The cryptic Metal Gear Solid game is Metal Gear Solid Touch and it’s based on MGS 4. Players move Solid Snake with the touch screen and judging from these screenshots Metal Gear Solid Touch looks like a light gun game without a gun. Metal Gear Solid Touch comes out this spring and has eight stages. Beating stages unlocks bonus content like Metal Gear Solid wallpapers which is pretty clever. After the initial download goes live Konami plans to release additional stages for Metal Gear Solid Touch.
Before Metal Gear Solid Touch arrives Konami will release three other iPhone games in “late December”.
Dance Dance Revolution S Lite is DDR with touch screen arrow tapping.
Frogger is just like the arcade classic. Help a frog cross the street. Don’t get run over in the process.
Silent Hill: The Escape is a 3D Silent Hill game where players gun down familiar Silent Hill creatures like faceless nurses.
Frogger looks like a quick cash in, but Slient Hill: The Escape and Metal Gear Solid Touch don’t look half bad. While it might be surprising to see Konami jump on the iPhone bandwagon, Sega made a pretty penny with Super Monkey Ball and next year Square Enix is testing the waters with Crystal Defenders.
