Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes has gone from a $20 game six months ago to a $55 game. Prices have increased every month for the last six months and a sealed copy can sell for $125. Why did the price increase so much?
GB: "We analyze Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes and see how it holds up in the current gaming landscape."
I think your enjoyment of Twin Snakes comes down to if you played the PS1 original first or not.
The original soundtrack was missing in Twin Snakes and for me audio is half the experience. Original OST was iconic.
The only things that held this back for me were Naomi's voice acting and the music being changed when you end Sniper Wolf in the cutscene.
Other than that I thought the cutscenes and game were absolutely phenomenal.
A mod by José Mellinas restores the voice acting of the original Metal Gear Solid from 1998 to Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes.
Everyone is talking about Metal Gear Solid remake for PS5 and PC, but where's Twin Snakes, the GameCube remake that improved so much of the original.
Twin snakes is amazing , still play it now and again . I bought a GameCube for 3 games only this , Resi Remake and Eternal Darkness.
Nah, I'd rather have a full blown remake. The GC version is fun, but some aspects broke the game. (First person aiming)
I noticed the price rise too.I have not seen the game in years.My favorite game on the Gamcube
aw sh!t, if i would have known this a while back i would have not settled for a meager price.
I had that game too.
I once owned this for cheap, when I was collecting my gamecube titles that I felt I'd play long into the future.
I ended up trading it back in for a 360 ultimately, but it's still a great gamecube title, even if you have a Wii.
Honestly, there's not much selection for the hardcore gamer on the Wii, so anyone who didn't play the dozen or so really great titles should pick it up. And Eternal Darkness.
Also, the reason it's so rare now is because it did not sell all that well after it's initial release, as we see often times with things that become Collector's Edition titles. It wasn't produced in near the quantity of titles like GTA or something, as the author mentions. This is more like ICO. I once traded in a sealed copy of ICO to Gamestop for 360 credit. I felt like a tool, but was extremely, extremely lazy.
Anyway, there you have it. And the game is pretty much a rental unless you really like MGS.
