SYDNEY, 15 February, 2012: Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced a playable demo of its eagerly-awaited METAL GEAR SOLID: SNAKE EATER 3D title will be available via the Nintendo eShop across Europe from February 16th. 

METAL GEAR SOLID: SNAKE EATER 3D will be released for Nintendo 3DS™ on March 8th 2012, and the demo will allow users to experience the immersion of exploring its incredibly detailed jungle setting. The demo showcases the opening segment of the game, with series hero Snake picking a path through the swamps and foliage of a Soviet jungle in search of an imprisoned scientist. 

Players will also be able to experiment with the unique camouflage elements that allow Snake to blend in with his surroundings, and familiarise themselves with the close-quarters combat techniques used to quietly neutralise guards.
