[21], The sequel Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (initially released only in Japan in 1990[22]) sees Solid Snake called up to infiltrate a heavily fortified enemy base in Zanzibar Land. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.103.61.20 (talk) 01:49, 2 March 2010 (UTC), Snake is not Japanese in the traditional sense, though some of his genes do have some Japanese DNA.

Solid Snake has appeared in a number of other games, including other Konami games, and more unusually, under license in games developed and published by other companies, such as Sony and Nintendo. [75] Snake was one of the characters easiest to draw by Shinkawa as he notes that his appearance is consistent despite suffering minor changes across the games. Harada states this was a prank as many fans believed it was a hint for a possible usage of the character as downloadble content. I'll tell you then. [99][100][101] A comparison between Solid Snake's and Big Boss's characters was made by IGN in article "Stars Thunderdome: Snake vs. Big Boss. Ultimate also marks the second time a Metal Gear character can fight Rathalos from the Monster Hunter series, the first being the extra missions in … And I can only assume that in MGS4m Raiden had only surpassed Snake (mostly cause of age) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.222.253.141 (talk) 09:34, 29 November 2007 (UTC).

As a pacifist message, Snake's stress increases when killing enemies. Snake's voice actor is named David Hayter y'know, and knowing the MGS series' uncanny habit of breaking the fourth wall, I was sure that wasn't canon, but instead Snakes' voice actor talking through him somehow for an endgame joke. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.252.67.72 (talk) 18:30, 21 November 2008 (UTC), We could say that at the end of Guns of The Patriots he quits after at least 19 years of doing it, that would be something. Additionally, there's no source to support the claim that Snake was intended to look more ragged in MGS2; this is easy to infer, but not sourced. The Phantom Pain also shows that his low-polygon model from Metal Gear Solid can be an alternate outfit for Venom Snake after transferring the save data from Ground Zeroes. [62] Kojima later described Snake's role in the original Metal Gear as the "player's presence", contrasting the defined personality acquired in Metal Gear Solid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.4.23.195 (talk) 01:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC), I don't remember any evidence that Big Boss is part Japanese or part Mongolian.

While I'm not suggesting to turn this article into a fictional Solid Snake biography, I think it would interesting to show the reader how the character progressed from a typical silent protagonist with no backstory to a fully realized character in Metal Gear Solid. Any additional extras, and the answer to whether Snake really does get to do a Tony Hawk, remain secret until the final version is complete (if you're really desperate to see Solid Snake on a skateboard you might want to check out his cameo appearance in Evolution Skateboarding in the meantime) but it's impossible to imagine that if you're a Metal Gear fan you won't enjoy this. We already have one image illustrating how Snake is based on 70s/80s action heroes, so the first image isn't needed. Hideo Kojima makes a habit of referencing his previous work. As he was the only one who suffered from a drastic change in appearance, IGN commented that the most famous rumor was the one of his body deteriorating across the game.

But my point is still reasonable Twins snakes shouldn`t be seen as a source of real information, the game is full of exaggerations and discrepancies. This DNA codes for the energy-production "machinery" in a cell, known as mitochondria. [27] Despite both Anderson's and Baker's deaths, Snake infiltrates and learns about Metal Gear REX after meeting up with rookie soldier Meryl Silverburgh and REX's engineer Hal Emmerich, and having confrontations with the Cyborg Ninja. Konami's Evolution Skateboarding features Snake and Raiden as hidden characters, as well as two stages set in the Big Shell (the skateboarding minigame in Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance is a demo of Evolution Skateboarding composed exclusively of these elements). Or the mention of the MSX computer system in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake? He is Caucasian as well. This may explain why they chose to conceal a number of incongruous cameos within its ribcage. [29] In the end, it is revealed that Liquid got Big Boss's superior "soldier genes" while Solid was actually the inferior one. So why are you here then? when Snake interacts with Mei Ling, believing it showed a more fun side of him. --87.115.34.36 (talk) 14:36, 20 March 2010 (UTC), it's best to use the current Snake pic as part of the Metal Gear Solid part of the article and use the Old snake to show how he is today.--Hitamaru 22:48, 12 October 2007 (UTC), I keep changing this, just to have someone change it back. Konami's Evolution Skateboarding features Snake and Raiden as hidden characters, as well as two stages set in the Big Shell (the skateboarding minigame in Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance is a demo of Evolution Skateboarding composed exclusively of these elements). [66] However, comments from Kojima's staff who were disappointed with his death resulted in the character's survival. [117][118] In 2013, Game Informer ranked Hayter's role as Solid Snake as the seventh most memorable character voice in video games for "a portrayal that's considered to be a real classic in the history of video game voice acting". He overcomes both and contacts the real Teliko, then destroys the latest model of Metal Gear, Metal Gear KODOQUE.

Zidane tribal (talk) 01:24, 22 November 2008 (UTC), A while ago, I added something to the section of this article which said what Snake's opinions of some of the characters in Super Smash Bros.

Brawl, a popular fighting game from Nintendo, Solid Snake appeared alongside Nintendo-owned characters such as Mario, Donkey Kong, and Pikachu, and Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog. PS2 | Submitted by GamesRadar. Zidane tribal (talk) 17:50, 13 June 2009 (UTC), I'm not normally big on those things but this article is slightly confusing without a character bio - bits of the article suggests he's a person and other bits suggest he was created? So if you change it it would show even better the resemblance. He was given his own consistent design in Metal Gear Solid. "[95] IGN also remarked their rivalry, saying "Few rivalries in games have spanned as massive and confusing a timeline as Solid Snake and Liquid Snake". [116] Hayter's performance was called one of the best ones in gaming as well as one of the character's most recognizable traits. There was a point where both character's life bars appear at once. Konami's Evolution Skateboarding features Snake and Raiden as hidden characters, as well as two stages set in the Big Shell (the skateboarding minigame in Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance is a demo of Evolution Skateboarding composed exclusively of these elements). Can anyone add this to the article? It's obviously a milspec 1911 (and will be identified as such in the game, I'm willing to bet). The second image isn't even of Snake, and was only included in the article to visually illustrate a supposed (and unsourced!) It was filled with the joy of Considered to be one of the most popular protagonists in the video game industry, Snake has been acclaimed by critics, with his personality and both Ōtsuka's and Hayter's voice acting being noted as primary factors of the character's appeal.
