You know what they shouldve done with MGS HD? Its been bugging me since the thing was announced.

Twin Snakes.

There is no reason at all for MGS not being in that collection.

Well it wasn't in the PS3/360 versions, so that's probably why they couldn't be bothered with it. Especially since outside of the 360 version, it had the lowest opening week.

05./00. [PS3] Metal Gear Solid HD Edition # (Konami) {2011.11.23} (¥5.480) - 61.192 / NEW
05./00. [3DS] Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D # (Konami) {2012.03.08} (¥5.980) - 38.374 / NEW
[PSV] MGS HD 20,139

The Vita version had the lowest price as well (4,980 yen Retail, 4,480 yen DL) and the 3DS version only had 1 game.

I picked up the 360 version myself awhile back.

@Zim: Even including Twin Snakes in the package it wouldn't have made it a complete package as the Japan MGS HD Collection don't include Peace Walker. It was released separately on the PS3/360 as its own package. (There is no Vita version.)

So Vita only made it to just over 20k. My "it'll be lucky to hit 25k next week' seems pretty darn right. No way was it ever gonna make 30-40k, or beyond, as some suggested. Still alright, though.

Nice to see a lot of new games. But MGSHD disappoints.


MGS Collections have been released on 3DS/360/PS3...etc. You couldn't have expected it to sell very much on Vita especially with the tiny install base.

If anything MGSHD did extremely well for a franchise being milked to death.

Even worse:

¥5.980 (3DS) vs ¥4.980 (Vita)



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Really? Something for the Vita is cheaper than the 3DS equivalent? O.o

;)



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Just to confirm, I wasnt saying it shouldve been in Vita, Im saying it shouldve been in all versions.

That proves my theory that MGS2 is so bad it actually costs negative money!

Ok ok and here I am not being busy. >_<

Why? The numbers are not different and the Media Create is going to be the same thing. That is like posting two of the same threads. You can do it, and because it says media create it will probably do better, but there is not point though. Just my thoughts on it, I am sure you have your reasons.


Uhh. What are you talking about?

Why is the White Vita week?
Why not the Culdcept week?
Or the MGSHD bomba week?

It's not really equivalent as the 3DS version only has one game, MGS3. The Vita version has MGS2 and MGS3, costs 1,000 yen less and sold close to 50% less FW.

A high install base will do that......

Actually the 3DS version flopped even harder considering the much higher install base it had on release of the 3DS version.
