Trivia / Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops

• Cut Song: When allegations of plagiarism for the "Metal Gear Solid Main Theme" began to surface during the game's production, the game's theme song, "Show Time," which originally included the "Metal Gear Solid Main Theme", was re-edited so that it didn't. Sadly, this was not a temporary change, and the song has never surfaced again, even in the 20th anniversary soundtrack collection. This is also the only game with Metal Gear Solid in the title that doesn't have Metal Gear Solid's game over music at all, including Ghost Babel, but this is generally viewed as less significant by fans.
• Dummied Out: The Japanese version has eight special camo soldiers based on various retailers that promoted Portable Ops during launch. These retailer soldiers are normally inaccessible in the North American version, but can still be used with a cheat device, along with the shirtless version of Snake from the tutorial and Roy Campbell, the latter being completely mute in action.
• No Port For You: Unlike Peace Walker, which is available on multiple consoles, the digital version of Portable Ops was only re-released on the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation TV.
• The Other Darrin: The CIA Director was "voiced" by Paul Collins in Metal Gear Solid 3 and voiced by Jesse Corti here. This is somewhat justified, though, as while Collins might have voiced the CIA Director, he didn't actually have any lines, as he only had a minor grunt of disgust when Naked Snake refused to shake his hand.
• Recycled Script: Grab Metal Gear Solid. Replace Solid Snake with Naked Snake, Liquid Snake with Gene, FOXHOUND with FOX, Deepthroat with Ghost, and some other changes and you'll get the script of Portable Ops.
