Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D Confirmed for the 3DS

Konami today announced that they will be releasing a Metal Gear Solid title on the Nintendo 3DS by the name of Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, which is remastered edition of the best selling PlayStation 2 title and brings the jungle setting to life with the 3DS’ unqique abilities.

Set in the 60s during the Cold War, and sees series hero Snake infiltrating the Russian jungle to bring back a scientist being held captive against his will. Starting on the outskirts of a military base, the player must use Snake’s stealth skills along with the foliage and shade that the jungle offers as cover to infiltrate unseen. As the game progresses, old faces make unwelcome appearances and a series of terrifying boss characters must be defeated before leading up to a dramatic twist that brings Snake face to face with a key figure from his past…

The new game springs to life in stunning 3D, with the jungle genuinely enveloping the player as they work their way through the lush setting. The game also takes full advantage of the split-screen format, enabling easier access to Snake’s inventory, which is now located below the main action. The game also supports gyro synchronization, for special actions that will draw players further into the world of MGS and for which more detail will follow shortly.
