Yeah, already knew that, but it's nice to be reminded. Never played the NES version, only the MSX game, but if there really is an annoying base infiltration in the NES game then I have no interest in playing it.
Hideo Kojima Hates Metal Gear On The NES

This is news? Seriously guys, we already knew that. It didn't even include the damn Metal Gear. It was nothing like the original Metal Gear on the MSX2. Of course he hates it. Last I checked he had nothing to do with it, and yet it included the name of his signature franchise. I'd be pissed too.
I say Mr Kojima hates it because it has too much gameplay and not enough half-hour-verbal-diarrhea cutscenes!
That makes two of us. That game was utter shite and I can't believe I finished the damn thing. I want my time back.....
Y'know I'd read this article, but I feel asleep.
OT: Yeah, a port like that is kinda hard to be proud of.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who despised and quit the game over that terrible section alone.Dr. wonderful said:
There's no way the original Metal Gear doesn't get remade on a next-gen console.
Right?
OP: No offense, but this isn't news. This isn't even interesting or relevant. Kojima has been saying for decades that the NES port of Metal Gear was buggy, too hard and the plot makes no sense and anyone who has played will say the same. The end boss was changed, the world layout altered (nonsensically) and dialog was messed up all over the place. We know this already and have for a LONG time. Tell me something new.
Next-gen? No. But the original MSX version was released with MG3 Subsistence for the PS2 (it also came with MG2, Kojima's previously unreleased (in North America) sequel).Thunderhorse31 said:
Yeah, the NES port was really crappy: it was sometimes very frustrating (leaving some places would get you immediately get spotted because of enemy placement) and sometimes too easy (leaving the screen would always cancel the alert, rendering playing stealthily completely useless) and much from the original was scrapped.
Still, I don't like the MSX original that much either: the translation sucked and many codec conversations were removed (although this was not the case with the version included with MSG3: Subsistance for the PS2), also I kept being killed by those bloody dogs and due to some glitch a boss (and therefore also the game) became unbeatable. Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake was a huge improvement in every way.

God I wish he'd make a re-make of original Metal Gear. Just imagine first Metal Gear ever done with today's technology.
eh, i liked it. i still like it. its not my favorite but i'll still pick it up and play it every now and then.
