Last week, we had posted about Metal Gear Online as well as the announcement of the Metal Gear 20th Anniversary Collection! It was released in Japan a few days ago, but now there is news on whether or not the Metal Gear 20th Anniversary Collection would come to North America and Europe.
However, at Comic-Con 2007, Kotaku got a chance to speak with Anthony Kraus, who is the marketing vice president at Konami USA. So when they inquired whether American fans too would be getting the Collection pack, the reply was positive. Kraus mentioned that they are considering it with the sales team as well as retailers. He also revealed that the American Metal Gear 20th Anniversary Collection package would not be the same as the Japanese one, but assured it would be similar.
Oh, if you are wondering what’s inside it? Well, the Anniversary Collection contains the original Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops and DVDs Metal Gear Saga and The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2 (whew!). In Japan, it costs 6250 yen (approx. $53).
It remains to be seen if Konami will really come out with the Metal Gear 20th Anniversary Collection in the western countries. If it does, then it’s going to get the blessings of thousands, no MILLIONS of Metal Gear fans from the West, who are waiting to get their hands on that pack.
