Kojima in Hamburg: a fan photo gallery

by Andrew Yoon { Jun 6th 2008 at 11:33AM }

The Metal Gear Solid 4 "World Tour" continues its wild journey. This time, reader nahworry offers his pics from the Hamburg signing. As expected, a mob of Kojima-fans waited eagerly to meet and greet the legendary games creator. We don't know how he does it, but doesn't he look so young in these pics? Maybe Snake could learn a thing or two from his creator ...

Check out all the pics on Flickr.

I'm surprised there aren't more shirts for this game worldwide. I want the 4 with the snake wrapped around it and that's all.

does anyone know if there is only a certain amount of people who get to meet kojima, if so how many people is it?

In London, it was 300. you'd have to check the local advertising to see.

I was there, but didn't get an autograph D:
The Line was so long T__T

Hi Vash, you were there today? Or at London? The line today felt longer than 300 people, but o.t.o.h. I couldn't even see where it ended, the floors at Saturn are that spacious. ;)

One of the problems today was that the ones at the start of the queue were the real otaku who wanted to have Kojima sign _all_ of their MGS games. The staff limited that to 'one sheet per person' after one hour, so that everyone would get a chance.

But anyway, I'd figure 300 is the limit. Imagine doing 300 autographs in a row, plus 300 handshakes in between! We don't want Kojima-kun to end up suffering carpal tunnel syndrome or worse, now, do we?
