Hey, quick question: The PSP got certain types of games because of its optical disc based medium. Games could be bigger on the PSP than the DS, right? Well, with the PSV and the 3DS, aren't both consoles pretty much using cartridges? If that the case, wouldn't it be possible for Konami to make MGS HD Collection for the 3DS? What's stopping them?

3DS is using an older technology and cartridges are quite a lot smaller, they max out at 2GB, but apparently, for MGS3D, Konami managed to get a 4GB card working for the 3DS and that is what they are going to use for MGS3D. They would need 3 cartridges for the MGS HD Collection.

One of the games was also a PSP exclusive, I'm not sure either SONY or Konami would want Peace Walker on the 3DS.

Lastly, the Xbox 360, PS3 and PSP are all very similar in terms of graphical power, porting between the 3 systems would be pretty easy. Having to port the MGS3D to a far more limited system like the 3DS would be a nightmare.

I'm not ruling it out but it is highly unlikely and would take a LOT of work.

Peace Walker was a PSP exclusive, but it's being included in the HD Collection, which is going to be on PS3, PSV and 360, so it's not staying on Sony platforms. If they did do a MGS Collection on 3DS, they wouldn't need to put MGS3 in it.
