Konami has disclosed the technical targets for Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection 2 on Nintendo platforms, confirming resolution and framerate figures for both the current Nintendo Switch and a next-generation Nintendo Switch model listed as "Nintendo Switch 2." The collection is notable for bringing Metal Gear Solid 4 — originally released for PlayStation 3 in 2008 and developed by Hideo Kojima's Kojima Productions while under Konami — to modern platforms alongside Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, which first debuted on PSP in 2010.
In clear terms, Konami announced specific display and performance targets for each game on the collection.
Reported in the company's technical breakdown, the publisher set different resolutions and framerates depending on the Nintendo hardware and mode of play.
Rewritten from Konami's technical summary: the publisher confirmed target resolutions and framerates per title and per hardware mode, distinguishing docked and handheld performance on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
Platform performance breakdown (as provided by Konami):
- Metal Gear Solid 4
- Nintendo Switch: 1080p at 30 fps (Docked Mode); 720p at 30 fps (Handheld Mode).
- Nintendo Switch 2: 4K at 60 fps (Docked Mode); 1080p at 60 fps (Handheld Mode).
Enhanced graphics are only available in Docked Mode on Nintendo Switch 2.
- Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
- Nintendo Switch: 720p at 30 fps in both Docked and Handheld modes.
- Nintendo Switch 2: 1080p at 60 fps in both Docked and Handheld modes.
- Bonus Content
- Nintendo Switch: 720p at 60 fps.
- Nintendo Switch 2: 1080p at 60 fps.
These specifications mark a significant technical upgrade for Metal Gear Solid 4, which has been a PlayStation 3 console exclusive since its 2008 launch; the Master Collection's version will make the title officially playable on contemporary consoles.
Konami's Master Collection initiative follows the company's earlier release of Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1, which compiled classic entries across platforms and digital storefronts, including listings on the Nintendo eShop.
Konami's published figures are focused on target resolutions and framerates and do not detail upscaling methods, post-processing effects, or other visual enhancements beyond the note that enhanced graphics for Metal Gear Solid 4 are limited to Docked Mode on the Nintendo Switch 2 listing.
As with previous Master Collection releases, players can expect the publisher to distribute the collection across multiple platforms; Konami's technical breakdown provides an early look at how the series will scale on Nintendo hardware.
