KONAMI announced today that METAL GEAR SOLID MOBILE for NOKIA's mobile game service, N-Gage, is scheduled for release late in June, 2008.
METAL GEAR SOLID MOBILE utilizes the handset's camera to incorporate gameplay that can only be experienced on the mobile platform. The camera function is used to change the color of the character's suit as well as provide an optional control for a portion of the game. The N-Gage release of the game supports five languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish and German.
METAL GEAR SOLID MOBILE received top honours at the 2007 International Mobile Gaming Awards (IMGA), taking both the Grand Prix and Operator's Choice Awards.
NOKIA's N-Gage is a mobile game service that began in April 2008 and is supported on N-Gage compatible handsets that are available worldwide. Users can compete with players from around the world and also participate in the N-Gage Arena game community.
