When it comes to popular Nintendo games, especially if you’re talking about the multiplayer variety, Super Smash Bros. has been in a league of its own ever since Nintendo introduced the fighter back in 1999. Through multiple iterations on every generation of Nintendo console since the N64, it has brought in scores of characters. While the roster is mostly filled with Nintendo-owned staples, other iconic characters like Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid have joined the fight.
With all the recent talk of a Super Smash Bros. film ahead of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’s premiere on the 2026 movie schedule, I’ve been thinking about Solid Snake and how a big-screen Smash could give us a path to a Metal Gear Solid movie. It’s a long shot, I know, especially after Shigeru Miyamoto’s comments on the matter, but can a fanboy geek out about seeing Snake in a movie?
