Kojima was not involved with Snake’s Revenge, either, and instead directed Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, which was only released in Japan, meaning the first two US-released Metal Gear games did not have Kojima's involvement. The sequel title Snake’s Revenge was produced with Western audiences in mind, to capitalize in the success of the original Metal Gear. It featured different level design, and had script changes as well, but it still received positive reviews, and was one of the first successes for the stealth-espionage game genre. The NES version of the game, the one more familiar to US audiences, was created by a different team at Konami, without Kojima’s involvement. The original Metal Gear game was designed by Hideo Kojima, but his version of the game was only released in Japan and Europe for the MSX2 platform.

A look back at the series’ origins, as well as the specific missteps of Metal Gear Survive, show that Metal Gear without Kojima would not be the same, but also that it is still too early to write the series off. The poor reviews and sales of the only Metal Gear game released following Kojima’s departure, Metal Gear Survive, have been cited as support for this bleak outlook on the series’ future without Kojima. With Kojima’s departure from Konami, many fans believe that Metal Gear is done, as games produced without Kojima’s involvement would not provide the same experience. The long-running Metal Gear stealth-action series is among the handful of videogame franchises that are synonymous with their director, but there are examples of Metal Gear games produced without the involvement of Hideo Kojima, which include the first two games released in the US.
