An enhanced version of Metal Gear Solid Mobile,
originally released March 2008 in North America by Verizon, has been announced for
Nokia's N-Gage mobile gaming platform.
Unique additions to the title include an in-game camouflage system that utilises the phone's camera and unlockable achievements in the form of N-Gage Point Pickups.
Furthermore, Nokia will be the sole distributor of all future KONAMI mobile titles. These will be made exclusively available for purchase on all compatible Nokia Nseries devices via the N-Gage Store.
Nokia and KONAMI, a leading global developer, publisher and manufacturer of electronic entertainment properties, today announced that KONAMI mobile titles will be added to the N-Gage mobile games platform. The mobile version of the award-winning METAL GEAR SOLID® will be the first title in the games line-up. METAL GEAR SOLID® MOBILE has received top honours at the 2007 International Mobile Gaming Awards (IMGA), taking both the Grand Prix and Operator's Choice Awards.
The new version of the classic game features original content that can only be found on the mobile platform. METAL GEAR SOLID® MOBILE includes never-before-seen dramatic 3D art displays and camera work. The detailed in-game graphics capture the atmosphere of the METAL GEAR SOLID® series and create a depth that completely draws the player into the game, and pushes the capabilities of the mobile platform. Players face the extreme tension of solitary infiltration in this version of the tactical espionage action game developed in conjunction with Ideaworks3D and utilizing its Airplay 3.5 SDK. An in-game camouflage system utilizes colour samples from the scenery of the real world captured by the handset's camera. Moreover, additional controls are introduced that are made especially for mobile devices.

I thought the pictures would have given that away
Madness!
Bringing it back made sense since the mobile gaming market and casual markets are huge these days. Why not infuse your own phone with gaming capability since everyone else is doing the same.
You act as if they brought back the hardware platform, maybe having a read of the article would have been of use.
