Seriously, I want an updated MGS that isn't The Twin Snakes. >.<

But for $40? Totally buying that.

It'd be cooler if it were for Wii.

I'm going to purchase it, $30 is a pretty good deal, plus the cover art is redone so there's continuity between them. I only really have two complaints about it, why not put Metal Gear Solid in Sons of Liberty's engine? psyduck;  And secondly, it pails in comparison to the awesome box set that Japan got over the summer. :(

I'm just wondering why they wouldn't make it multi-platform or something.

PS2 is so last gen

1. Port old MGS games to PS2 for little to nothing.
2. Release to hungry MGS fans
3. ???
4. Profit

Simple as that. Porting to a current gen system would cost money and could potentially mean less profit.

I still find this a bad thing they have done. They really should have ported them all to Wii with updated graphics.

That makes no sense. If anything, they'd be ported to the ps3.

Porting to the Wii is a fucking stupid idea. Sony systems is where the MGS fans are, the PS2 has a way bigger user base, and it's even cheaper to keep the games on the system they were originally made for.

The collection is only being used to cash in on the franchise and prepare people for MGS4.
