A demo version of Metal Gear Solid 3D: Snake Eater will slither its way onto the 3DS eShop this Thursday. The trial will give gamers a forked tongue-taste of the stealth shooter classic. It has been completely revamped for the 3DS with sparkly new graphics and touch screen controls. And if you have a new-fangled Circle Control Pad Pro, it will work with that too.

been waiting for this, so after this we get Kid Icarus demo right?

[Electivirus]

Oh shit, son. I'm getting the game regardless, but it'll be nice to try out the demo, anyway. Nice to hear that the CCP works with it, too.

[weird]

"...sparkly new graphics..."

kekekehehehehe!

my CPP can't wait! I fear for my eyes though.

[Aostia]

I've already tried this demo in a post E3 event but I'll try it again, also to test the Cppro

[Sadist]

Sweet, can't wait to try it out.

[Pikma]

Kid Icarus demo? What? Where? D:

[randomwab]

US or Euro? Or both?

[radioheadrule83]

US or Euro? Or both?

The two links I've seen confirming this are specifically mentioning Europe... it'll probably hit NA too, but its worth being cautious before getting excited.

[Desiato]

The Japanese demo was shit (framerate problems, 3D effect disappearing completely at the bridge, textures, ...), so if it's the same one, don't get your hopes up. I really hope they'll fix these problems by the time of release.

[WonkersTHEWatilla]

How old is this demo build that we're getting?

[vall03]

Kid Icarus demo? What? Where? D:

sorry, I wasn't really following much, but wasn't there a list of games Nintendo planned to have a demo on the eShop? so Kid Icarus was not included there?

[Colonel Mustard]

How old is this demo build that we're getting?

It's essentially the e3 demo I believe.

[Kokonoe]

Awesome.

[fabricated backlash]

It's essentially the e3 demo I believe.

There was no option for the CCP in that demo though. But it's the same area at least.

[Nibel]

Nice - I need to see the game on my 3DS to judge it. I just hope they fixed those horrible framerate issues. Wondering how it controls..

[Frost_Ace]

After the good vote of Edge I'm really curious to try it.

[IrishNinja]

After the good vote of Edge I'm really curious to try it.

^same. idve prolly tried it either way, but yeah, itll be faster now.

[Lemonte]

I'm just worried about fps. I might just buy this even tho I just bought MGS hd collection.

[Übermatik]

I like this I like this a lot. keep it up Nintendo. Though word of advice - make the option to download a demo a bit more obvious.

[dc89]

All regions?! I hope so.

[fabricated backlash]

After the good vote of Edge I'm really curious to try it.

As I see it, the game should still be as amazing as it ever has been, but if the framerate is as bad as it was in the e3-GC demo, then it's merely playable at times.
In my time with that demo you could count the frames at times. When you have a framerate around 15 to 5 frames per second...

Maybe they cleaned that up for the final release.

[AgentOtaku]

Woo!

Just in time, my CCPro arrives any day now

[farnham]

cant wait to try this with ccpro

the japanese version,had no ccpro then, played horribly

[jokkir]

Finally. I can't wait to get this game.

Who's making the OT?

[Mzo]

MGS HD announcement for the Vita pretty much killed all my interest in this.

[faridmon]

After the EDGE review, I am actually curious how it is. I don't have a 3DS so this could be the one that could tip me over, as I reckon is MGS3 is one of the finest games ever made.

[Marvie_3]

Can't wait to try it out. :D

[haikira]

Despite being a fan of the series. I really was relying on the demo before i made up my mind. So good news.

I just got the HD collection which takes away the desire a little. I was also doubtful of how it'll run on the 3DS, so it'll be nice to see it hands on. But i will say. Resident Evil Revelations really impressed me when it came to what the handheld can do.

[Criminal Upper]

I like this I like this a lot. keep it up Nintendo. Though word of advice - make the option to download a demo a bit more obvious.

It's literally the first window that opens when I enter the 3DS shop. Hard to miss, really.

[Bullza2o]

NOA needs to release this demo, or any demo, this week.

[Mafro]

Buying this regardless of how poor the framerate is in the demo.

[M3d10n]

If it's the same as the broken Japanese demo, Konami would be better off not releasing it at all.

[@MUWANdo]

Both regions rattled off the names of a few demos they intended to release in the near future, Kid Icarus wasn't on either of 'em. That being said, I'd be very surprised if it didn't happen.

[twisteddeeds]

I have mg2 and 3 in my backlog.. ;__; (along with about 50 other ps2 games)

Though if the demo can sell it to me, I might put off everything else to quickly run through 2 and get this... especially after the RE demo was so good...

[Vyse The Legend]

How old is this demo build that we're getting?

It is the TGS build with CPP support, according to JGAF.

Edit: Maybe not? Sounds like the JP demo didn't have CPP support?

[DarkWish]

been waiting for this, so after this we get Kid Icarus demo right?

The only first party title announced to have a demo so far in the US is nintendogs + cats. I'm sure more will come, but that's the only official announcement so far.

Didn't know about this. When was this announced?

[TheExodu5]

What was wrong with the Japanese demo?

[VanWinkle]

Cool. I recently got a 3DS. What's with the lack of demos? There's only two I think. I was expecting more up there.

[Vyse The Legend]

What was wrong with the Japanese demo?

It was an old build with a poor framerate.

[ChocolatePuddin]

Alright guys, so I am picking up my 3DS tonight, getting it second hand for an absolute steal, guys says its brand new in box.Hopefully Its legit and I don't get stabbed, anyways so I wanna pick up a game to break it in with ,and I'm thinking this should be my first experience ,would I be right?

[The_Darkest_Red]

This is my favorite game of all time but I don't think I'll pick up the 3DS version. I just bought the HD Collection and I might re-buy it on the Vita so I just can't find a single reason to pick up the 3D version. Not to mention the fact that I own the PS2 game twice as it is...

[Conor 419]

If you haven't played it before then yeah, this'd be a nice start.

[felipepl]

They just started uploading them, like, 1 month ago.

It doesn't? I swear I saw a video on YouTube someone playing the Japanese demo and saw some option for the CPP. I cant link right now though because I'm on my phone

[ChocolatePuddin]

If you haven't played it before then yeah, this'd be a nice start.

I played like half of it, I got to the sniper boss guy.Is the 3D in this like, WOW, worthy?

[Noisepurge]

Nintendo is just now waking up and building a proper online store with modern features like demos and trailers etc.

[@MUWANdo]

It's similar to the Revelations demo in that it's an improved version of a tradeshow demo (don't remember which, TGS sounds about right) based on a newer build - the contents the same, but it should ostensibly look/run better than the game people played on the show floor.

[dark10x]

What unfortunate timing. The demo is releasing the day after I pick up a Vita. :\

I've also been playing MGS3 again on PS3 at 60 fps so this is going to be interesting. I'm genuinely curious to see how the port has turned out, however.
