One of the games that revolutionized the haming industry and that you can carry anywhere thanks to the nintendo switch software, the vontrols were easy and the story was heartbreaking, the price was excellent for a 3 for 1 and lets not talk about the increadible bonus features that this game has. IF YOU LOVE VIDEOGAMES YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR COLLECTION!!!

I love this series, when i heard it was getting a release in a collection on the switch i knew i had to lock down a copy eventually. A true classic that deserves a modern audience, these games are some i think anyone who is a fan of action and stealth based gameplay should give a big chance to!

By far the best way to play the original 3 games, if only portable ops would come to the switch.

What Works Very Well
• For fans or first-timers, having all these classic titles in one place is a major plus. As one review put it: “If you’ve never played any of the Metal Gear Solid titles before … the Master Collection on Switch is a perfectly fine way to experience some of the most iconic games of all time.”
• The portability of the Switch version is a meaningful benefit: being able to play these deep, narrative-rich games on the go adds value. Customer reviews frequently cite nostalgia + portability as pros.
• Bonus content (graphic novels, soundtrack, screenplays) adds nice extras for completionists and fans of the lore
Where It Falls Short
• Technical performance on the Switch is a weak spot. According to a detailed technical breakdown by Digital Foundry/Nintendo Life: the Switch versions of MGS2 and MGS3 are locked at 30fps, have resolution/anti‐aliasing issues, and performance drops in several instances. 
• Presentation and packaging feel less than ideal. For example, the collection installs as separate apps (one per game) rather than a unified menu, which reviewers saw as “absurd” and clunky.
• The physical cartridge version is misleading for some Switch buyers: only some games are on the cart, with others requiring digital download. This has frustrated players who expected everything on the card.
• Some of the legacy game designs/controls feel dated—while that’s understandable given the age of the titles, new players may find aspects of gameplay (e.g., aiming, movement) awkward.

Metal Gear, Now Portable

Metal Gear Solid is my all-time favorite series, and now having it portable on the Switch is a dream come true. Whether it’s reliving iconic moments from Shadow Moses or sneaking through the jungles of South America, the collection brings the classics to life wherever I go. The controls feel smooth, the nostalgia hits hard, and the storytelling is just as legendary as I remember. What’s not to love?

I recently played the Metal Gear Solid Collection and thoroughly enjoyed it. The compilation does a fantastic job of bringing together the iconic stealth-action series in one package. The gameplay feels as engaging as ever, and the remastered visuals make the experience even more immersive. Revisiting these classic missions reminded me why the series is so beloved—tight mechanics, intriguing storylines, and a memorable cast of characters. For fans of the franchise or newcomers curious about its legacy, this collection is a must-play.

I was aware of this, but the biggest flaw of this collection is how little data is on the catridge for a physical release. Not including the novels, MGS 1, 2 and 3 add up to about 30 gbs of download data. Other than that, the presentation and content are very nice, especially if you're new to Metal Gear.
Hopefully we get MGR Reveangance in Volume 2
