Metal Gear Solid 4’s joke about changing discs has been updated in Master Collection Vol. 2 to reference modern systems instead of the original PlayStation 3-era gag, aligning with the multi-platform release.

The updated joke shifts references away from PlayStation 3 to platforms like Nintendo Switch, reflecting the collection’s availability on multiple modern systems.

In the original MGS4, Otacon’s Disc 1 to Disc 2 quip tied to the PS3 era, but the updated version now appears on newer platforms.

Anthony, an Irish entertainment and games journalist, provides the piece, bringing a background in various outlets and a personal interest in action-RPGs and metal.

Konami released Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch with an August 27, 2026, release date.

Voice actor Christopher Randolph returned to re-record updated lines for the release, preserving humor while reflecting age and environment differences.

Konami updated the voice lines for the joke, with Randolph re-recording the revised dialogue for applicable instances.

The update sits within a broader effort to balance nostalgia with modernization for current platforms.

Master Collection Vol. 2 expands beyond MGS4 by including Peace Walker and Ghost Babel (Game Boy Color), broadening the bundle.

The updated joke maintains the original meta-humor while adding a layer that acknowledges current hardware, with reviewers noting the refreshed delivery enhances the humor.

A few spoken lines, including the Shadow Moses Island “change the disc” exchange, were revised to land with contemporary audiences across Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X.

Vol. 2 removes a prior reference to MGS4’s PS3 on Nintendo platforms in certain regions, indicating some region-specific text changes.
