Konami has officially announced that Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater will be arriving on the 3DS some time next year. It won't be an enhanced version of the game with updated visuals, if Konami is to be believed. Instead, the game is said to be a faithful port of the original PS2 game.
I'm strangely okay with that. Snake Eater is one of the best games of the last generation and my personal favorite MGS. A faithful port onto a handheld system is pretty cool, and I think a mixture of old ports and brand new games is going to really help the 3DS get a great, varied library together.
What do you reckon? Are you okay with this, or do you think ports are weak? In any case, I can't wait for 2011!

3DS on my list confirmed.
Don't get me wrong, I'm one of Nintendo's biggest fans but I think it's a shame we haven't seen anything "new". Maybe it's just me....
MGS 3 is one of those games. That said, it's still cool. Just not my bag.
I was planning on getting a 3DS anyways to replace my old original model that's on its last legs now, so this is just icing on the cake.
Lucky for me there are still plenty of games I want to play on this baby so I am bummed out no longer.
You're right about that. Plenty of time for a new Metal Gear to appear, but now I can't help but wonder why would they bother with this port?
Ah well......Kojima works in mysterious ways.
Kojima works in mysterious ways? You mean they want to make more money without making a new game?
Well there's that, but maybe he's got something else cooking. I hope.
I hope they manage to make a good control scheme.
A concern should be, if it's a faithful port; will they leave it with the top-down view from the original Snake Eater? All the movements and CQC will be there?
Maybe they should do a port of Subsistence, with the 3D camera and online.
That's why the DS didn't get good for a year or two.
Wait! What? How will it not be a enhanced version with updated visuals? I think something must have got lost in translation here. Did we not see this game at E3? It looked absolutely gorgeous and after E3 Kojima himself said in a interview with Famitsu in July, that the character models we're close to what they did in MGS4 on the PS3.
So I'm guess what he means by no enhancements is that there's no extra content like a new level, or stuff like that. But at the same time, he also said that coming off the PSP version, they would add handheld features to the 3DS version that was in MGS:PW. So I don't get it, is he going back on all that now? Seems like a big change in philosophy, in just two months time!
They're talking about the title as in the "name" of the game, not the visuals, or the 3d, or anything like that. So it was basically just a joke about about the name of the game being called Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and not Metal Gear Solid 3D: Snake Eater The Naked Sample.
You are not the only, even that some ports or remakes makes me excited because I haven't played it, it worries that there are few original projects confirmed for 3DS. I want something original.
How can i get money for next year if you are making me waste every penny of my pocket!.
Also Snake Eater for 3DS YAY!!...
Jano.
Oh well, Kojima said he'd do a new MGS for 3DS after this.
