I like Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater!
I don't buy into rumors too much but... any hope for Portable Ops to have better controls? Something that takes full advantage of all the buttons and stick the PSP lacked?
What about MGS mobile? That seems to be the only significant "missing piece" inasmuch as it is a 3D title with a (non-canon) story. Well, that and Survive, I guess.
It seems like a very plausible lineup. Twin Snakes would really be feather in the cap of whoever negotiated all the complicated rights issues. I wonder - will Miyamoto's portrait appear on non-Nintendo platforms? I expect Mario, Yoshi, and Otacon's Gamecube to be altered.

It wasn't a special feature they added for Portable Ops especially or anything, the Vita just allowed for right stick and front and rear touchscreens to be mapped to function as several different buttons when playing PSP games. It happened to work especially well for PO given the face buttons being the camera controls.
Did you play PO long after it released? I feel like people who played it at launch managed to make peace with the somewhat jank button combo out of sheer amazement at a "real" MGS experience being on a handheld. Feel like the same thing happened with Metroid Prime: Hunters which was, objectively, quite hard to play as efficiently as the GC titles-but people managed quite spectacularly all the same
