    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!

    These games are pure nostalgia. I spent countless hours playing these games as a kid. I love how they challenge you, and make you think. Definitely worth the buy.

    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?

    While it is a bummer to have to download certain things (like the comic like movies and language packs to play integral), it is one of if not my favorite game to play on switch. I personally think it runs great you get hours of interesting story and dang good gameplay (in my opinion). If you do not have it for any other platform already and you enjoy games in bed or on the go i highly recommend this for you.

    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

    It's portable Metal Gear Solid, and it's all the games. Make sure you make room for the games and some bonus materials. Wish they would have spent a bit of time cleaning up the ports and making them feel smoother. As it is I'd still recommend picking this up. Just wait till it's on sale.

    One of the best series to ever be created. 3 amazing games for a solid price point. Unfortunately for those physical game card collectors this title disappoints. Similar yo the gane key cards on switch 2; this game requires the cart to be in the switch then you download the games to your storage. This just means the actual games are downloads. Non of the games are on the card itself. Major disappointment since the gane would need to stay downloaded forever on a memory card or an internet connection would be needed to download it.

    The game is good, but so much of it needs to be downloaded. It really defeats the purpose of having a physical version when you have to download +10GB worth of the game.
