The Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection didn’t get off to the best start when it arrived on the Switch last year, but Konami has been slowly improving the overall experience with regular updates.
In a new video update, Konami producer Noriaki Okamura has touched this, admitting the team got “a lot of unhappy feedback” at launch and apologising for the game not being up to the standards players expected:

When the infamous ‘Willy’s Chocolate Experience’ event went viral earlier this year, you would think that organisers would learn from its mistakes and strive to avoid similar mishaps.
Unfortunately, it looks like the video game industry now has its own ‘Willy Wonka’ expo to call its own with the ‘Pokeverse’ fan convention over in Mandaluyong, Manila in the Phillippines.

Quite my Tempopo.
Witch Beam, the Brisbane-based dev team behind BAFTA-winning indie hit Unpacking, has revealed that its next project — a musical puzzler by the name of Tempopo — is coming to Switch sometime in 2024.
