Kojima also used his love of best wii gun American action films and TV shows to give Metal Gear a cinematic narrative largely unseen in games outside the fantasy/role-playing genres. It quickly became an underground hit.
Since then, Kojima has developed and released seven more sequels and various spin offs in the Metal Gear series, building a rigorous mythology around its lead character, the special forces agent Solid Snake, and perfecting the stealth-action genre he xbox 360 bluetooth adapter spawned two decades ago. Collectively, the franchise has sold close to thirty million games.
