Konami has officially announced that the second volume of the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection is on the way, including the previously PS3-exclusive Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (2008), the HD Collection version of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (with support for online play), and the Game Boy spin-off Metal Gear: Ghost Babel (2000). Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 launches for both Switch and Switch 2 on 27th August 2026. The physical edition will be partially on the game card for Switch, requiring an additional 17.3GB download, while the Switch 2 version will be a Game-Key Card.
Digital contents include:
- METAL GEAR SOLID 4 Database
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Screenplay Book
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Master Book
- Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Screenplay Book
- Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Master Book
- Metal Gear Solid: Digital Soundtrack Vol.2
Oh sucks that the key card is going to be available for the switch two. I’m just happy that I’m able to play middle view solid 4 on the switch 2 and be able to play Ghost Babel which is I think in my opinion one of those underappreciated game boy games of all time
What is going on, I’m glad I’m still awake with these latest posts coming in
There was a Sony State of Play today and a lot of the announcements ended up also being confirmed for Switch after it was over :)
Should’ve thrown in Phantom Pain imo. It’s over a decade old at this point
I hate Key Cards so much, I wish I didn’t buy a Switch 2. I despise Nintendo for making Key Cards.
Sell your Switch 2 then. Can probably get close to what you paid for it. Simple solution
It’s annoying, but every console is pretty much digital only. Most ps5 and xbox discs contain nothing. At least certain games aren’t game key cards.
It’s shocking most people don’t know that discs are almost the same as key card on modern consoles.
I stopped buying Microsoft and Sony Consoles twenty years ago. I always could fount on Nintendo for Physical Games. The Original Switch had a few Downloadable only and internet Required games but most games were still fully physical on the cartridge. I bought the Switch 2 thinking it’d be the same but nope. Physical games on the Switch 2 is like collecting for the virtual Boy. Besides Mario Kart World and Bananza, every other game I’ve nought since the Switch 2 cane out are original Switch games and i already had a Switch and Switch OLED for those. Even games like Sonic snd Pac-Man World 2, I can’t enjoy the Switch 2 versions because I have to be punished for wanting physical. The new Mega Man, I’m grateful they said a physical Switch version will be a thing but that’s still me being punished but having to play the Switch One Version.
Yeah, honestly I hardly ever deal with physical any longer. First game I got digitally was AA DD like 13 or so years ago, and it was a very gradual process on me ditching physical. I didn’t really care for digital when it was more tied to the console, but now that my libraries are carried over when I log into my account on newer hardware I don’t really find it a big deal.
Except they aren’t? Discs still have the game data on them. You can install the game fully offline and still play it. There are some rare exceptions, but again, they’re rare exceptions. Game Key Cards need to download the full game over the internet.
Get over it. Stop whining. They’re selling out everywhere just stop.
Hope Konami does this with the 2003 TMNT games, Botkai, 3D Bomberman, Goemon later games, Bloody Roar, and Far East Of Eden. Then individual releases Nura Rise Of The Yokai Clan, Hard Corp Uprising, and Willy Wombat.
Kojima must be pleased with thise titles coming to Nintendo, lmao.
Absolutely love this. Hope we get more of Konami’s big releases on Switch 2
I’m so glad my favourite MGS game is finally getting a port outside of the PS3 (Which is still my favourite Sony Console), also putting it at 60fps will really help the game
Man, it looks like the partner direct was a huge dud because the state of play had all of the goodies.
It was mid but Dead Or Alive being back is huge!!!! The Konami new IP looks cool too. Rumor is another Nintendo Direct is on the way this month to show first party stuff specifically Mario. Maybe Sonic Heroes remake shows up there? If not there’s Mario
Nice! MGS4 on Switch 1!!!!
MGS 4 IS FREE FROM THE PS3!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
