Twin Snakes was not deleoped by Konami and adulterated the original in some silly ways. Don't bother with it. The original is still perfectly playable and great fun, apart from two sequences that are a bit awkward control wise. You'll be fine.

Hideo Kojima was supervising the development of Twin Snakes though...

'Supervising'. Lol. 

And Konami themselves don't care for it:

That was a remake made by Silicon Knights. We supervised it but we didn’t create it directly and we wanted to make sure that everything in the HD Collection was canon. Everything that goes into there is something created directly by Kojima Productions and Kojima himself. So that is the reason why Twin Snakes was not included in HD Collection.
