Konami implemented various settings for other platforms including resolution and upscaling. However, these options are not available on Nintendo Switch.

System: Switch
Release date: October 24, 2023
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami
Even though I’m a certified Old-Head that writes about games, it’s difficult for me to properly encapsulate the cultural importance that Metal Gear games once exuded both pre and post release. The hype surrounding anything series creator Hideo Kojima touched was intense and all-consuming. Rest assured that if there was ever a month in which a new Metal Gear game was being released, just about nothing else mattered. The franchise has always been rightly held up as an example of unbridled creativity and auteur sensibility within the games industry – following the release of Metal Gear Solid V in 2015 however, Kojima left Konami under less than ideal circumstances. Rumors swirled regarding creative disputes and budgetary constraints – and following a poorly received Kojima-less spinoff in 2018, Metal Gear was put to bed.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 won’t be perfect when it releases this week on Switch and other platforms, but the good news is that Konami has confirmed plans for post-launch updates. It seems that all of the games will be touched up in one way or another to address issues.
For Metal Gear and Snake’s Revenge on NES, players may find that the timing of some subtitles doesn’t match up with the audio, but a patch will address this. Different visual options will also be added, including a CRT scanline filter, and the ability to change the pixel aspect ratio.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 physical release has huge download on Switch
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 will indeed be receiving a physical release – which isn’t surprising since Konami has pretty much always done that for the series – but collectors won’t be happy to hear that much of it requires a download.
Almost nothing appears to be included on the actual cartridge. It does contain 2.4GB of data, but it sounds like players will essentially need to download most of the actual content. The site mentions 24.1GB that’s needed, and then if you’re interested in the bonus videos, that’s another 30GB.
