Snatcher was once called Junker, Kojima reveals
Trivia Tuesday: Hideo Kojima’s classic cyberpunk adventure Snatcher was originally supposed to be called “Junker”, but had to be changed due to a conflict with an existing mahjong game. Kojima has been in a reflective mood as Metal Gear hits its 25th anniversary, and tweeted quite a few snipperts about both series, as well as Policenauts, as rounded up by Siliconera.

Metal Gear Online shuttering today
Just a reminder that Metal Gear Online, the optional multiplayer component of 2008 release Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, is closing down forever today. The third-person team shooter fills us with fond memories of ridiculously long download times, irritating registration requirements and being shouted at by player character drill sergeants before you were allowed to actually play, and will be sorely missed. Possibly. Visit Konami’s announcement page for more information, and while you’re there, notice the mention of “this iteration of Metal Gear Online”. Hello, imminent Metal Gear Online 2 announce?

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D a true remake
According to Siliconera‘s translation of a Game Watch report, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D is not a port or an HD brush up. Not only has the game been entirely remade, it’s been optimised for the 3DS hardware. Nice. Snake Eater 3D hits Japan on March 8; Western release is not locked down beyond early 2012.
Thanks, D’Toid.
