E3 09: First picture of Metal Gear Arcade photo

Kotaku has managed to get their hands on the very first shot of what Metal Gear Arcade will look like, and it looks pretty badass. Everything that was mentioned in the press conference is there: networked cabinets & big 3D goggles. To be honest, it kind of creeps me out wearing something that's been worn by a ton of people before me, especially something I have to put on my face. I hope the game comes with a Clorox Wipe dispenser installed as well...

Excited for the game, or does an arcade Metal Gear Online not sound very interesting to you?

That looks SOOO aweosme, too bad the only "good" arcade is an hour away and they apparently sold so it's probably going to be some stupid reidential zone now *sigh*

I remember the Jurassic Park game (at said aracade above) that you sit in the booth and closed curtains with light guns and it smelt like sweat and sex in there, it was disgusting.

Yeah, an arcade game, ok fine for Japan, but why would they announce that at E3 where theres a 85% that a MGS fan will never be able to find/play this?

This looks pretty awesome... Such a shame that the only arcade I know of nearby is way overpriced and suffering financially. Booo...

Nice idea, especially for japan. I doubt I will ever get to play it, unfortunately. Like the online options, that maybe Konami should think about porting this to PC. It might survive there.

I want to know if I'd be able to use my current MGO characters with this, or if this arcade version is going to be entirely separate from the console MGO, and just based on the systems MGO uses.

Well...at least...I hope there is less lag... X3

My closest arcade is 2 hours away and it sucks, I'll probably never get to play this but I do know that MGS online is awful.

Glad it's called Metal Gear Arcade. People seem to forget that the franchise is "Metal Gear", not "Metal Gear Solid". Stupid point, I know, but this kinda thing rattles me.

I'll get excited if it shows up at a Gameworks near me.

@Chronic Logic Good luck with that.

This shit looks badass. I'm curious as to how it'll actually play.

I wonder how many quarters it'll take to successfully overcome the Konami ID registration...

I just hope this gets over to the U.S. After all, a lot of Japanese arcade games don't make it over.

I can't imagine this being anywhere outside of Japan. Ever.

We should get behind this; Kojima's brining back the arcade. Assuming the U.S. gets some.

I wonder if it will have hour long cut scenes.

There aren't any arcades around to play it. So... yeah. I'll never even see that. Sadness.
