* GenreKiller: The pachinko spinoff, notorious for using a highly-emotional SignatureScene from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'' in its promotional trailer and being in the midst of a series of big-name Konami controversies, is one of two games (alongside the 2016 ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' pachinko spinoff that's notorious for its {{Fanservice}}) to effectively destroy any good reputation the pachinko industry had, especially pachinko spinoffs of video games.

* HeyItsThatGuy: Creator/DavidHayter, the voice of Solid and Naked Snake, wrote (among other things) the scripts for the first two ''X-Men'' movies and the ''Watchmen'' movie.
** Hey It's That Manga/{{Guyver}}. Hayter is credited as Sean Barker (his character in ''Guyver: Dark Hero'') in the early trial versions of the original ''Metal Gear Solid''. He was actually using that name before Dark Hero, meaning that either it's a huge coincidence, or the character was named after him.
* HeyItsThatVoice: Considering the size of the cast, it's not surprising.
** [[Creator/JenniferHale Naomi Hunter is Emma Emmerich, and both]] are [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic Bastila]], [[Franchise/MassEffect Shepard]], [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Aayla Secura]], [[VideoGame/{{Metroid}} Samus Aran]], and can also be found... well pretty much everywhere.
** [[Creator/CamClarke Liquid Snake was]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Leonardo]]. The turtle, not the painter. He was also [[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia Kratos]] (the angel, not the [[VideoGame/GodOfWar angry, half-naked Greek guy]]).
** [[Creator/PaulEiding Colonel Campbell]] is [[WesternAnimation/{{Ben10}} Grandpa Max]], [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Perceptor]] and [[VideoGame/{{Fallout3}} pretty much every old man in the Capital Wasteland]], not to mention [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Hojo]]. He is also [[VideoGame/{{Starcraft}} Judicator Aldaris]] and he would like to remind you that [[MostAnnoyingSound you must]] {{construct additional pylons}}.
** [[Creator/KimMaiGuest Mei Ling]] is [[VideoGame/SyphonFilter Lian Xing]], [[VideoGame/DeadRising Isabella Keyes]] and [[Franchise/DotHack Subaru]].
** Revolver Ocelot (Patric Zimmerman), I am not kidding here, also was [[WesternAnimation/TheJetsons Elroy Jetson]].
** Solidus Snake (John Cygan) was [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic Canderous]] and [[VideoGame/MarvelUltimateAlliance Iron Man]]
** Sniper Wolf (Tasia Valensia) is [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum Poison Ivy]] and [[VideoGame/MarvelUltimateAlliance Spider-Woman]].
** [[Creator/PhilLaMarr Vamp]] was [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Green Lantern]], [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack Samurai Jack]], and I kid you not: WesternAnimation/StaticShock.
*** He was also [[Film/PulpFiction Marvin.]] Given Kojima's love of and influence from films, [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace it makes you wonder if it's a coincidence how many times he gets shot in the face.]]
** [[Creator/DavidHayter Solid Snake]] was also ComicBook/CaptainAmerica on the 1990s ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries''.

In ''The Twin Snakes'', the Chief retained his voice actor, but Gray Fox was recast. He was then voiced by [[Creator/RobPaulsen the same guy]] who did WesternAnimation/{{Bubsy}} and [[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain Pinky]].
*** Rob Paulsen also voiced [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Raphael]], and Gray Fox is killed by Leonardo. Eerie coincidence!
** ''Peace Walker'' has [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Bubbles]], [[WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether Princess Clara]], [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]], and [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Raven]] voicing Paz. And when turned on [[Creator/NanaMizuki Japanese voice]], she's [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Fate Testarossa]]. Which makes it more [[PlayingAgainstType surprising]] when you realize that [[spoiler:she's the BigBad.]]
** President James Johnson, the Fear and The Fury are [[VideoGame/LegacyOfKain Vorador, Raziel and Moebius]], respectively.
** Let's not forget singing voices, too. The lady who sang "Snake Eater" - and "[[AwardBaitSong I Am the Wind]]" from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight''? Yep, same person - Cynthia Harrell.

In the Japanese version of ''[=MGS2=]'', Olga and Solidus were played by Kyoko Terase (Meryl) and Akio Otsuka (Snake) respectively. In the English version, Olga and Solidus are played by different actors than Meryl and Snake, so the idea that both sound alike is lost. This also happened with the BonusBoss fight against Meryl in the ''Substance'' re-release. Meryl uses the same sound clips as Olga does in her boss fight from the main game, since they shared the same seiyuu, which results in Meryl gaining an inexplicable Russian accent for the fight in the English version.
