This collection features Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, along with the games that started the series – Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, and the NES versions of Metal Gear and Snake’s Revenge – and plenty of bonus content. Metal Gear Solid Master Collection: Volume 1 launches on Nintendo Switch Oct. 24. Pre-orders begin today in Nintendo eShop and in the My Nintendo Store on Nintendo.com. Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater will also be available for purchase individually in Nintendo eShop.”

Screenplay books, master books (with story and character info), strategy guides for each game (!), and a digital soundtrack are in as extras. It’s out on October 24, 2023, and pre-orders are open today. The first three games will be sold separately (for $19.99) if you don’t want the whole shebang for $59.99!

For me, the Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel is a great addition that I love seeing preserved. I still have it on PSP!
