Asked why he thought Snake's Revenge, the game made without him, Kojima replied that he thought it was very faithful to the Metal Gear concept and that he enjoyed it.
“GT: Interesting. What did you think of Snake's Revenge?”
“By the way, I'm developing this game called Snake's Revenge, but I know it's not the authentic Snake, so please create a new Snake game of your own.”
“It was my first game that made it to release, so I have a lot of memories. It's my cute boy in that sense.”
“I really don't like saying this, but it really wasn't up to my standards. The care that I put in the original wasn't there.”
“I wondered if this might be the system where I could realize my original, full vision of Metal Gear… and the game that has emerged from that is Metal Gear Solid.”
“Without that encounter I probably wouldn't have pursued a proper sequel, and there might never have been a Metal Gear Solid.”
