| - The videos for the Secret Theater were originally developed in secret by the production team's Real Time Demo Unit for Metal Gear Solid 3, with the original intention of showing the videos to the production staff as entertainment during the game's completion party. Kojima, however, decided after seeing them to place them on the official website, where it instantly spawned popularity. As a result, new episodes were developed exclusively for the site, where it spawned 3 "series" (International equivalent to the American media's "seasons"), plus a fourth on the way by the time Subsistence was released.

Kojima, however, decided after seeing them to place them on the official website, where it instantly spawned popularity. As a result, new episodes were developed exclusively for the site, where it spawned 3 "series" (International equivalent to the American media's "seasons"), plus a fourth on the way by the time Subsistence was released. Some of the Japanese Secret Theater videos featured new voice work by the original cast (or, where specified at the end of the video, newly dubbed lines not recorded by the original cast). On the website, the videos were shown with the Japanese voices and the dialogue subtitle in English. For the bonus disc of the English version of Subsistence, most of the new dialogue was replaced with either previously recorded lines from the game or nonverbal grunts, so the videos are entirely in English. In addition, some of the Secret Theater videos, when placed onto Subsistence, were also given additional scenes exclusive to Subsistence. Besides the joke videos, the Secret Theater also included the TGS 2005 trailer for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
