''Metal Gear'' became a critical and financial success. While Kojima only planned for that one game, an NES port and sequel to that port were made without his involvement. He notoriously criticized those games and returned with a canonical sequel to right the series back on track. ''Metal Gear'' eventually became a long-running franchise and Kojima's main claim to fame. Other projects he was involved in include the film-noir inspired graphic adventure game ''{{s|wikipedia|Snatcher}}'' and the science fiction graphic adventure game ''{{s|wikipedia|Policenauts}}'', as well as producing the ''{{s|wikipedia|Zone of the Enders}}'' and ''{{s|wikipedia|Boktai}}'' series, and ''{{s|wikipedia|Castlevania: Lords of Shadow}}''. Kojima would also found a subsidiary within Konami called {{h2|List of companies with minor representation|Kojima Productions}}, which existed to develop the ''Metal Gear'' franchise and other miscellaneous projects; notably ''{{iw|wikipedia|P.T.|video game}}'', directed with {{s|wikipedia|Guillermo del Toro}}. The latter would be cancelled after Kojima left Konami in 2015. Kojima and his company would continue to work on new games after the departure. One such was ''{{s|wikipedia|Death Stranding}}'', released in 2019 and its ''Director's Cut'' later in 2021, and with the help of {{s|wikipedia|Sony Interactive Entertainment}}. | ''Metal Gear'' became a critical and financial success.

During gamescom 2022 on August 22, 2022, Kojima announced he would launch a Spotify podcast channel named ''Brain Structure'' on September 8, 2022; it is about him talking about his experiences about creative process.

According to Masahiro Sakurai, Kojima "practically begged" him to include Snake in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', but at that point the game was too far in development to allow adding any additional characters. | According to Masahiro Sakurai, Kojima "practically begged" him to include Snake in ''[[Super Smash Bros.
