The first titles in the Metal Gear Solid series are available to play on Nintendo Switch from today, October 24th!

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 contains Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and much more bonus content.

Early play tests of the game garnered criticism from some publications, but Konami is keen to assure fans that patches are on the way to rectify a number of issues.

Problems that Konami hope to rectify in a future patch include:

- Slowdown in Metal Gear Solid 2 "in certain cutscenes"

- Slowdown in MGS1 & MGS3

- A delay on "a certain visual effect" triggering

- Subtitle typos in the EU game versions

- Mistimed subtitles in the NES games (Metal Gear and Snake's Revenge)

The official trailer, much like the collection, is rated as an 18. So instead of an embed, here’s a link to the YouTube video.

Here’s the full synopsis of the collection from Konami:
