It was also included in the HD remastered ports of Metal Gear Solid 3 released for PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and Xbox 360, and was given a stand-alone re-release in Japan as a downloadable game for mobile phones and the Wii Virtual Console. This later led to Solid Snake being re-released alongside the original Metal Gear as additional content in the Subsistence version of Metal Gear Solid 3 for the PlayStation 2 in 2005. The MSX2 version of Solid Snake was only released in Japan, although Kojima would later direct another sequel titled Metal Gear Solid, which was released worldwide for the PlayStation in 1998 to critical acclaim. It serves as a direct sequel to the MSX2 version of the original Metal Gear, written and designed by series's creator Hideo Kojima, who conceived the game in response to Snake's Revenge, a separately-produced sequel that was being developed at the time for the NES specifically for the North American and European markets.

Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake is a 1990 overhead action-adventure stealth video game developed and published by Konami for the MSX2 computer platform.

For the 2001 video game, see Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.
