So it just dawned on me today that there has been no inkling of the MG/S series coming to Wii in any capacity. We had a remake of the first MGS on GC last-gen (by the way, it's amazing), and we've had Solid Snake himself as a fighter in Brawl...

But where is a new title? Even a MGS2 or 3 Wii-make would be worth the bucks to me! And where is the Metal Gear series on VC?!? Konami needs to step to it.

yeah, this is one of the things I most want to see. Metal Gear 1/2 on VC would be a great way to launch MSX imports in the NAVC. I'd love an MGS trilogy Wiimake for Wii; and that'd be a big help for getting me weened off PS2 too, but I doubt Konami thinks it's worth it. It'd be better for them to port it to PS3, probably.

I loved MGS2 and am starting MGS3...I'd love to see the series on the Wii in any form.

@feba

Why port games to a system that (mostly) already has the capability to play the past titles through back-compat?

If you haven't played it, I suggest trying to find a used copy of Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes for GCN. It's MGS on the MGS2/3 engine! And right now, it's the closest thing you'll get to a MGS Wii game for now.

MGS: Twin Snakes New Play Control

XD

I'm really surprised there hasn't be a release of the originals for MSX (or really anything much at all for MSX -- one game with one listed as "coming soon?" -- what's the point?) and I do recall enjoying the Playstation game with all the emphasis on sneaking about. The challenge mode was excellent, though it could get pretty damn difficult!

Isn't there a teaser site for the developer's next game? I believe there was a "5" silhouetted and a countdown meter, with thunder and lightning. The last Metal Gear was #4, so perhaps a sequel (or prequel) for all consoles is in the works?

It's looks to be a Sony exclusive game. It's likely a prequel or something of that nature, because it involves Big Boss in some way.

@TwilightV

Remember when everyone said Metal Gear Solid was a Sony exclusive last-gen... and then XBox got MGS2: Substance and GCN got MGS:TS. It could happen. Konami is a THIRD party company after all.

I thought the MGS creator said something about making a Wii game too...

@Thread:
1- The PS3 mostly does NOT have backwards compatibility with those games anymore. A port would also allow them to build back in things that were removed from the essential collection, and put everything on a single (blu-ray disk), as well as things like improving load times and graphics etc.
2- I'm %90 certain that Twin Snakes doesn't use the MGS2 engine, and from what I've read MGS2 and 3 do not even share an engine (MGS3's engine was made from the ground up to suit the outdoor environment). In any case, Twin Snakes looks FAR worse than MGS2/3, although it does take some gameplay enhancements from them I honestly think the PSX game looks better.
3- Metal Gear has a long history with Nintendo. Metal Gear was of course ported to the NES (although Kojima hated the result of the port), and non-canonical spinoffs (Snake's Revenge, Ghost Babel, and parts of Twin Snakes) have constantly appeared.
4- Kojima obviously likes Nintendo-- he wanted Snake in Melee, and got him into Brawl. Iirc, Twin Snakes was mostly brought about by a chance discussion with a Nintendo dev.
5- MGS3 and 4 are the only ones that haven't been ported to other platforms. Metal Gear had tons of ports, MG2 was released on PS2 (obviously a little late, but still), MGS got a Windows port, MGS2 got Windows and Xbox ports.
6- Considering the last three, it's not at all a stretch to imagine MGS on a non-Sony platform. Plus Sony seems to have given up on exclusivity with other games (FF13, GTA4), and MGS is smaller than they are (although still huge).

noooooooooo no more wiimakes!! I'd rather see a NEW Metal Gear if anything. Please no more Wiimakes
