Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1 - Nintendo Switch

The image cover Konami generated is the generic one across all of the platforms most likely with just an added Switch logo in the corner. The actual cover has a disclaimer at the bottom about needing to download the games, which means MGS, MGS 2, and MGS 3. The oldies are on the card though. This collection is really neat because it includes the different variations of the games like the Japanese or European releases which did the content in different ways. You'll have everything though like the virtual missions and any particular cosmetics and dialogue variations. While there are some 30FPS limits on the Switch version that the PC/other-console variants don't have, I opted for this one because this one doesn't have the errors like the PC/Steam Deck has including crashing and startup issues, and on top of that doing some market research it's also the currently cheapest version when you purchase it just from Best Buy. Hopefully it gets a Switch 2 upgrade at some point.

This isn't just a trip down memory lane; it’s a reminder of why Hideo Kojima is a household name. The atmosphere of Shadow Moses is just as cold and oppressive as ever, but having it in handheld mode adds a layer of intimacy that makes every codec call and stealthy crawl through a vent feel brand new. It’s important to note that this version, found in the Master Collection Vol. 1, is a faithful port, not a remake. You’re getting the original 4:3 aspect ratio (with some cool side-border art) and the classic controls. It can feel a bit "tanky" if you're used to modern 3rd-person shooters, but once you find your rhythm, you'll be snapping necks and hiding in cardboard boxes like a pro. If you want to experience the genesis of the cinematic stealth genre, this is the way to do it. Whether you're a veteran "Big Boss" or a rookie "Snake," having this masterpiece in your backpack is a must. It’s gritty, it’s weird, and it’s undeniably cool.

This is amazing collection i had this game originally on the first playstation 1 way back in the 90s into the 2000s when metal gear 2 sons of liberty came out and metal gear solid 3 snake eater i never finished snake eater but did finish the other's so im excited to finally play it and end it. And of course play the others as well i recommend this game its truly a classic thank you hideo Kojima for this amazing series

I love this game great collection, brings back so much memories and the best price, the best purchase for the switch

With the Switch 2 update the gameplay performance has improved, now you can enjoy this game in portable mode.
