Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Coming to Vita, but with No Co-op!

June will see MGS HD coming to Vita, but Peacewalker is absent

I do like a good collection of games; more pleasure for the same price.  Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is a prime example of this, not only did you get updated versions of some of the earlier single player outings of the franchise, but also a brand spanking new update of the 4 player co-op Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD.  The collection has just been announced for Vita, surely the PSP native Peace Walker would fit seamlessly onto Sony's new handheld?  Apparently not, as a certain game is missing...

Currently pencilled in for a late June release, MGS HD Collection Vita will contain; Metal Gear 1 and Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.  The collection will also debut Sony's new transferring system that will allow data to be shared between your PS3 and Vita.

Nice to have something new, but why is co-op missing?  There is no word from Konami on the matter, just a complete absence of Peace Walker on Vita.  This is a real shame as Co-Optimus rated Peace Walker very highly, giving it a barn storming 4.5.

Isn't this the first time Metal Gear Solid (1) will be presented in HD? Weren't people upset that the console version of this collection didn't include that one? So this will be interesting, to see how such an old title makes the transition, and to what extent. I guess Konami figured why make a Vita version of Peace Walker when you can play the PSP version (already or presumable soon).

Peace Walker is already available on the Vita as a PSP download. It's just not "HD", but in reality the Vita is not an HD platform (qHD).

Just realized it's "Metal Gear 1", not "Metal Gear Solid 1" that's included (along with Metal Gear 2). Are the 8-bit era side scrollers?
