While all the initial buzz around Nintendo's new "Slide Pad" peripheral was with Capcom, they're not the only third-party publisher with access to it. Seems Konami have at least one in the house as well. More »
The 3DS line-up is kinda slim. The latest casualty? Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D. According to Kotaku Australia, it's been delayed to 2012 from late 2011—no explanation given. Kotaku is following up on the US release. [Kotaku Australia] More »
Rumors are circulating that the 3DS version of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater will be released in 2012. Kotaku Australia reports that Konami confirmed the news directly, though the publisher provided no further information other than a 2012 release date.
When approached for comment, Konami informed Joystiq that no North American launch date has been announced. At the Tokyo Game Show last year, Hideo Kojima announced a 2011 release for the game. If this latest news is true, it would seem the date applied only to Japan.
Fans of stealth gameplay often herald the Metal Gear series as the cream of the crop, and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is among the best the franchise has to offer. The title originally came out for the PlayStation 2, but later this year it will be given second life on Nintendo's 3DS...

We only played a tiny bit of the Nintendo 3DS remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, but what we did told us one thing. This is definitely a Metal Gear Solid game. More »
There really isn't a lot to say about Metal Gear Solid 3D: Snake Eater. It's the same game that debuted on the PlayStation 2 over six years ago. Well, that's true for the most part. There are a few 3DS additions -- and some necessary control changes, but for the most part it's an enhanced port without too many surprises.
Konami revealed at its E3 press conference that Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D will require a game card double the size of a standard 3DS game card. Hideo Kojima's 3D creation will ship on a 4GB card, when most 3DS cards are 2GB. Whether that means the game will be twice as good as anything else on the platform remains to be seen...

It's been a year since we got to watch the Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D demo at E3 2010, and it's been all quiet from there. Today, news finally broke at Konami's pre-E3 press conference. While the full Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater game is included and still putting you in the boots of Naked Snake, the 2011 version is making use of its brand new platform's bells and whistles...

Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima is in the process of checking the E3 playable demo of Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, noting that the title will use the gyroscope. [きーやんの気まぐれゲームブログ(･ω･｀)!?] More »
Hideo Kojima gave a glimpse of the playable Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D demo for E3 by way of his Japanese Twitter account today. He noted that he finally crossed a suspension bridge using the "gyro controls." Last year's E3 demo of MGS 3D was little more than an interactive movie.
The image shows off the game's interface on the lower screen, with weapon selection also accessible through the bottom screen.
Kojima, who recently received a promotion in the Konami hierarchy, previously stated that there is something big planned for Metal Gear Solid's 25th anniversary next year, though he's not planning on delivering any announcements at E3 himself.
Throughout May, IGN is taking a look at games set to appear at E3 2011, from June 6-9. We'll let you know what to expect and what we hope to learn about these games at this year's show. Will we see Gears of War 3's single player? Will Sonic Generations be... good? We'll answer as best we can amidst publishers' E3 secret planning...
