Probably disappointed by the lackluster sales of MGS3, Konami is releasing
"MGS3: Subsistence" (note, not Substance) for the PS2. It's MGS3 with some extra features, of course.
Most notably, it comes with English-translated ports of the MSX versions of
Metal Gear and
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. So much for Kojima and Konami's very-public refusal to ever revisit the past. Personally, I was always hoping this would happen on a Nintendo console (the DS would be perfect for them), but, as we all know, Konami is Sony's b!tch.
Also, Konami is working on
"Metal Gear Ac!d 2" for the PSP. Despite the fact that MGA wasn't exactly the bestselling title on the PSP that Konami was hoping for. But MGA2 is a
cel-shaded card-based stealth game now, which should fix everything...
And of course, Kojima's retirement has been revoked for the tenth time in a row, as he's now making
Metal Gear Solid 4 for the PS3.
