Metal Gear Solid The Legacy Collection Bombs at Japanese Retail

Metal Gear Solid The Legacy Collection had a disappointing debut on the Japanese Media Create charts this week. The collection of legendary Metal Gear titles only managed to move 17,999 units. Western games such as Dead Island Riptide actually sold more than Metal Gear Solid the Legacy Collection in its debut week.

Well they only release the HD collection not to long ago

Not to mention for a Legacy collection they should of included more goodies.

I feel like if MGSV ends up being the last one in the current timeline before Kojima decides to reboot it with a new timeline (hopefully with the same characters, just differnt outcomes) they'll do another one of these collections but with amazing goodies included...like Snakes bandanna, eye patch, a replica ration, a massive art book, the full complete soundtrack etc.

Theyellowflash304083d ago

Too many remakes to the same people purchasing the game, that was the point of this article.

They should have made a Wii U version to give a new fanbase an opportunity to purchase the game.

Buy More Metal Gear Solid The Legacy Collection to secure Metal Gear Solid Remake !

Batzi4083d ago

@YellowFlash

They can't release it on the Wii U or any other console because MGS4 is still a PS3 exclusive.

himdeel4083d ago

I agree the Wii U could've used some MGS and that they keep remaking and breaking these sets of games apart. I bought the HD MGS2 and MSG3 for Vita then they announce this huge bundle. Then I think to myself my did I even bother buying the two I did purchase when I could have waited a bit longer and gotten them all.

Oh well I'm done buying any Metal Gear games made before 4 in any form now.

That's not true, Kojima said the only reason this collection didn't come to the Xbox 360 was because of disk size limitation of the 360.

yeah, i bought the legacy collection the other day because i *thought* that metal gear solid was the HD version with trophy support, but nope... just the PSOne download :(

THamm4083d ago

Why would you think this? Is there an MGS1 hd version with trophies? No

ziggurcat4083d ago (Edited 4083d ago )

didn't the HD collection in japan have MGS1?

TheFirstClassic4083d ago

They got the code for the psone game.

GentlemenRUs4083d ago

*looks at the mgs hd collection box on the shelf*

Yeah... I can definitely see why...

wishingW3L4083d ago

This would have been better on PS4 with 1080p/60fps because this is basically the same thing as the PS3 HD collection anyway.

nevin14083d ago

I guess MGS5 and the Fox Engine is very expensive.

OrangePowerz4083d ago

Every Japanese gamer must have the games in the collection already 2 or 3 times.

The Making Of: Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, Konami's Underrated N64 Classic

"If you were to ask someone to name the best 3D platformers for the Nintendo 64, most people will inevitably default to listing Super Mario 64 or Rare's many collectathons from the era. But there's another classic game that we feel is often overlooked when it comes to the systems' best titles and that we think deserves to be mentioned alongside these other titans of the platforming genre, one that captured our own imagination when we were a kid: Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon." - Jack Yarwood

I liked Mystical Ninja 64, but the real gem for me is Legend of the Mystical Ninja on SNES. It's one of my favorite SNES games, and actually makes my list of overall favorite games of all time. It was one of the first games that I remember that introduced co-op minigames. Seriously, I lost so many days of my life playing air hockey w friends. The co-op adventure was amazing from start to finish. Great pacing, great boss fights. I played through it so many times w different friends.

Either Nintendo needs to release these on Nintendo Switch Online, or Konami needs to put together a Goemon collection soon!

lobyz35d ago

and what ost ! very cool melodies with addition of instrument tracks according to the evolution of the level (maybe one of the first games using that)

BioDead29d ago

This used to be my favourite N64 games as a kid.

For people getting excited that Konami is back and will make more games we want now...the success is atributed to sports games and Yu-Gi-Oh. No mention of the Metal Gear Collection sales.

Abriael50d ago

It's almost like sports games aren't games. 🤔

VersusDMC50d ago

Do we want more sports games or Castlevania?🤔

Abriael50d ago

@VersusDMC Who is "We?"

I don't demand that gaming companies make only the games I want. I don't care for sports games, but it's pretty damn obvious that a LOT of people do.

VersusDMC50d ago

I was just saying that the title might suggest Konami could be back to making games Konami used to be famous for. But it isn't. I didn't demand they make another type of game...i said this isn't a sign they will make another type of game.

Keep enjoying your pachinko, sports and Yu-Gi-Oh games, bro.

Abriael50d ago

You do understand that Konami has always been quite famous for PES and Power Pro Baseball, don't you?

Also, pachinko has never been a big part of Konami's earnings and business. Just because some people meme about it, it doesn't mean it's real.

It sure would be nice to get a collection of the DS Castlevania games. Make it happen Konami. It’s easy money.

jznrpg50d ago

This. I would buy 2 copies one for me and one for my wife. It’s literally the only games she has ever played besides some PSVR2 RE. She has the entire collection but to have it all on a disc would be awesome

SegaSaturn66950d ago

Ok. And suikoden HD remake is nowhere to be found.

ROCKY2849d ago

Silent Hill 2 is going to be so awesome - if you like the original game this is a must buy for any
Physiological horror fan - IMO this crushes Resident Evil Franchise - way to go Konami for this title in the franchise !

RaidenBlack112d ago

Hope SH2 gets more polish before release.

P_Bomb112d ago

I’m not paying $94 CAD for what they’ve shown me. Looks rough as sin.

Fishy Fingers112d ago

Ive seen better lip syncing during a Punch and Judy show

Sonic1881112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

This looks terrible. Capcom should have done the remake 😂 The animations and gameplay looks stiff.

-Foxtrot112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

Okay. I was saying before in another article how SH2 looked better than the last trailer, which is true but damn this looks rough as hell.

I wanted RE4 / Dead Space remake quality

Sonic1881112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

I wouldn't buy it for $70 dollars. Maybe when it's on sale.

-Foxtrot112d ago

Yeah full price, deluxe editions, Konami are f***** tripping here.

CrimsonWing69112d ago

The characters look terrible to me… like it’s distracting.

repsahj112d ago

I will give this game a chance!!! let's go!
