Kojima Planning Something Big for Metal Gear's 25-Year Anniversary

Metal Gear Solid 4

2012 will mark 25 years since the first Metal Gear was released.

Hideo Kojima was recently upset recently over, causing speculation that it had to do with a game cancellation. We still don't know what he was referring to when he said, "What I prepared minutely spending a year became meaningless," but he did clear up some other matters up on a new Kojima Productions podcast (mp3). As translated by Andriasang, Kojima responded yes or no to a number of questions. He said he will not be at Microsoft's E3 press conference, nor will he be announcing Metal Gear Solid 5 or showing a multiplayer mode for Metal Gear Solid: Rising (which will not star Gray Fox or be out on November 1, 2011). Metal Gear Solid 3 for 3DS will be out in Japan by the end of the year.
Next year marks the 25-year anniversary of the original Metal Gear's release on the MSX2 and NES in 1987. Asked if there are plans for something big to celebrate next year, Kojima said yes, but there were no further details provided on what that might entail.
Super Mario Bros. celebrated that same anniversary last year with the release of Super Mario All-Stars on Wii. Nintendo promised something "different" but "just as special" to celebrate Zelda's 25th anniversary, which took place this year.
What would you like to see Kojima and Konami do for Metal Gear's anniversary?
