Metal Gear Arcade brings all the fun of stealth to an open, crowded, and loud area

In Japan the AOU arcade show started, and we’re getting videos of the revolutionary games left and right. One of these such games is Metal Gear Arcade, which brings all the fun of stealth into the crowded, loud, and open area that an arcade offers.

The game looks quiet fun actually, I just don’t really…see it catching on that much? I mean I don’t even remember when the last time I saw an arcade was. But this is in Japan and not the US so it’s different there I guess. I don’t know, what do you guys think?

There will be pieces in a new Metal Gear Solid game? WTF?

Yeah, we were wondering what the fuck too when we saw the above image. That’s just a screenshot off a new website Konami has put up, and shows snake under a cardboard box with a little text bubble that says “Piece Walker coming soon”. Well, we don’t know what exactly a “Piece Walker” is, but there’s either some cleverness behind the title, or the person they hired to make the title is half fucking retarded.

It’s only on the Japan version of the site, so we’re expecting it to stay there, but odds are it’s some mobile device sort of thing. That or…yeah, that’s it.
