Metal_Gear_Solid_3_art_by_RPPuzzle

Siliconera is reporting today on a listing made by a Japanese retailer that seems to indicate MGS3: SNake Eater 3D will get a first-person mode as well as an over-the-shoulder camera mode.

The FPS mode has been criticized in past MGS games for making certain sections overly easy. MGS3: Snake Eater 3D is due out in Q1 2012 in North America and March 8 in Japan. The European release date is still TBA.

Cave Story 3D given June release date

CaveStoryQuote

Cave Story’s WiiWare edition may have taken its sweet time on the launch pad, but the little-platformer-that-could’s 3DS conversion seems to be making up for that in a big way. Speaking with Siliconera, NIS America pegged the game with a June 28 release date. Pretty snappy, seeing as Cave Story 3D was only announced a couple months ago.

If the words “Cave Story” and “3D” aren’t enough to coax your wallet out of its dark, lint-ridden lair, then grab a soul and check out this trailer.

3ds

Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D gets Japanese release date, co-op

remercenaries3d

Your shiny new 3DS is nearly on your doorstep, but Face Raiders – while sure to send you down a slippery slope of giggles and tears far more effectively than you’d like to admit – will only last so long. You need something fresh. Something new. Something different.

Zombies really don’t fit that bill. Like, at all. But hey, at least it’s something.
