You're both right, of course. I imagine Snake will appear on the box somewhere, if not actually within some kind of "Featuring..." emblem. ;D
Still, at least Snake isn't a dull action hero. He's one of the funniest videogame characters there is!
On the subject of the Codex appearing, I'm wondering if that only happens for the character you play as when you get to Snake's stage. Hmm...

What exactly is a Metal Gear anyway? Judging from the screenshots, I'd say they are zords.  And what's the difference between Metal Gear REX and Metal Gear RAY? Do they shoot different kinds of explosives or do something different? |

The Fox easter egg is accomplished by taking Fox or Falco onto Corneria or Venom and tapping left and right on the D-Pad rapidly (alternating between the two: leftrightleftrightleftright etc.). You'll know it works when Fox/Falco crouch down and start shaking; eventually they'll stand back up and the other three members of Star Fox have dialogue. Slippy and Peppy are guaranteed to show up, but Fox will speak if you're Falco and Falco will speak if you're Fox. This works in any mode, and it only works once per character--but you can go into Training Mode or Melee Mode and use any combination of Fox or Falco players to accomplish this. If you get hit while you're in the "crouching down" stage, you won't summon your wingmates and you won't be able to try again. The length of time it takes to tap the D-Pad and how long Fox/Falco stays crouched down varies. PS: The Snake videos are cool. Will elaborate more later, must go back to work. Only once? Won't be able to try again? It sounds like it will happen only once and if you try again another day, it won't happen at all. |

What's there to be sad about? I admit I never played a Metal Gear game in my life.

Metal Gears are...well...metal gears! Robotic suits and machines make up the different varieties of Metal Gears.

Then what're you sitting here for?! Go and buy Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes! Do it now, and fill the void that a lack of Metal Gear games has left in your life!
I don't get paid for this, but I should.

Metal Gear is on the NES and so is Solid Snake: MG2. And a non canon sequel.
We have a Gamecube MGS1 and it takes place on Shadow Moses with Metal Gear REX. Go play.

I've only played Metal Gear Solid 3, so that's what my explanation is based on. Hopefully I wasn't off...

Hey, to my credit, I at least tried MGS: The Twin Snakes. I sucked at it so badly that I mailed the game to a friend of mine online and said he could keep it. I still appreciate Snake for what kind of character he is, but his games just aren't for me. Neither are Fire Emblem games, and I've never played a MOTHER game (I don't count my poor Earthbound emulator run). The Fox easter egg is accomplished by taking Fox or Falco onto Corneria or Venom and tapping left and right on the D-Pad rapidly (alternating between the two: leftrightleftrightleftright etc.). You'll know it works when Fox/Falco crouch down and start shaking; eventually they'll stand back up and the other three members of Star Fox have dialogue.

Metal Gears are super powerful tanks capable of launching nuclear devices.

I'll admit I've never completed a Metal Gear game, but I've given them a damn good go. Yes, they're basically nuke-launching bipedal tanks, which typically turn up stolen by some terrorist group or something. I dunno... the stories get pretty confusing. If you want a good summary of the series storyline without any major spoilers, click here. ;D |

MGS 1 was fine, but it'
s when you get to MGS 2 where everything becomes a blur. To avoid spoilers, I won't say what.
