"A hind D? Private Party?"

Sony's feature-length State of Play presentation today featured Konami splashing out on Nintendo systems in a major way.

A 2nd Metal Gear Solid Master Collection will be available on both Switch 2 and Switch on August 27, with physical releases for both (Switch 2 as a Game Key Card). The collection will include the 2000 Game Boy Color Metal Gear Solid game (aka Metal Gear: Ghost Babel), as well as the first Nintendo releases for Metal Gear Solid 4 (2008, PS3) and Peace Walker (2009, PSP), plus soundtracks and "screenplay novels". A "final" update for the prior collection should now be available, offering hgiher resolution for Metal Gear Solids 1 and 3 among other updates.

As well, a new side-scrolling Castlevania title called Castlevania: Belmont's Curse will be available in 2026 for Switch. Set 23 years after the release of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (NES), the game is developed by Evil Empire with "advisory studio" Motion Twin (Dead Cells - which had a Castlevania DLC) also assisting.

Belmont's Curse was IMO one of the few games at that State of Play that looked worth a damn. I'm still hoping to get collections of the Lord of Shadows & N64/PS2 games, but I'll take a new game.

My brother is a big Metroidvania buff.  For reference he suffered through Bloodstained's lousy Switch port.  When I told him there was a new Castlevania at a Sony presentation he was ready to buy a PS5... until I told him it's coming to the Switch as well.

I would recommend that he play the Dead Cells Castlevania DLC. The developers of this new game made it, and it's pretty good...albeit stupidly hard.

Nice to see MGS4 appearing on a Nintendo system.

Whats the story on the two Master Collections? 1-3 on the first and the latter stuff on the second?
