As some of the most influential and iconic games of all time, it’s frankly shocking that theMetal Gearserieshas yet to debut on any current-generation console. While quite a few fans have been hoping for remakes of the series' earlier titles, there are just as many who would simply be satisfied with Konami making all of these games playable on one system.
