Metal Gear Review (MSX)

[Edmond Dantes]

I wish they would have ported the MSX Metal Gear games to the Genesis. The lackluster NES port was one of the best selling games for the system. I wonder why they never bothered with a port for the 16 bit consoles. There aren't any games like Metal Gear/Metal Gear 2 on the Genesis or Snes, thats for sure.

Yeah, those two games seemed like they'd be right at home on the Genesis.

Does anybody think we will ever see a modern console/handheld remake of the first two Metal Gear games?

Hideo Kojima has said he has no plans, but "if someone else wants to do it, that's fine."

Though personally, I rather agree with a certain Snake Soup article. The later games were made with the MSX Metal Gears in mind, and unless the games were straight remakes (IE same areas and dialogue, just all in 3D) then a remake would probably cause more kerfluffles than they solve.

But considering the PSP games pretty much already destroy the canon (Outer Haven is off of Costa Rica now? What?) that may not matter much.

I still dont know thats why I asked.

Yes, its in English.
