Today, health club company Konami announced that it will be removing thirty-one iOS gaming apps on September 10.
According to Inside Games (via Dr. Serkan Toto’s blog), the apps will not be updated to support iOS 9 or later. Some of the apps have English versions, such as Metal Gear Solid Touch (above), but Konami did not make any announcements regarding those.
