Konami has filed a pair of trademarks that hint towards possible
Metal Gear arcade action in the future. The listings are
Metal Gear and
Tactical Online Action, and both are described as "arcade games, namely, amusement game machines, coin-operated video games, electronic game machines" in the filings. With
Metal Gear Solid Touch recently arriving on iPhone, it looks like
Konami is willing to put the franchise on more platforms than ever (except for, you know,
that one).
Let's just hope that this
Metal Gear -- if it ever becomes more than a trademark -- gets a little more TLC than that
silly Silent Hill arcade game.
