[edit] DS
The Nintendo DS is a dual-screen handheld game console developed and manufactured by Nintendo. The console features a clamshell design, similar to the Game Boy Advance SP, with two LCD screens inside—with the bottom one being a touchscreen. Also features a built-in microphone and supports Wi-Fi, allowing players to interact with each other within short range. The Nintendo DS bears a striking resemblance to the company's first handheld, the Game & Watch, specifically the multi-screen versions such as Donkey Kong (Note: Solid Snake can fight with/against Mr. Game & Watch in Super Smash Bros. Brawl).
Game
[edit] GameCube
The GameCube is Nintendo's fourth home console, and their first to use optical media (1.5 gigabyte proprietary discs). It sold 21 million units worldwide.
Games
- Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes - A remake of Metal Gear Solid developed by Silicon Knights
- Metal Gear - Included in a special bundle for The Twin Snakes in Japan
- DreamMix TV World Fighters - Intercompany crossover game, featuring Solid Snake as a playable character.
[edit] Wii
The Nintendo Wii is a current generation console created by Nintendo. Notable for using a motion sensing controller and therefore inspiring games wih innovative gameplay. Hideo Kojima has stated that once Guns of the Patriots is complete he would like to create a game for this system.
One game for the Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl features Solid Snake as a playable character.
One of the Wii's "channels" is the Wii Shop Channel, which is used to purchase and download games from Nintendo's vast back catalog of video games, as well as a few of Nintendo's past competitors (along with new games, WiiWare, and more channels). Two consoles which are featured are the NES, the MSX and the Commodore 64. This opens up the possibility that both the Original Metal Gear, and the re-worked version for the NES may pop up on the Virtual Console in the future, though as of mid 2009, nothing is planned. It's also possible that MSX2-games will be available, rising the possibility for Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake as well.
