Trusted industry insider Nate the Hate reports that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater may launch on the Nintendo Switch 2. Following Hideo Kojima's departure from Konami, fans have cautiously anticipated Delta: Snake Eater. Despite initial concerns, the game's revealed details are impressive, and a Switch 2 port could significantly expand its audience with the added portability.
The gaming community eagerly awaits Nintendo Switch 2 news, particularly given Nintendo's recent silence regarding major franchises. While new 3D Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Pokémon titles are expected, the Switch 2's power remains uncertain. Ambitious third-party titles like Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater were previously considered too demanding for the system.
Among other potential Switch 2 ports discussed on his podcast, Nate the Hate mentioned rumors of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. He suggests a simultaneous release and that many third-party developers are planning, or at least considering, similar ports. Besides broader platform availability, these ports could highlight the Switch 2's DLSS capabilities.
The potential release of Metal Gear Solid Delta on the Nintendo Switch 2 could significantly impact the system's initial reception. Metal Gear Solid Delta, a current-gen title with no announced PS4 or Xbox One versions, is expected to rival recent blockbusters like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. If the Switch 2 can offer this and other popular third-party releases, it could surpass expectations as a competitor to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, challenging Nintendo's reputation for lagging a generation behind in hardware.
A Switch 2 release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater could echo the "miracle ports" that defined its predecessor. Titles like Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and Nier: Automata garnered significant attention, considered among the best Switch ports. These rumors suggest the Switch 2 has many surprises planned for a compelling launch.
