A recent trademark filing from Konami might mean more Metal Gear games are coming, but not in the way players might expect. The trademark Konami is pursuing is for "Big Boss", the name of one of the more important characters in the Metal Gear lore.
What might come as a shock to some players, though, is that the company plans on using "Big Boss" in the promotion of Pachinko machines. This isn't the first time Konami has taken one of their series and made a Pachinko machine out of it. Earlier this year, Silent Hill was given the same treatment.
Besides Pachinko, the trademark also mentions using the "Big Boss" name for smartphone games, board games, slot machines and console video games.
