Konami Drops All Games to $0.99

Konami is having a massive sale discounting every single one of their games to $0.99. No matter what your take on the games, there's definitely deals to be had here.
- Power Pros Touch ($3.99 -> $0.99)
- Krazy Kart Racing ($2.99 -> $0.99)
- Silent Scope ($2.99 -> $0.99)
- Metal Gear Solid Touch ($5.99 -> $0.99)
- Dance Dance Revolution S ($4.99 -> $0.99)
- Silent Hill ($4.99 -> $0.99)
There's no indication how long the sales will last, but it's safe to say that despite any shortcomings every game listed above is worth at least $0.99.
Too bad they arent available in my country (Chile). Great sale anyways.
Nor the UK, lame konami, lame
This seems to be US-only… tried all the links, nothing found…
Not in The Netherlands, neither. Silly move.
There was a Europe only sale earlier this year without a USA sale. It may be that the marketing depts of Konami for the US and European markets operate independently.
Or that they are trying out the sales in different markets as an experiment to compare the effects.
Already picked up Krazy Kart. Am tempted to get a couple more here
Me too. I think I'll pick up DDR and Kart
Thanks Konami hehe
Can anyone throw out some quick recommendations? For example, I heard Silent Hill was terrible, maybe not even worth the 99c.
Krazy Kart Racing isn't very good either. However, now that Shrek Kart by Gameloft costs $5 and Cocoto Kart Online by Eurocenter $3, it might be worth checking out for $1.
Dance Dance Revolution S(not S+) is a pretty good if you like the series, it's definitely worth $4.99 or more.
MGS touch is ok for $0.99, but don't expect it to be like the console versions, it's a touch shooting game with static background, if you played Battle Bears before then you will find this game very similar.
Yeah, I checked for the Konami stuff in the store here (New Zealand) ..it's all still full price. Looks like a US-only sale ..or maybe they forgot about the rest of the world for a minute.
I could get Dance Dance Revolution but .. well .. it's Dance Dance Revolution..
Can someone update the article and mention that it's US only? It's deceiving and makes the rest of the world check iTunes and get disappointed when the games are still full price.
MGST is FINALLY at the appropriate price
Yeah.. please update the article to say it's US only guys. It's just annoying to discover these articles. Don't you guys have relationships with toucharcade members in other countries so you can get a quick verification before ya post? Heck, I bet if ya tweeted the question you'd have a response in two minutes. (Crowdsourcing can be a powerful thing .. and can only help to make the site more trusted by its members. ..good competitive advantage.)
There are way too many countries to verify and would be a pita. If Konami doesn't explicitly announced the exclusivity, then blame Konami for the lack of information.
It's also available in Canada.
I confirm that the prices are good for the canada store as well.
Although for .99$, not even sure which of those would be a good buy. Can't say I see one of those are must buy right now.
ddr is the best iphone rythmn game
At a buck its hard to lose on these games.. Even the bad ones.. But I am enjoying Silent Scope.
In Europe prices didn't drop…
DDR S is definitely worth 99 cents. Very good rhythm game. I just tried the MGST demo and it seems kind of fun, but I'm not sure if it's really going to prove to be 99 cents fun. The demo is fun, but if this is all it is for the entire game I can see it getting pretty old pretty quick. Still, I might get it. Not sure.
None of the Konami titles are available where I live (Argentina), not even at full price. I don't really see what the point of not releasing a game somewhere is…
Sweet! I ended up grabbing Krazy Kart Racing, Dance Dance Revolution S & Dance Dance Revolution S+. I already bought Power Pros Touch, Silent Scope, Metal Gear Solid Touch & Silent Hill during previous sales.
Def. picking up MGST and DDR S. Thank you, Santa Konami!
It's so damn annoying that DDR is still not available outside US!
Strangely enough, Krazy Kart Lite does not install on the iPod Touch, but the full version is suppose to. Not gonna buy Krazy Kart until I can try out the Lite version (it does indicate iPhone only, not iPod Touch).
Isn’t it incredible that none of the titles are available in the Spanish App Store?
Yep – The Konami Sale is not available on Europe. The Portugal iTunes Store is showing the apps\' regular prices.
Lame, Konami.
Time to refresh your business models — the market REALLY is global nowadays, you know?
No luck for Aussies either. Disappointing.
US only
Lame Konami, just lame…
just bought it, plays (single player at least) on the ipod touch 2G. I'm not able to see any internet game rooms when connecting to the 'Offficial PolarbitSWE' server, just sits there flashing 'searching…'. Also when I go to local Wifi and try to create my own 'Game Room' the Start Race option is always disabled. So is this just busted or am I missing something?
whats better ddrs or ddrs+
I'm having a problem purchasing MGST, I get a 5002 error everytime I click to buy it. Grr.
I'm getting the metal gear solid game for sure!
Not available for Greece too
