Official specs confirm Metal Gear Solid 2 will run worse on Switch than it did on an actual PS2

Word from early previews of the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection suggested that the Switch version would run at just 30 FPS, a serious downgrade for Metal Gear Solid 2 in particular. Now Konami has confirmed in no uncertain terms that the Master Collection versions of MGS2 and 3 are capped at 30 FPS.

But no, Switch really is running MGS2 at a lower frame rate than the PS2. In fairness, the Switch version is displaying the game at a much higher resolution than was possible on PS2, which eats into the port's performance potential. As a longtime Metal
