Revolution S Lite: It's a game designed for people's feet, but now for your thumbs.
- Silent Hill: The Escape: Port of a year-old cell phone game.
All three of these games will be out worldwide by the end of December. Some screens have been released on all the games, which you can check out in the gallery above. There's no word yet on pricing, but keep an eye out on Touch.Konami for that and other details on all of these games.
iPhone owners, are you excited for any of these games? Metal Gear Solid Touch looks really impressive. Hopefully it won't have any four-hour cut-scenes, as that would totally kill the unit's battery life.

Couldn't they just stick with, ya know, gaming consoles?
A lot non PS3 users saw the "Rorschach-type test" and concluded it was MGS4 for the 360.
Better luck next time...also I allready have a Snake in my trouser he doess his job just fine...:P
Unless its ported to the Wii, which is probably more funny than sad.
hello konami anybody there? we use consoles and PCs for gaming get with it or join the rest of the lame developers who will be loosing money next yr.
Why the hell would they use green font? I think indigit is right.
because the power symbol is green on all appliances? Plus, people shouldn't want a water down MGS on the 360.
Like I said last night, disappointing.
::Goes back to still not buying a PS3 or iPhone to play its exclusives::

HURRAH!!
;)
Okami for the iPhone/iPod Touch. Confirmed.
Since when was Frogger a major Franchise? Flash Frogger is bigger than Frogger...
I'm not understanding the iPhone choice. At least Squenix decided to port FF Agito to the PSP after realizing that its original plan to stick it on mobile phones wasn't such a great idea.
Oh, and Frogger is a major franchise. All those Frogger games on the DS sold buckets.
Anyways, yeah, watch MGS: Touch sell more than MGS4.
Just watch. Konami's "Hardcore" days are over.
Don't even have an I phone as the shittiest phone provider is the only company to carry it, lol @ Rogers.
Seriously. so much marketin for an Iphone game?
How is a single web page with an image "so much marketin"? The gaming community took it and went wild with predictions.
Also infinite obscurity, Obama's reps put an end to his having a Zune thing, he doesn't, just in case you were being serious in your post. It depends on the price as to wether I'm picking this up or not, but more importantly how it PLAYS. I'll wait till I read about it and how it controlls before I think about getting it.
FUCKING
DAAAAAAMNIIIIIIIT
There are 3 reasons that's not feasible. One is the MGS4 was made to utilize the PS3 the best they could. With its unique hardware, it would take lots of time and money to port, time better spent on making a new cross platform MGS. Two is Microsoft charges extra for allowing developers to put games on 3 or more discs, and companies do not want to pay the fees. Third, Kojima loves PS3, and Apple.
I'm not a 360 fanboy or anything, I'd just really like to be able to see the resolution to the MGS plotline without shelling out $400 for a PS3.
I guess the iPod tie-in within MGS4 does make this kind of logical (not really, but, y'know) but still... Damn it.
They've made a new game for a hand held device rather then the same game on another home console.
