Since its release in 2004, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes has remained exclusive to the Nintendo GameCube. However, with GameCube titles being added to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, fans are hopeful that this unique remake might eventually make its way to modern consoles. This enhanced version of the original Metal Gear Solid not only upgraded the graphics but also incorporated gameplay mechanics from Metal Gear Solid 2, delivering a fresh yet familiar experience.

While The Twin Snakes received generally favorable reviews upon launch, it wasn't without controversy. Some fans criticized the altered soundtrack and the exaggerated cutscenes, while others felt that adopting MGS2's mechanics made the game too easy. Despite these debates, the game's unavailability on modern platforms has left many longing for a re-release.

Developed by Silicon Knights in collaboration with Konami, The Twin Snakes faces legal complexities similar to GoldenEye 007. Yet, the recent inclusion of GoldenEye on Switch Online suggests that licensing hurdles aren't insurmountable. While it's unlikely to appear in the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection, its potential arrival via Switch Online + Expansion Pack remains a tantalizing possibility.

The Twin Snakes isn't the only Metal Gear title stuck on outdated hardware. Portable Ops remains PSP-exclusive, and Metal Gear Solid 4 is still confined to the PS3. With Master Collection Vol. 2 rumored to include Peace Walker, MGS4, and The Phantom Pain, fans are left wondering if Konami will prioritize these legacy titles for modern audiences.
