Yeah I don't think I remember a kiss either, but the love interest was certainly almost shouted during the original as well. I suppose seeing it like that in the original it really didn't seem too different to just bring it right out to the open.
The difference is, in the original, Meryl definitely seemed interested, but Snake's interest was much less apparent. I got the impression that he knew that what he felt for Meryl was as much a result of surviving certain death as any real love or lust. In both games, Snake says "It's time to start living for someone else", but in Twin Snakes, there is some real affection for Meryl in his voice and manner that was totally absent in the same scene from the original.
In any case, it is implied in the second game that things didn't work out for the lovebirds anyway. :D
