Metal Gear Solid HD Collection shrunk down on Vita this summer
Konami has revealed that the can of Snakes that is the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will finally make its way to the PlayStation Vita this summer. Sadly, it will be one Snake short, as Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is not part of the Vita collection. That leaves only two titles on the tiny Vita card, namely Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
The Vita version comes packing new touch screen controls and the ability to "Transfar" Trophy data between the Vita and PS3 versions of each game. See some fresh screens in the gallery below.
