Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced METAL GEAR SOLID SNAKE EATER 3D for the portable Nintendo 3DS system is now available. METAL GEAR SOLID fans can now explore the immersive jungle setting as it comes to life using the Nintendo 3DS glasses-free 3D imaging system.

Set during the Cold War of the 60s METAL GEAR SOLID SNAKE EATER 3D sees series hero Snake infiltrating the Soviet jungle to bring back a scientist being held against his will. Beginning 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 technology and graphics used in METAL GEAR SOLID SNAKE EATER 3D for Nintendo 3DS are what make this release most exciting," said Tomoyuki Tsuboi, President of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "Fans of the original title will enjoy the new 3D and camouflage elements but will appreciate that the themes and concept of the original title are still present."
