Konami re-releases Metal Gear 1?

Source: MSX Resource Center forums

Konami have announced they will release a special premium package of the upcoming Metal Gear Solid game: The Twin Snakes. This premium package will contain, apart from a Nintendo Gamecube and the new Metal Gear game itself, a 44 page booklet with background information on Metal Gear and a disc containing video footage and... the original NES version of Metal Gear. The premium package will only be realeased in Japan, but on lik-sang it's possible to order the game even if you don't live in Japan. The package includes an extra voltage step-down converter for customers in Australia or Europe.

It is a bit strange that Konami now announces the NES version of the Metal Gear game as the original Metal Gear, as they recently stated otherwise themselves, even bringing an MSX to a Nintendo exposition to demonstrate the real first version of Metal Gear to the audience. As Konami stated themselves on this page, Hideo Kojima had nothing to do with the NES version of Metal Gear. However, the premium package is announced on the same Twin Snakes website. It seems that die-hard Metal Gear fans still have to wait for the re-release of the real first two editions of Metal Gear, if Konami ever decides to re-release these games.
