Four Konami games coming to iPhone, including Metal Gear, Silent Hill

And Dance Dance Revolution, if you can believe it. Konami has announced the impending arrival of four downloadable iPhone games, with all but one scheduled to arrive "from late December." The genres covered are "Music," "Action," "3D Shooting" and the slightly provocative "Touch Shooting." As for the corresponding titles:

Dance Dance Revolution S Lite, "a music game where you tap the arrow icons that appear at the bottom of the screen in time with music."
Silent Hill: The Escape, "a first-person 3D shooting game that lets players utilize the control features only found on the iPhone and iPod touch ..."
Frogger, "a simple game" which probably doesn't require any further explanation.
Metal Gear Solid Touch, "an original game that brings to life the world and characters" of MGS4. Eight "touch shooting" levels will be available in the initial release, with more to follow.

MGST is currently slated for a Spring 2009 release. All the games are coming to North America, Japan and Europe, with the exception of Dance Dance Revolution, which is apparently too hip for the electronic rectangles in Europe

No, not to the iphone!! To the DS!!

I really don't know why apple are pushing this as a games machine because it has tilt and better graphics. It's price entry point is way too high and the battery life is immeasurably poor.

I wonder if any portable device has the same history of benefits and disadvantages and have failed miserably? Game Gear? LYNX?
