Metal Gear Solid I - III JPN: JPN Dubs w/ English Subtitles?

Sorry if this has been posted before elsewhere, I are new D:

I recently decided to try out the MGS games in their natural JPN dub, but not knowing Japanese obviously makes english subtitles a must for the experience.

I'm pretty sure that the Japan Versions of the MGS games typically come with english subtitles (w/the exception of the JPN version of MGS2 Substance & MGS Intergal, which have the Eng Dubs, If I recall correctly...), but just wanted to confirm before taking the 20 to 40 bucks per import plunge on ebay.

Also, can anyone confirm whether or not the 20th Anniversary Collection Box Set (of MGS 1 - 3, etc.), that was Japan exclusive, has english subtitles as well?

Thanks :O

:hides in cardboard box: ... ¬_¬

As far as I'm aware (and I own several Japanese MetalGear games), the only Japanese versions with English subtitles are those that have English dubs, too (MGS: Integral and MGS2: Substance).

You mean Intergal & the JPN MGS2: Substance have english subtitles to the Japanese Dubs? Or do you mean they have English Dubs with just japanese subtitles?

Sorry for the redundancy, it's just I couldn't find any straight answers online elsewhere :|

The Japanese versions of Integral and Substance only include the English dubs. They contain both Japanese and English subtitles, too (selectable on the Options menu). If I remember correctly, they are the only Japanese MetalGear games with English subtitles.

Damn, so there are no versions out there that would let me watch the Japanese Dubs while using english subtitles for the Japanese Dub?


Oh well :(
