Another week is behind us, ladies and gentlemen. And while I could make a Retro Wrap-Up devoted to all things Castlevania in honor of Igarashi’s work on the series and the interesting news recently…I have my heart set on another franchise from Konami. Has everyone who’s interested gotten their hands on the newest Metal Gear Solid game? Let’s take a look back! In the spirit of tactical espionage action, the oprainfall Retro Commercial Research Team—me—brings you Metal Gear Solid’s few-and-far-between TV moments here in the United States.

How do you all like the new way I formatted the Retro Wrap-Up this week? I got feedback asking for bullet-style as opposed to paragraph form like it has been in the past, so I figured I’d give this a try. Want to reach out to me?
