Konami have let the cat out of the bag regarding the much anticipated Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater remake in 3D for the Nintendo 3DS. They announced the date, March 8th, but gave no indication as to which regions this date is for, so we can only assume it will be a simultaneous worldwide release.
Snake Eater 3D is not only a remake of the original game, it also includes brand new features such as a camouflage photogoraphy system, new camera angles, gyroscope controls and the option to crouch. The game will also support the 3DS Circle Pad Pro, which is due for release late this month.

YAY
Any news on the bundle?

[DarkCoffe64]

OMG now you can crouch??!!!111!!! This is AMAZING!!!!!!
Jokes apart, maybe I'll buy it, if I can find it for a good price.

8th march huh, there needs to be really strong game to come out for the 3ds to challenge mgs on a nintendo handheld... "Years after the GBC release comes...."

Uh, I'll be getting this if only for the fact that it's a portable version of MGS3. I'm going to play the MGS series in order (starting from MGS1/2 on the PC).

I'm a sensible person and got MGS HD already so I'd never waste cash on this load of crap.

Seriously, MGS3 is not a portable game, especially with dem cutscenes.

...Why not just wait for MGS HD Vita then? I know this has a few "bonus" features but the Vita version also has MGS2 and transfarring.

[Paarish]

No thanks... I'll stick to the HD collection.

[0nyx]

This will really not sell well, with the HD collection already out on PS3 / X360.
Plus, we already have many good games coming out on the 3DS soon (Tales of the abyss, Re Revelations, Kid Icarus Uprising) in february/march, so people will probably buy something else for their handheld

[Rock Raiyu]

I'll probably wait for a price drop on this one. From impressions I've read, it has a few frame rate problems and graphically speaking it looks horrible. Not to mention, it's probably going to be $40 and for that price I might as well get the collection which has two more games.

Awesome.. this is going to sell like butter! I'm getting it!2

Snake Eater is most definitely not portable friendly (unlike MGS and perhaps SoL...the latter is a bit touch and go). I suppose it's nice for people who don't own a PS3 or PS2 but i get the impression it's going to be a test of persistence to play on the 3DS.

I also wonder if The End will be harder or easier on the 3DS.

Vita is a portable handheld.

I do agree with those who're preferring to buy the HD collection.

I know, I was saying if you were still really hellbent on portable MGS3 then why not get the Vita version instead of what has proven to be a rather bad looking remake.
