The Metal Gear franchise has made that inevitable jump to the iPhone and iPod Touch with today's release of Metal Gear Solid Touch. Tap, tap, taperoo. You didn't think we were going to let that go without discussing it, did you.
Nick Chester, Brad Rice, and I put together an impromptu roundtable discussion of this new mobile game over beers and peanut butter-filled candies. We chat about how Snake makes the transition to the small screen, showing you how it all works with game footage. And we answer the pressing questions: Where did the cutscenes go? How do you reload? And what the hell are those little ducks and frogs? You'll find all of that out in this video after the jump. Our full review goes up tomorrow.
Also be on the lookout for a few random Destructoid guest stars. I swear, this whole company is full of camera whores!
Dale North is Destructoid's Editor-In-Chief, a founding editor, and specialist in Japanese gaming. An accomplished musician, Dale was reporting from Japan during the earthquakes of 2011.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Yeah, it's a shitter game
Great Discussion guys! We don't like to read, so I think every news article should be a video. I think that would be fucking awesome.
Also
Chad's hot bod made this video x10 on the win and awesome scale
even the gameboy color one seems better
Chad.. without a shirt on, fapfapfapfafpafpafpafpafpafpapfapfapf.
The game looks sweet, and the Dtoid office looks really nice.
Thanks for the invite to the office too. I'll be there in a few weeks.
Nick sucks at games.
I want to see Niero shirtless... I want to see Jim Shirtless.. I want to see...
umm maybe not Jim...
MOAR SHIRTLESS PEOPLE PLEEESE!!!
And yes, that look shirtless Chad gave is perma-burned onto my retinas.
Love the video!
Also, Chad.
Nick and Dale, you guys are awesome. Too bad Dtoiders are spread all over the map...a weekly video podcast with the two of you would be something I'd watch religiously :)
I wish my office looked like that.... You guys taking applications?! hahaha
What was that?
I think I saw something....
O wait, it's just Raiko- I mean Chad.
