More Info on Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1

For those who don’t want the entire bundle, digital versions of all three Metal Gear Solid games will also be available to purchase individually for $19.99 each.

One thing that’s been bugging PC gamers about this release is that the game won’t support mouse and keyboard controls. Also announced, though without a release date, is that Metal Gear Solid 3 is getting a remake, called Metal Gear Solid Delta.
