Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 3D is one of the most anticipated Nintendo 3DS titles set to release next year, so the recent news that the 3D “remake” would be getting a hardware bundle when the game releases in Japan on March 20 wasn’t exactly surprising.
What is surprising is the above image that Hideo Kojima shared with his Twitter followers earlier today. In the tweet, Kojima says a limited edition “snakeskin” Nintendo 3DS is in the works – which, as he pointed out, is a first for consoles and handhelds alike.
Kojima didn’t share any details on where, when or how much, but he did say that we can expect to hear more news on January 20. Additionally, Andriasang reports that Kojima confirmed in a tweet that the Nintendo 3DS included in the MGS3: Snake Eater 3D bundle would have a unique design, and this appears to be it.
We assume this is a Japan-only thing for now, but given the franchise’s popularity overseas it wouldn’t be surprising if the limited edition “snakeskin” 3DS saw a release outside of Japan at some point.
