Snake Reveals His Kansai Side in Metal Gear Solid V

Breaks into dialect if properly blinged-out
The Metal Gear Solid games are known for their bizarre sense of humor and well-hidden secrets. Konami revealed an interesting one on Twitter on October 9: when Snake is equipped with "four or more" golden things in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain — the video shows a golden truck, golden shield, and golden body plating — he will speak in Kansai dialect. This probably refers to a stereotype of Osakans as being materialistic and gaudy.
The rough translations of Snake's quips are:
- "How's this? Great, right?"
- "I'm really rakin' it in!"
- "I'll do a good job!"
- "Sorry to keep you waiting."
- "All right, let's go on the mission!"
This feature is only available in the Japanese version. Among Metal Gear Solid V's other goofy features is the option of wearing a chicken cap.
