Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D coming February 21 photo

Oh look! A good game for the 3DS is finally coming out! I'm sorry, did I say good? I meant GREAT! Yes, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D is finally arriving for the 3DS on February 21. It's the same classic game you remember from the PlayStation 2 days, but there are some new additions for Nintendo's little handheld. You know, aside from the glasses-free 3D. 

Namely, there's a new camouflage system where you take photos of real-life items with the 3DS camera and create a camo suit based on what you snapped a picture of. Plus Snake Eater 3D will make use of the Circle Pad Pro attachment, which based on what I played at Tokyo Game Show, is something you'll have to get in order to have a good experience.

Excited? Or did you already get your Snake Eater fulfillment thanks to the HD Collection?

I'm probably gonna get the HD collection so yeah.

Plus that's way to close to the vita launch and I'm gonna be obsessing over that for a while.

Just beat it on the HD collection on 360 I beat it in 04 and 05. I have loved this masterpiece since its inception. I'd gladly play it again.

Dammit, I was hoping for a little more space between this and Resident Evil. I've barely scratched the surface of those GBA games as well. Wish I could go back to an age when I had plenty of free time and could just indulge in all these great games that keep assaulting me. Stupid job and shit :(

"It's the same classic game you remember from the PlayStation 2 days, but there is some new additions for Nintendo's little handheld. You know, aside from the glasses-free 3D."

Eh, not really 100% correct. You failed to mention how the game was completely rebuilt from the ground up for this version. It'll be the same story and events. It'll have the extra things you mentioned. But according to Kojima when he talked about it about -I think- a month ago or so he said it should look great on the 3DS because of the rebuilding they put into it.

Either way, HD collection has another full game in it that makes it worth it. This ones portable. people can justify getting both versions if they try hard enough.

The other reason I bought a 3DS.
Though the HD collection kind of ruined that. Whatever I'm playing it regardless.

That camo feature is neat. I wonder how many people are going to take pictures of their dicks.

This used to be the 3ds game changer in my mind but with the HD collection giving 2 more games for pennies more and vita the the next day this seems to little to late for me

I'll buy it no questions asked, would I play it is a whole different story, from what I've read there is some frame rate drops, and the controls will obviously be inferior to that of the ps2 or HD collection. If the new additions are worthy, I would still play it though.

Bought the PS2 original twice. Bought the HD edition. Will buy this.

Why? Because Metal Gear Solid, that's why. Any questions?

@Adam Duffles Duffield In all fairness, there are two empty months between Mario Kart 7 and Resident Evil: Revelations.

I have the HD collection but since this is one of my most replayed games ever I'll still want it for 3DS.

What's with the snide comment? And here I thought it wasn't cool anymore to needlessly hate on the 3DS. Oh well.

Put me in the boat of already fulfilled. After using a checklist to get all the achievements in one run of MGS3 on the 360, I'm a bit MGS3'd out. Don't even get me started on MGS2... Still have to get all the dog tags on Tanker Extreme and Plant Normal - Extreme. Oh and like 70% of the VR Missions. Damn my achievement whoring ways!

It's probably best to get this one before the 3DS goes down the tubes, but I just got the HD collection. Maybe I'll get it just to (try) save the flailing little handheld. Vita is gonna smoke it lol

Yoshi = $40?
