The remake of the first MGS for the GameCube, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes , has an additional Kojima cameo during the Psycho Mantis fight. A portrait of Kojima is hanging on a wall in the room where the boss fight occurs, along with two other portraits of developers who worked on the game - Ryuhei Kitamura and Denis Dyack, according to VGFac
