mgstWe’ve been getting updates on the availability of Metal Gear Solid Touch for the iPhone and iPod Touch for some time now…. well I can tell you that from March 19, you’ll be able to buy it!

Featuring original gameplay, characters and settings from the critically-acclaimed Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for the PS3, Metal Gear Solid Touch is the latest creation from the Metal Gear series, whose total worldwide sales have exceeded 26.5 million units. In Metal Gear Solid Touch, players can move a targeting sight and also switch to a sniper scope by manipulating the touch panel screen with their fingers. The game utilizes intuitive controls, making it easily enjoyable for anyone. There are 12 stages available at the start of the distribution and the locations and featured characters for each stage are based on the story of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Points are awarded upon completion of a stage and players can use the points that they have collected to obtain Metal Gear series wallpapers.

This is going to be schweet, oh yes! I’ll be WiFi-ing my iPhone-3G over to the App Store to download some Konami goodness!

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
