If you share my distate in shelling out any amount of cash for iPhone apps but want to give Metal Gear Solid Touch a go, you’re in luck — Konami evidentally wanted more people to get a taste of the game as they have recently released a trial version onto the App Store.
Entitled Metal Gear Solid Touch Lite, the trial will run 84.4 MB and feature 3 full levels of tap-shooting action.
After fiddling with the game for a bit I’ve discovered it to be quite fun but found my finger getting in the way causing me to miss my target. I probably won’t be buying the game but perhaps after trying the Lite version, you will.
It seems that the original release of Metal Gear Solid Touch for the iPod Touch and iPhone wasn’t complete, ending almost randomly leaving players in the dust.
Well, Konami has announced that the game has official been finished and an update has been sent to the App Store for all to download for free
Joystiq reports that the update adds 8 new stages along with new unlockable wallpapers and a bunch of bug fixes.
A new job recruitment page recently went live on Konami’s website seeking developers for, what else, a continuation of the Metal Gear series.
According to Joystiq, that mess of Japanese characters displayed on the recruitment page states that Konami is looking for developers for console and mobile Metal Gear titles.
Since Metal Gear Touch is on it’s way, it’s safe to assume that this listing will help in the development of more games like that. But what about the console? Metal Gear Solid 5 anyone? Hell, maybe we’ll see a Metal Gear Wii title.
iPhone owners anxiously awaiting Metal Gear Touch will be happy to hear that new details regarding the portable game have emerged.
An “Advance Edition” of the game is apparently set to hit Apple’s App Store towards the end of this month. Theres no word on pricing but we do know that it will include the first 12 levels from the final game along with an update adding 8 more levels on an unannounced date.
Konami also added that the game will feature Old Snake in locations like the Middle East, Eastern Europe, South America, and of course, Shadow Moses.
I just hope this game isn’t too much money, I have a problem spending more than $5 on a game for my cellphone.
Konami clearly hasn’t turned it’s back on the developing platform that is the iPhone, especially with their recent announcement of Metal Gear Solid Touch.
What you see above is the game’s debut trailer and I have to say, the graphics are absolutely gorgeous for such a device.
Can anyone say best selling iPhone app of all time?
