Metal Gear Forums - Master Collection Vol.2

Trailer

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 22:38:28 +0200

I posted the Japanese version in the shoutbox but it went haywire. Anyhow, it's looking pretty great. Using Delta to represent Snake Eater feels like a disservice to Volume 1, but I understand that Konami would want to continue promoting their more recent release. Jumping from those graphics to Peace Walker is a bit a mind-screw, though. Anyone notice some Delta footage masquerading among the MGS4 flashbacks? Is that just stylized for the trailer, or are they actually updating the flashbacks to use Delta in place of the original Snake Eater? I feel that would be too much revisionist history for the sake of a remaster/port.

Raiden First Appeared in Ghost Babel...kinda

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 17:10:04 +0200

Never knew this so thought it was somewhat interesting.

The big hubbub of MGS2's release was that Raiden had never even been hinted at in the least and there was no shadow of a doubt that Snake would be the protagonist, but while doing the post-game VR Missions a loose narrative happens where it is revealed that you are technically playing as someone other than Snake who is reliving the events of Ghost Babel as VR Missions in the hopes of attaining Snake's battle prowess. At the end it is revealed that the individual playing the VR Missions is Jack, aka Raiden:

Now obviously this doesn't mean people should have expected to play as someone besides Snake due to a faceless post-game character from a Game Boy Color game whose only actions are playing as Snake himself. But I do wonder how many people at the time of MGS2's release remembered the name from Ghost Babel and put 2 and 2 together? The outspoken loremasters of yesteryear, spreading the gospel that Raiden was revealed in the Game Boy Color game none of their classmates played. Were you that loremaster? Probably not. But did you know about this?

The below video that I watched while procrastinating is what told me about this:

Will Vol.2 be your first time playing Ghost Babel?

Master Collection Vol.2 marks the first time Metal Gear: Ghost Babel for the Game Boy Color has been rereleased. I was wondering how many among our ranks have actually played Ghost Babel and if you have, how did you play it?

I've actually never played it properly personally. I started it on emulation but I'm a big fan of the GBC and thought I'd quite like to play it on the original hardware. Copies of it are always very expensive so it's become a bit of a dream to have a copy and play it on a Game Boy. I check online every now and then.
