This week's Nintendo download comes with a mouthful of slinky lizard as the demo for Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D hits the 3DS eShop, all stealthy-like. More »
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., has announced a playable demo version of its eagerly-awaited METAL GEAR SOLID SNAKE EATER 3D for Nintendo 3DS™ will be available as a free download via the Nintendo eShop across North America on February 16th.
With the full version scheduled to be released in North America on February 21st, 2012, the METAL GEAR SOLID SNAKE EATER 3D demo will allow users to experience the immersion of exploring its incredibly detailed jungle setting. The demo showcases the opening segment of the game, with series hero Snake picking a path through the swamps and foliage of a Soviet jungle in search of an imprisoned scientist.
Players will also be able to experiment with the unique camouflage elements that allow Snake to blend in with his surroundings, and familiarize themselves with the close-quarters combat techniques used to quietly neutralize guards.
- Uses a 4GB cartridge
- IGN: graphics “look as good to better than they did on the PlayStation 2″
- Aiming and camera control are handled with the face buttons
- Can adjust sensitivity
- Quicker access to the inventory, weapon selection, menus, via touch screen
- HUD is completely clear now
- Content seems nearly identical to the PlayStation 2 version
Kojima made a point to speak out on the 3DS re-release, as he believes it's even easier to play than the original.
"We are trying to make it as easy to use as possible. We're taking a lot of care in the very small details, like when you lay down, using the screen below to change your weapons."
