The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is finally coming to PlayStation Vita this summer, Konami announced earlier this week. However, don’t get your hopes up too much as the Vita collection is a bit slimmer than its PS3 counterpart; as it has been confirmed that Peace Walker will not be part of the bundle.

What the collection does have are two of the best games of the last console generation: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Those familiar with the games will be happy to know that both MGS 2 and MGS 3 will be coming in their Substance/Subsistence forms meaning extra content, extra videos, and the often-requested free-camera mode for Snake Eater.

In addition, the MGS HD Collection will also feature the return of the original MSX versions of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2, Hideo Kojima’s 8-bit stealth classic creations. Finally, Konami also said that the Vita version will feature optimized controls that take advantage of the console’s touchscreen capabilities, as well as the ability to “transfar” save data between the PS3 version and the Vita version.

Those disappointed by Peace Walker’s disappearance from the collection will be happy to know that MGS: Peace Walker (PSP Version) does indeed work with the PlayStation Vita. Though it’s not on the Vita PSN Store, players can purchase it from the PS3 Store and install it into their Vita.
