Snake used to be on Nintendo platforms, so rejoice in playing with a character that actually got localized on the west.

Please, tweet him that.

Unlike the NES ones Mr. Kojima was directly involved in the above gameboy game.  

Mr. Kojima also did admit that even though a terrible port, the NES version  was a

large reason why Metal Gear was first popularized in the West.  The MSX versions

were also released on the Wii virtual console in Japan instead of the NES versions.

Hideo Kojima from the same interview (June 2011 issue of Nintendo Power) said :

“I wasn’t involved with Snake’s Revenge for the NES either. However, this was created by the Kobe development team and wasn’t what I would consider a ‘bad game.’ Actually, one of my juniors was working on the NES Snake’s Revenge and he said to me, ‘We’re making a sequel to Metal Gear, but what I really want is a true sequel made by you, Kojima-san.’ It’s because of that request that I ended up creating Metal Gear 2 on the MSX2. If Snake’s Revenge for the NES had never existed then there would not have been an MG2 and there would never have been an MGS for the PS1.”
