New Metal Gear Game Could be Handheld

Kojima Productions and Konami are teasing a brand new game set in the Metal Gear universe. As with all teasers, however, we have been given precious little information about the game. A simple flash website displays a cryptic equation above a line of text which reads "A Next Metal Gear is...". Some overzealous fanboys have pointed to the green color and the resemblance between one of the symbols and the Xbox 360 power button to suggest that the long-rumored Metal Gear Solid 4 port is about to become reality.

Other facts point toward a slightly smaller announcement. That is, small enough to fit on a device like the Sony PSP or Apple iPhone. Kojima has talked about taking the Metal Gear Ac!d strategy series further, and Konami has expressed interest in mobile phone gaming. The PSP saw two successful entries in the card-based Ac!d strategy franchise. With the Solid Snake story arc all wrapped up in Metal Gear Solid 4, a tactics-style game actually makes a lot of sense. We'd love to see more Metal Gear action on the PSP, but like everyone else we will be holding our breaths for an official announcement from Kojima.

If you squint your eyes really tightly, it looks like a PSP.
