In ''Ultimate'', the Codec Conversations from ''Brawl'' return alongside {{SSBU|Snake}} and Shadow Moses Island. Unlike Palutena's Guidance, no new Codec Conversations were created for characters not present in ''Brawl'', nor were any existing ones aside from Link's changed or updated. {{s|wikipedia|Takeshi Aono}}, Roy Campbell's Japanese voice actor, passed away in 2012 from a stroke, so, out of respect for Aono, no future ''Metal Gear'' titles feature the character.<ref>http://www.twitlonger.com/show/gu57f6</ref> This is likely why no new Codecs were recorded, instead simply reusing the conversations already present in ''Brawl''; however, no official reason has been provided.

Trying to perform the Smash Taunt in matches where Snake is the only ''Brawl'' contestant present (or Ike is the only other ''Brawl'' contestant present and is in his ''Radiant Dawn'' design) will simply result in Snake perform his regular taunt. It cannot be performed on the [[Ω form]] or the [[Battlefield form]] of Shadow Moses Island, either. If [[Stage Morph]] is on and a codec is activated, the morph will be delayed until the conversation ends.
If Snake tries to perform the Smash Taunt in a match where no other participants were playable in ''Brawl'', he will simply perform his regular taunt. It also cannot be performed on the [[Ω form]] nor [[Battlefield form]] of Shadow Moses Island. If [[Stage Morph]] is on and a codec is activated, the morph will be delayed until the conversation ends.

Note: This is the only codec to feature none of Snake's normal contacts. The number "140.85" (Roy Campbell's codec number) appears in the Codec screen, indicating that Snake intended to call Campbell, but Slippy interrupted the transmission and showed up instead.

*In the E3 2006 trailer, the Colonel and Snake's codec portraits are rendered in 3D similarly seen in ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty''. In the final build of ''Brawl'', Snake and his team use drawn portraits seen in ''Metal Gear Solid'', and its remake, ''The Twin Snakes''.
