3DS owners will finally be getting their hands on what many consider to be the best Metal Gear game in just over a month from now. Konami today announced Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D is set for release on February 21 in North America.
The first sign of a Snake Eater 3DS port came during E3 2010. Later that year it was confirmed for release in 2011, a release window it did not make even in Japan, where it’s scheduled to be out in March. After it didn’t have the greatest of showings at this past year’s E3, we heard the game had been delayed and would not be out until 2012. Konami claimed it had never officially announced a release date and therefore no delay had taken place.
