>We got ports for that
Lots of cool shit from Konami that never even got ported to their half-assed compilation discs, like the Nemesis 3 (completely different from arcade Gradius 3) and King's Valley 2. Even without Metal Gear, I'm sure they'd would be able to compile a fairly solid collection of MSX titles for a mini console, combining their complete non-licensed catalog no King Kong or Phoenix, unfortunately with that of Hudson Soft and then licensing a few more titles from Compile and the like for pennies.

The real barrier I think is how the MSX brand is managed by Kazuhiko Nishi in Japan, who is reportedly a pain to deal with and keeps trying to milk fans through repeated kickstarter scams and flooding the market with half-assed replicas. I doubt he'd bother trying to spend any time or money trying to court Konami, even after they've demonstrated their MSX catalog is pretty cheap to license by putting it up on Project EGG.
