Konami burns half the price off Metal Gear Acid…in Japan.

As GameSpot says it was really only a matter of time before it happened. I have tried it for a quick run and I must say I was impressed with it’s gameplay and presentation; it’s on my list of games to buy for sure, just that now I’ll have to wait a few more months before they re-release it on the states or in Europe.

The price in Japan for this portable classic is 2,100 yen (or approximately $19).

Perhaps Capcom should follow Konami’s lead and do the same thing for the Rockman Dash games they’ve recently released.

Even though they are great games, they aren’t worth the same price of when they were originally released. Specially as they seem to be running on some sort of PS1 emulation due to the presence of some graphical bugs that were a part of the PS1’s engine thus hardly any “real” work was done for the PSP versions.

Of course this is only presumed, nothing has been proved yet but it was first pointed out by 1up.
