I liked the 5 minutes of San Andreas on iPhone and I think that after Metal Gear Survive theres nowhere to go but up. I think it could be profitable and that Snake Eater specifically could work great on mobile.

Probably because the controls were janky at best with physical controls, fucks knows how bad it'd be with touch screen controls.

I say that as someone who thinks both games are fantastic.

Its also not really worth the cost to do the work porting it. People's views on value are particularly skewed on Android/IOS. If its not free or next to nothing its too expensive.

THERE'S MGS HD collection for VITA, and MGS3 was ported to 3ds too!

I believe the reason is the input of those games are quite complicate and hard to be fully optimized into a touch screen.

I suppose with the New 2DS/3DS that MGS controls a lot better due to the 2nd thumbstick.

Anyway, PS3 has the best release of all: Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection (it's quite cheap and comes with 10 games).

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
