You don't say?

Well now this is a funny situation🥶

You saw that Nintendo Direct haven't you?

Money Ghost Plushies are Gone.

That's ridiculous

I know right even his Metal Gear game they’ve screwed him with the NES ports, and an unrelated sequel he wasn’t aware of. Konami really never respect their own employees.

well for the most part he was able to do what he wanted for alot of the games, the huge falling out was of course around MGS5...I feel bad cause it seems Konami is only using the Metal Gear name to milk something out of it...and as cool as Delta looks, that's part of the problem its a remake not a new idea for Metal Gear...

@@Avalon64 I mean after Survive, I’d assume they wanted to ensure fans that they even knew what Metal Gear WAS anymore

@@MrSkerpentine sadly I have to agree...I dunno how I feel about Delta, especially since Kojima won't be working on it...and there's always that fear they might censor or cut some of the game's original content because people are so triggered these days...sigh

@@Avalon64 I have no faith in Konami, however if Delta ends up living up to what MGS3 was then I am willing to put my faith in the team. My hope is that remaking Metal Gear Solid 3 will allow the new team to learn what the old metal gear team knew and thus if they were to make a new Metal Gear Solid game after that they will have a grasp on the mechanics and story that a Metal Gear game needs to possess. Its the same philosophy I hold for the Silent Hill 2 remake, and the other new silent hill I have faith in because the writer is someone I know who can write the type of horror that silent hill is known for.

Idk why but when it comes to the the summary on the box, i imagine a single person doing it and going, "I didnt have time to play the game and they didnt give me anything to work with except a tight deadline so, screw it! I'll wing it and listen to coworkers explain the plot, fill in the blanks, and see if I can get away with it!"

More like"Even Stupid people have Money!"

​@@GamerDave1974same goes to KONAMI 2020s.

Oof, I hope that employee is safe and happy somewhere.

its funny to think that a bunch of game sequels during this era didnt have the series director working on them... usually because they were working on something else or because they straight up didnt think about that!

I'll be honest... the story sounds fishy. It doesn't seem like a conversation that's likely to have happened and really puts a lot of self importance on Kojima himself. It sounds like what someone would come up with who thinks really highly of themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if what actually happened was that he overheard about Snake's Revenge being made and decided that it was his project, so he should make his own sequel. Seems honestly just as likely, if not more so.

@@Dareon0 i mean you underestimate how friendships could exist back in this era of game making, i mean when you're working on random games like Kojima was you'd be bound to interact with other staff at least once

@@alex_-yz9to The fishiness comes from how he presents it. This is Japanese culture we're talking about, but there's not a hint of humility on Kojima's side. It reads massively narcissistic

Perhaps stating the obvious here, but Ayatollah Khomeini (Higharolla Kockamamie) and Muammar Gaddafi (Vermon(?) CaTaffy) were top of mind back in the 80s, so "funny" versions of their names were often thrown around.

​@stylis666 i think the localization team were just screwing around lol.

Are the acid games also continuation’s of the first game?

Ghost babel is a sequel to the first metal gear, and not the second one?

@@seymorbuns5363 It could be. Acid and Acid 2 are in their own timeline and the Snake from Acid is said to have a millitary background, but there is zero mention of Outer Heaven at all, so we can't confirm if MG1 is canon to it. Tbh, you could even slot in either MG2 or Ghost Babel and they work pretty much fine. There's too much conflicting stuff for any of the Solid games to be canon to it and Acid 2 though.

@@hoad1111 it directly conflicts with the plot of MG2 and MGS1 and the only references made to other games are to MG1 and somehow MGS2 even though it released before MGS2 did. Most people assume Ghost Babel is a made up story in-universe to be the setting for Raiden's VR training.

@@hoad1111 Yeah. It takes place after MG1 and revealed Snake had to retire because the Outer Heaven incident went public, which made him a celebrity, but lousy for stealth missions.

Oh man. He'll get a kick out of this video then. 🤣

I thought that red powered armor thing looked familiar

Wait, so does that mean that MGSV is a remake of Snake's Revenge? XD

@@LittlepipMLP On the subject of game difficulty... For the most part the Japanese versions were *easier* than the North American releases. There's a few exceptions like the original Super Mario Bros 2 that never made it stateside until Allstars on the SNES because it was deemed too hard (and other reasons) by Howard Phillips. The North American releases were actually made harder to combat the rental market. If you are to rent a game and beat it in a night or two you would have no reason to buy the game so they artificially increased the difficulty. The first title that comes to mind is Bayou Billy which was so frustratingly hard but the Japanese release (I think It's called Mad City) you could actually beat and it was definitely nore balanced. There's of course lots of other titles that had their difficulty increased specifically for North America.

I had Metal Gear on NES... Except I was spared from playing it. As soon as you started the game it would freeze up. It would play the title screen and the demo mode just fine though. I don't know if I should be happy or sad about that.

​@@Gatorade69yeah the idea that "old games are hard because arcade" is nonsense. Games were hard because of the rental market. Game designers weren't sitting around going "I can't tell the difference between console and arcade audiences, and how we make money off them so I'll just act like they're the same" until some smart modern person went "what if you make game for console?" and blew everyone's mind. I feel like it's a great example of "were so smart today" thinking. The difficulty of games that weren't ports had nothing to do with the arcades.

@@LittlepipMLP the ironic part is the Japanese versions of games like Battletoads and The Simpsons Arcade Game were considerably easier then the American versions.

Meryl is also a character in Policenauts. Although that's set in 2040 and she looks maybe 10 years older than her MGS1 counterpart. Policenauts Meryl is basically the Power Girl to MGS Meryl's Kara Zor-El.

The funny thing is that the dialogue in MG2:SS is actually not even meant to be lore, it is meant to be a reference to SR:MG2, because it is the earlier game. Just that absolutely nobody got that reference until years later because one game was not localized and the other only had its localized version released to avoid selfcompetition and overlap.

@@lpfan4491 I could be wrong but I always assumed that at the time Kojima would've had little idea about what Konami was doing with Snake's Revenge beyond that it existed, considering he wasn't even aware it was happening until a co-worker told him by happenstance. He also probably couldn't have played it on his own back then, as it never had a Japanese release. It strikes me as more likely it was a wild coincidence, with the unknown scenario writer of SR just happening to be on the same wavelength as Kojima for that one moment.

On the other hand, both names sounds like they belong in some weird Reagan-era movie about an all-American hero trying to overthrow totally-not-Gaddafi and totally-not-the-Ayatollah-Khomeini.

@@IsmailofeRegime The third season of The Transformers cartoon had Abdul Fakkadi, who was the ruler of Carbombya. Casey Kasem quit the show in protest.

​​@@IsmailofeRegimehank you. I knew about Gaddafi, but had no clue who Kockamamie was in reference to.

Because Big Boss’ old name was Naked Snake.

They really did just take a shot in the dark and hit a bullseye

Well, we already had the twist that he was Solid Snake's father (cloning would only come into play in MGS1), and Solid Snake is a codename, so it wasn't the hardest shot to take.

​@@PosthumanHeresyWasn't the whole father thing from MGS1, though? His last words in MG2 didn't have that

​@@IzzuddinRafliNope; his last words about him being Snake's father were in MGS4, weren't they?

@@KasumiRINA Nah, just a John Wick prequel.

When UrinatingTree was still reviewing games, he had a mini series called Half-Assed Theatre; this was one of those games he covered, where he played John as a very gay guy. Looking at this game again after so many years, John seems to be a gay Rambo, which I can appreciate. Yes, that is the first thing I think of when I think 'Snake's Revenge.' A crappy, outdated vid from 2008.

@@QJ89 That's some old school youtube right there

Considering how he turned out to be a double agent, that actually makes more sense. He either knew the guards would do that from his time with the enemy, or he deliberately told them to leave the door open.

I looked up what you were talking about and found out it came from a guy with the stage name Ish Kabbible. He got the name from a faux-Yiddish word.

Right, about those replys… … …

I have a hint for you, it wasn't just Konami or the US making up random stuff for manuals

Localized manuals were really a free for all. Just that it is a major issue for Snake's revenge specifically because only the localized version of the game actually released. For NES Metal Gear, the misconceptions introduced were more easily dispelled because "hey, all this nonsense isn't in the japanese manual".

Ok furry

But it is an official Metal Gear game... just not a canon game.

​@@LUCKO2022Yep. While "Snake's Revenge" isn't a very good or Canon MGS game; its still an MGS game regardless. Just not one that Kojima himself is a huge fan of.

@@shawnfields2369I think Kojima actually likes this one, but in an ironic way.

Which one was that?

​@@FubukiTheIcyKingEither the original Metal Gear Solid(for PS1), or if we're talking about the Metal Gear timeline itself then the next game was Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.

​@@FubukiTheIcyKing Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake

Remember when James Cameron tried that with Terminator? And when Ridley Scott tried it with Alien? Kojima who wishes he was a movie director does their job better some times.

Yeah; that does actually sound like something you'd see in a Metal Gear Solid game. Could be as a reference to a sports team; or as an actual boss or boss codename. I mean; they had something as crazy as Dead Cell in MGS2; with a ballet dancing vampire like man named Vamp; a roller-skating former bomb disposal specialist turned terrorist named Fatman; I think there was one guy with ravens or something? I forget I haven't played MGS2 in a long time... And also; their leader was the former president of the United States; AND the perfect clone of Big Boss; (Solidus Snake) AND also; he also raised Raiden; to be the perfect child solider; as well. So yeah; basically; Metal Gear Solid has a lot of insane stuff; but that's part of why it's a great series overall.

Is "Harry" a typo on your part, or did they really misspell "Larry"?

@@KasumiKenshirou Probably because Harry is easier than Larry for Japanese.

@@KasumiKenshirou i looked back at where i heard it... and yes they did spell it HARRY instead of LARRY

Ha

My God, the revenge was Kojima!

Ah; so John being a traitor does make him surrendering early on less dumb; you're right. And yep, the names are GI Joe level stupidity. But remember, Metal Gear characters just HAVE dumb codenames like that throughout the series; and even though Snake's Revenge is non-canon, it's still got the dumb names. But official characters still have dumb names, like Liquid Snake, or Otacon(which is the shortened versions of both "Otaku" and "Convention", as explained by Otacon himself), or "Quiet"; or Revolver Ocelot; oh wait, that's not really a dumb name; Ocelot does a lot of cool things in the series; and is directly connected to The Boss and Big Boss, but it's never explained how. At least; not to me...

I think the developers were on all the POT’s

@kennymentzer8076 never had the pleasure to play the first game but I am sure I would have loved it then , I was 10 years old at the time and jumping from games like operation wolf and back to the earth to this one was amazing....same story for the snes final fantasy mistiq quest, dumbed down but for a 90s kid like me, it was a good start.

Cool video but I enjoyed this game back in the day

@@EpicLebaneseNerd You should play the original MSX game. It is actually on GOG right now, but skip the NES version, that game was trash. While I did not like Snake's Revenge but it did fix some issues what Metal Gear on NES has, mostly where enemies patrol depending on which side of the screen Snake's enters from so enemies do not instantly find Snake, which was what the original MSX game did as well but the NES game did not. The hit detection was also a bit better in Snake's Revenge. Really, it was just the opening area before John is caught, and the 2D plane sections that crapped up the game otherwise, Snake's Revenge could have been good. You should also play Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake but that one is not so accessible these day.

Well, Kojima didn’t have his name plastered on games until the original “Metal Gear Solid.” So he initially had to keep within Konami’s system during that game’s development. Plus, the people in Konami’s head office probably changed between “Metal Gear 2” and the original “Solid.”

@@redjed100 Mmm. All fair. I forget how few ultra-retro games actually bothered to credit real names in their production; it was very systematic back in the day. And as times evolve the head of companies had to as well.

So, he's the perfect clone of Big Boss then? He's Solidus Snake? The president of the US?

Yes; that's exactly what I was thinking...outside this cardboard box.

61 , and you have nothing better to do ?

@@andrewcruz1931 Yet here you are, critiquing my "having nothing better to do" at 61? Some may ask you the same question :)

Too true.

Makes sense to me, because Snake surviving the Tanker sinking in the first place is crazy. But I can accept him surviving somehow because he's a clone of the world's best solider, and I guess surviving a sinking Tanker wouldn't be impossible for either Big Boss or Solid Snake to survive really. Sure; they're both just human, but they can both survive insanely crazier and crazier things; I mean; the entirety of MGS2 during Raiden's Plant Chapter, he fights a ballet dancing vampire named Vamp; (who's played by Phil Lamarr, the skinny dude from MadTV) a bomb disposal expert named Fatman, a Doctor Octopus clone named Solidus Snake(who is ANOTHER clone of Big Boss, but cloned perfectly; somehow), and Solid Snake tries to blend in with the rest of them; and pretends to be somebody else, by taking his bandana off. But is said to have died during the sinking of the Tanker; which is supposed to be a reference to the movie "Titanic", which Kojima and his wife are a fan of. Which is also why Raiden is named "Jack", and why his wife is named "Rosemary", but it's also a reference to "Jack The Ripper"; because Jack was a child solider. It's insane; but it's a great game; and my first Metal Gear Solid game; and I'm glad it was. Because Snake is my favorite character in Smash Bros as well. He's just my favorite character in general, really. And I also liked Raiden as a character; and don't hate him; even though he was created to be hated. I still like his character. Before Rising came out I mean; because as cool as Raiden is in Rising, I liked his character in MGS2, and 4.
