At the Arcade Operator Union Expo in Japan, Konami presented even more of the cabinet for Metal Gear Arcade, featuring a pair of goggles, a headset, and a mounted gun to operate in stealth combat with.
The sit-down unit is fitted with a pair of eyeglasses for the player to view the action through, with gun-shaped controllers to aim and attack with. The big monitor and 5.1 surround sound offer up an even more immersive environment, all the more important when you think how busy arcades are. Of course, when we say “arcades,” we mean Japanese arcades, since they don’t really exist in the U.S. any longer, and we won’t likely see this unit come stateside in a non-import capacity any time soon.
The recently-concluded Arcade Operator Union Expo in Japan got an even deeper look into the cabinet for Komani’s approaching Metal Gear Arcade. Announced last June, the gameplay is set off a adapted version of Metal Gear Online, but the fully-loaded arcade unit should offer up a much another experience.
