Metal Gear Solid themed 3DS confirmed by Kojima

MCV Staff 3rd January 2012 Retail

A special Metal Gear Solid-themed 3DS console will be released alongside Konami’s Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater next year.

The rumours were confirmed by none other than MGS creator Hideo Kojima himself, who released an image of the device on Twitter.

The unit features an embossed snakeskin cover.

However, it’s not yet known what regions the machine will be released in. Kojima’s tweet suggests Japan is confirmed, but European and American gamers will have to wait a little longer to find out about the machine’s fate overseas.

Further details will apparently be shared on January 20th.

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater is due out for 3DS some time this quarter. The game will be compatible with Nintendo’s 3DS Circle Pad Pro.
