The 3DS Enters Stealth Mode
This week is a good one for fans of Hideo Kojima’s critically acclaimed Metal Gear series, as a demo for Metal Gear Solid 3D: Snake Eater will finally be released. The PS2 classic has been ported across into glorious 3D and features the same cinematic beauty that the original did.
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 is also inbound for the 3DS, completing the original Game Boy series and providing gamers with yet another excuse to spend €4/£3.60.
Otherwise, it’s a week of zombies, giant cubes in space and yes, you guessed it, maths…this download list gets weirder and weirder by the week.
As per usual, these downloads won’t be available until Thursday, so you’ll have to go play one of the other Metal Gear games while you wait.
