Very excited about this. Never played this series, so this'll be my introduction.
Can't waiiiiiit
24 GB download. I might actually just stick with PlayStation for this purchase. Playing a Metal Gear Solid game on a non-PlayStation console feels wrong.
Nooooooo, not the download required for 20 years old game collection of 3 games. Come oooon Konami what you doing.
Guess I'll stick with the PS3 Legacy Collection thenNooooooo, not the download required for 20 years old game collection of 3 games. Come oooon Konami what you doing.
Looks like a great collection with faithful ports. Hope newcomers enjoy the best games in the series on this volume.
For newbies: Don't skip OG Metal Gear 2! It's one of the best in the series, criminally underplayed, and ties directly into the story of MGS1. Metal Gear 1 can be skipped if you don't have the tolerance for retro games. But the difference between MG1 and 2 is like jumping from Final Fantasy 1 to 6, massive leap in every department.
Damn.The worst thing is they probably could've given us everything but MGS3 + Additional Download (International versions + Videos) on a 16GB cartridge and yet...
I got curious about the Japanese release, hoping maybe it'd be different. Looking at the information, the cover has a warning about the game software and to check the back for more details. I was wondering if it was a "product of it's time" warning (which Metal Gear, with anything from that era, has stuff that didn't age well), but looking at the PS4 and PS5 covers, it's not there. So likelihood, Japanese Switch cartridge release is the same as the International version and the warning is about the download size information on the back.
Sigh.
yeah the information on the japanese webpage is the same. 2.4 gigs on the cartridgeThe worst thing is they probably could've given us everything but MGS3 + Additional Download (International versions + Videos) on a 16GB cartridge and yet...

I’m gonna need a guide on the order these games should be played. Had never heard of Snake’s Revenge before lol.
I mean, with the entire collection being ~115 GB on other platforms, this is an absolute given.So disappointed for the downloads… probably it’ll be the same for the Arkham collection… sigh…
Placeholder sizes. This is from Konami's website:I don't understand...
On the eshop the total size is 1.7 gb, and the breakdown is 300-500 mb per game, plus the additional content.
How can that be?
30gb bonus videos! Mamma Mia!Placeholder sizes. This is from Konami's website:
This normally happens when the physical games come on a cartridge with a download, the size is indicated in the eshop without the obligatory day 1 patch (the one that is applied to the cartridge).I don't understand...

Huh... didn't the leak say that Vol. 2 would include Portable Ops, Peace Walker (and perhaps other portable titles) as well as Revengeance?RUMOR: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 evidence surfaces
I guess Snake isn't done heregonintendo.com
This one certainly wouldn’t be coming to switch (could run it I imagine but the file size….)
I think Konami didnt care about size, they are putting 100GB dowload now xdRUMOR: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 evidence surfaces

I don’t think it’s that definitive to be honest. Just a timeline with inactive links. But IGN says they understand it to be true. I would think that they could do a 3rd collection with the portable games and revengeance too. Guess we will see, but 4 getting a full release outside of the collections would make a lot of sense.Huh... didn't the leak say that Vol. 2 would include Portable Ops, Peace Walker (and perhaps other portable titles) as well as Revengeance?
Honestly, people have been claiming for so long for a non-PS3 version of MGS4 that I can't imagine Konami just bundling it as part of a collection. Not when they could make a big deal out of it and sell it at full price (or near full price if they're feeling magnanimous).
Some insider tweeted (Andy Robinson? jez Corden? I can't remember) said Vol 2 should include Peace Walker and Metal Gear Rising. Don't remember anyone mentioning Portable Ops.Huh... didn't the leak say that Vol. 2 would include Portable Ops, Peace Walker (and perhaps other portable titles) as well as Revengeance?

So I just checked, because I also didn't remember who said it originally. It was Jez Corden in this Windows Central article:Some insider tweeted (Andy Robinson? jez Corden? I can't remember) said Vol 2 should include Peace Walker and Metal Gear Rising. Don't remember anyone mentioning Portable Ops.
If it's MGS4+MGR+Peace Walker, it's gonna be a pricey collection. But that's no issue, Konami is already selling the games of Colection 1 individually.
The Classic Collection may also come in volumes, based on what I've heard, with Metal Gear Rising, PeaceWalker, and other spin-offs like Portable Ops hitting as part of a "Vol. 2" Classic Collection. Some of the details on the Classic Collection are a bit murky, so take it with a grain of salt. MGS1-3 re-releases are almost certainly in, though.
