Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 will be here before you know it, and Konami has now provided extra information about the package, going over frame rate and resolution for all platforms – including Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.
First, for frame rate, you’ll get a maximum of 60 FPS on Nintendo Switch 1. For Switch 1, the action taps out at a maximum of 30 FPS.
Konami has these notices about frame rate:
- Highest possible variable frame rate achievable. Certain factors such as large amounts of effects during gameplay/cutscenes may cause frame rate drops.
- Frame rate may drop during certain video playback scenes.
Looking at max output resolution, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is 1080p in handheld mode and 4K when docked on Nintendo Switch 2 with Switch 1 looking at 720p in handheld mode and 1080p when docked. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker limits the resolution to 1080p on Nintendo Switch 2 and 720p on Switch 1. Finally, the bonus content is 1080p on Nintendo Switch 2 2 and 720p on Switch.
Note that players will be able to choose between “Adjusted” and “Original” image modes on Nintendo Switch 2 in Metal Gear Solid 4 when docked. Handheld mode only has “Original”. Nintendo Switch does not have any of these options.
For Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Nintendo Switch 2 players will have “Original” and “High Resolution” options available. These are not planned for Nintendo Switch.
