Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection Is Split On Two Blu-Ray Discs

Konami announced Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection for Japan and showed what’s inside the box. The compilation of Metal Gear to Metal Gear Solid 4 will be on two Blu-rays. The list of games is a little different too. Japan gets Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2 (these are MSX emulated ports inside Metal Gear Solid 3), Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid Integral, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty HD, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater HD, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (with trophy support), Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and the two graphic novels.

What’s Metal Gear Solid Integral? It’s essentially the "international" version of Metal Gear Solid. Konami made tweaks to Metal Gear Solid for the Western release like adding multiple difficult modes, PocketStation mini-games, and first person mode. Metal Gear Solid Integral also has English voice acting with Japanese text. The game also includes 300 VR missions which were released as Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions in North America. Metal Gear Solid Integral isn’t on either disc. Konami included a code in The Legacy Collcetion to download Integral as a Game Archives title from PlayStation Network.

Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection also includes a 100 page Legacy Book. Konami will release this on July 11 for 7,980 yen ($80).
