You’d think there’d be a lot more jokes involving the words Touch and Solid in this news, but I leave it to your imagination.

Konami‘s even released a whole line of new MGS-themed cover jackets – looks like they’re only for Japan though.

You’d think there’d be a lot more jokes involving the words Touch and Solid in this news, but I leave it to your imagination. Metal Gear Solid Touch is now available for the iPhone, a day earlier than anyone expected. The game’s a hefty 90 MB, and costs US$ 8.

Konami‘s even released a whole line of new MGS-themed cover jackets for the occasion – looks like they’re only for Japan though. The skins are available for JPÂ¥ 4,500 (US$ 46.50). Hideo Kojima himself has a one-of-a-kind cover jacket for his own iPhone, printed with a picture of himself on it. Wonder how many people would actually buy that if it were available commercially.
