Trusted industry insider Nate the Hate says that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater may show up on the Nintendo Switch 2. Fans of the Metal Gear Solid franchise have been cautiously optimistic about Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater following Hideo Kojima's publicized split with Konami. Despite some apprehension, the details about the game that have been released continue to impress, and the ability to play it on the go with the Switch 2 could draw in even more players.
The gaming community is desperate for Nintendo Switch 2 news. Gamers want to see Nintendo's plan for the next few years, considering how quiet the company has been regarding some of its most popular franchises. Many of the expectations for Nintendo's future are safer bets, such as new 3D Mario and The Legend of Zelda titles, along with a Pokemon game. Because people aren't exactly sure of the Switch 2's power, ambitious third-party titles like Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, may have previously been assumed to be too intense for the system.
Konami Reveals Why Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Is Being Remade
Konami reveals what concerns prompted it to greenlit the upcoming remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, which is still without a release date.
Among a list of likely ports for the Nintendo Switch 2 discussed during his podcast, Nate the Hate noted hearing rumors about Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater coming to the platform. He has suggested that there will be a day-and-date release and that a significant portion of third-party developers are similarly planning ports for the system, if not at least considering the option. Nate suggests that, in addition to the benefit of being available on another platform in general, these ports are being regarded as a way to showcase the DLSS capabilities of the Switch 2.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Rumored for Switch 2
Metal Gear Solid Delta is a release many fans are eagerly awaiting, but the possibility of the game releasing on the Nintendo Switch 2 could bolster the impressions of the system right out of the gate. Metal Gear Solid Delta will be a current-gen game, with no stated plans to show up on the PS4 or Xbox One, and the footage shown sets an expectation that the game will be comparable to recent blockbuster titles like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. If the Nintendo Switch 2 can offer this game along with many other popular upcoming third-party releases, it might be considered a stronger competitor to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series systems than originally anticipated, despite Nintendo's reputation for falling behind a generation in terms of hardware.
The presence of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater on the Nintendo Switch 2 could help mirror the "miracle port" legacy associated with many releases on its predecessor. Titles like Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and Nier: Automata coming to the Switch caught the attention of many gamers, being considered some of the best Nintendo Switch ports around by some. Rumors like these give the impression that the Switch 2 has plenty of surprises lined up to ensure an impressive launch.
