Metal Gear ? & ! lights, alarm clock and talking boxes claw crane prizes shown at Japan Amusement Expo
At JAEPO (Japan Amusement Expo) 2015, an event taking place in Makuhari Messe that focuses on arcade products, a new line of Metal Gear Solid V catcher prizes has been unveiled. Shown at the Taito booth, these items are meant to be prizes for so called ‘UFO catchers’, also known as a claw crane or crane game.
You can see the various items displayed. The item on the far right is a cardboard box that emits sounds: you’ll hear characters like Kaz and Snake talk when you touch it.
These ! and ? light up and make a sound when they detect movement.
The last item is an alarm clock with Metal Gear Solid radio noises.

So much Merchandise, and no Release Date. Well, it’s not too bad. I had fun with UFO catchers at the Taito Stations and SEGA arcades in Osaka. I’ve won a few things actually.
Tbh all of the stuff looks pretty good and I’d get all of them if I could. Or I’d Just make it myself with some plastic, paper and light because that stuff can be made xD
I can already imagine the impossible prices from Japanese resellers…
Even though the alarm clock looks like a DIY project from 6th grade.
“How do we make a cool watch?”
“I know, lets just take a digital clock frame, stick a print out to it, cover that with plastic and tighten it with huge nails.”
“Awesome THAT IS SO COOL! YOURE A GENIUS and AMAZING Designer! WOW THAT IS WHY YOURE THE ONE WE HIRED!”
“High5!”
It looks good and all.. but seriously ? :/
you will eat your words when you know that includes the full “sins of the father” theme far ahead of release date and all the unreleased tappy iwase versions of the MGS main theme.. plus a DLC code to play as the alarm radio on MGO3
xD Are you sure about the MGS theme song ? Because I heard it had spoilers …
Also.. Hey I never said I didnt like it.. Infact, If i had the money, I’d probably buy it myself 😀
I’d love to have that alarm clock =).
Kojima and folks know how to put these merchandises into good use. Not every game do this merchandise stuff, but MGS is so big that many people want them.
waking to the sound of the ! would be a good way to jump out of bed immediately
When the article said MGS alarm clock I got excited. But the product itself doesn’t look that spectacular unfortunately 🙁
Hmmm well yeah I guess it don’t, but it still is MGS alarm clock xD!
and here i was expecting some new screenshots along the way….what a sucka, i am huh? Xd
There should be an alarm clock for when we get a release date.
Without a countdown.
Or one that promises to go off at release but goes off at random.
Just watched Starman from 1984 for the first time and what a fantastic movie ;D. I love Carpenter’s movies like The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China and Escape From N.Y. , but I never got to see this before. Jeff Bridges’ acting is so great in it ^_^.
Arigatou Kojima for suggesting it in your tweets 😉 !

If you haven’t already, make sure you watch the original Assault on Precinct 13!
Hmm not sure have I seen. Thanks for suggesting :D, will check it out!
Happy to help! It’s not really up there with Carpenter’s best imo (Which’d be the Kurt Russell trio and They Live, for my money) and it’s fairly dated and rough around the edges (owing to its tiny budget), but it’s well worth a watch. Stay away from the 2005 remake with Laurence Fishburne though, that one’s completely awful.
so much merchandise, not a single release date
Speaking of arcade products. I remember Konami announcing Metal Gear Arcade
I wonder if they’ll do something similar in a few years? ^^

How awesome would it be if they had a different arcade mode in one of the games where you play through famous fights throughout the series in the style of the MGS4 final fight of Snake & Liquid Ocelot. I don’t think it would work as a stand alone game, but as a sub mode, it’d be cool.
OFF : Just LOL !! – Metal Gear Solid 2 😀

Happy Valentine’s Day from Kaz
Happy V-day too ;D !
Happy Valentines Day Everyone at MGI!
Pick your pairs XD

Big Boss and Samus Aran
http://oi59.tinypic.com/2urt35s.jpg
Batou and Naked Snake 🙂
I pick the one that isn’t horrifying.
Batou is too manly for you.
I can’t argue with you there lol
You too Prince-chan <3 ! Hmm Samus ftw ;)…
Yeah Happy Valentines day.
Big Boss and Samus Aran, everything about that is awesome lol, now I know why Big Boss likes Eva because she reminds him of Samus lol.
Batou and Naked Snake…… You can’t celebrate valentines day with yourself so that option is invalid.

It’s a placeholder. Regardless, it’s safe to say a release in March isn’t going to happen anymore.
I know, it still hurts seeing it though
Nice new poll! I had to give my vote for Zanzibar Land 😀 and it is the thing I would love to see before Kojima stop doing games. But it maybe not gonna happen ;(, ’cause might take a long time and TPP will bring the timeline kind of into full circle anyway so maybe Kojima stop doing MGS after TPP.
Yeah, if any environment I want to see in the Fox engine it would be a nice outdoors one like Zanzibar Land, Costa Rica’s Rainforest, or the place in MGS3, Tsylinoyarsk god knows how you actually spell it I’m to lazy to copy paste lol. A beautiful environment is what I want to see and to be honest mainly indoor places it not what I think of when I want to see the Fox engine, especially places like MGS2 or MG1.
P.S. I voted for Costa Rica’s Rainforest with Zanzibar land coming close second followed by Tsylinoyarsk, Though I voted for Costa Rica’s Rainforest because PW was a handheld game so its graphics and presentation were far from what they could have been and thus I couldn’t stop drooling about what it would look like in the Fox engine 🙂
Aye that Costa Rica forest would be also amazing to see :D. I actually have been drooling about it too when imagining it in Fox Engine haha <3.
Lol np I think it was Tselinoyarsk, so you got pretty close. Zanzibar or Outer Heaven for me simply because the graphics are so old in them, so it would be incredible to see in Foxy Engine :).
OMG! Now I feel like I contributed something to the site. ( b ; v ;)b Maybe Nyxus could use my other suggestion. LOL I also voted for Zanzibar Land.
Oh it was your suggestion :D, cool! New poll ideas are always welcome imo ;), also don’t worry you’ve contributed a lot already by being here and commenting lol <(^_^<).
You know what merchandise i would really love to see? The actual freaking game.
Some day my friend…some day ;C .
I was going to make a joke about the “?” being a tpp release date count down timer…
but i think the phantom pain clock blinking 12:00 over and over would be more appropriate.
The alarm clock is shitty.
