    Well of course it must have been this thursday, it is the last one before the release of the game.

    1. Aguy

      true, i hope we get the NES game updates :D and other demos like crush 3D

    2. Mondy

      well australia gets their eShop update friday 2 am

  2. Han Solo

    I am surprised.

  3. elbebo25pr

    yey!!!

    I’m still holding out for a Kid Icarus: Uprising demo. I want to get used to the controls before I think about buying…

    1. RIVER

      Eh, just buy metroid prime hunters, the best way to practice playing a game like that, but play it on your 3DS(if you haven’t sold your DS already) because you can play it with the slider pad on the 3DS.

      If you don’t want to buy it, understandable, its only 20$ though, no harm in it.

    2. Mariobro3000

      I agree, the demo will be good I know it.

    3. Belinni

      Speaking of Metroid and demos I still have my Metroid Prime Hunters demo that came with every DS back when the DS first launched.

      It’s probably worthless now but as you said it may be good for practice since I never got around to buying the real Hunters game.

    4. Big E

      @Belinni OMG! Me too! I also pplayed thhe final version of MPH. Much more smooth than the demo (They had 2 more years to complete the thing, so…)

    5. Xarreno

      What, you too!? Well, if you did get the final copy of Hunters, you would have noticed the difference. For one thing, the lob shots in the demos (the ones that cause blurred vision) are now just lobs shots with a blast radius. It’s pretty overpowered in the demo when observing what was changed.

  5. J

    Oh I cannot wait for this! :D

  6. This Guy Here

    Yay

  7. Gunner

      Not coming to a Nintendo platform… don’t feel rejected when David ignores it.

    The 21st is a Tuesday for North America, not Thursday.

    1. Token

      And I can’t read.

    2. uhga buga

      o man you gave me a good laugh =D

  12. Radamantis

    about time…

  13. Maybe

    Best.
    News.
    Ever.
    Maybe?

  14. Mike S

    Great :D the Resident Evil Demo is starting to get boring lol

    1. adrian12369

      then just buy the actual game-its amazing!

    2. RIVER

      TELL ME ABOUT IT

      I’m saving the money for MGS and Kid Icarus, they’re worth my invested time.

    3. uhga buga

      lol i stopped playing it after a week and REVELAITONS is sitting quitly until i finish Darkside Chroncles, and RE 4 WE already beat Umbrella Chronicles.

      yea i got really into the story can you tell?

    4. Mike S

      @adrian I’m saving my money for the Wii U, I have no idea how much it will cost so i’m trying not to spend it too much.

  15. Phazer Effect

    ABOUT FU**ING TIME KONAMI!!!

  16. Get Me Off the Moon

    3ds > Vita

    1. Mariobro3000

      Smart

    2. Josh

      ½ 3ds = Vita²

    3. Sure.

      Please stop destroying people’s brain cells.

    4. 123chrisrules

      @Josh but your forgot add apple and divide by orange which makes the 3ds a lot better than the vita

    5. SAMSAMSAMSAM

      ^^^ His name ownz.

    6. Big E

      @123chrisrules But what about subtracting cupcakes to the pie power?

    7. 123chrisrules

      @Big E your right, but you for forgot to multiply by banana

    8. Big E

      It’s always the banana that throws me off. Instead I keep trying to find the slope of a cherry.

    9. 123chrisrules

      well finding the slope of the cherry may help, but you gotta take the square root of a strawberry and then divide it by rasberries

    10. Ispheria

      @Josh
      can we just say Vita=1/2 then?
      1/2 3ds=(1/2)^2
      1/2 3ds= 1/4
      3ds = 1/2
      3ds = Vita

      i’m tired of ppl trying to make this a war between the 3ds and Vita, i take no intrest in the Vita myself, i love my 3ds, but i do hope both will do good, as (in my opinion) the video game industry is having trouble right now, due to the free games on the iphone and stuff, and something…i lost my train of thought…

    11. Big E

      123chrisrules What’s wierd is that I could see this math conversation happening on the MLP: FiM show.

    12. 123chrisrules

      @Big E I actually can see that happening on Mlp;fim. Well we would have to wait to see. Chimichonga

  17. adrian12369

    i’ve only played the 1st & 4th one. this’ll help bridge the gap. i cant wait!

    1. RIVER

      1st and 4th?

      WHY THE HELL PLAY THEM OUT OF ORDER?

    2. Zimmer Remmiz

      Actually don’t expect any gap bridging, this is a prequel, if you want to fill the gap between those two games go pick up 2, it actually takes place between those two games…

    3. SAMSAMSAMSAM

      2 was alright, and chronologically it was after 1, correct?. This is supposed to be the best though, and since I’ve never played it, I’m looking forward to it.

  18. Mayker

    Here’s hoping the demo supports Circle Pad Pro

    1. Zimmer Remmiz

      It does, that has already been confirmed…

  19. Mr Guy

    Awesome. Can’t wait for the game.

  20. knightboy

    yessssssss iv never played a mgs game before just need ten more bucks till i can buy iy!

  21. SAMSAMSAMSAM

    I’ve been looking forward to this one for a looong time, but as the release date comes around the corner my pockets may have to stay closed… Budgeting, yuh know?

  22. Hybrilynx

    konami. pft. cant even make a card game right. you spend hundreds of dollars for a yugioh deck, then you loose turn 1 when your opponent goes first. anyways, yeah. at least we know something for north america for once.

  23. L1qu1d

    textures look washed out:S

    I hope this game is an improvement over ps2, so it looks like it has some plus, but textures are still less sharp than ps2:(

    1. Crazyhobo100

      If you saw the trailer the game looks fine

    2. L1qu1d

      No, I saw the trailer and ofc it looks fine lol, but I just was hoping for better graphics than ps2:P

      Atleast gameplay will be better that I know for sure.

    3. Big E

      Wasn’t there some website that showed comparisons to the PS2, 3D, and HD remakes? By what was shown, 3D was looking the best (To me).

    4. L1qu1d

      I saw that, it def has really well done models, and the Colors were better, but the texture and the enviroment was trumped by both the ps2 and Collection.

      In terms of VS collection, there is no competition.

      720p @ 60 fps. Its a win, but between ps2 and 3D I think it can be a toss up seeing as some like certain things more I guess:)

  24. cm93

    man it’s finally here!!
    just a few more days and i’ll be able to beat this game i started years ago!

    i had the PS2 version but my disc got scratched and well… never made it past the begining

    I WANT IT NOW!!!!!!
    and also the demo :P

  25. Zeem

    Did we get an announcement for Europe and Australia getting the demo as well?

  26. cm93

    David, what’s your take on metal gear?

  27. Crazyhobo100

    I’ve never played Metal Gear Solid before this might be my first game if the demos good:) Odds are its awesome

    1. Crazyhobo100

      Stupid comments awaiting moderation:(

    2. Big E

      As I was told, do not type f1rst (Type this way to avoid moderation)

  28. SakuMo

    Ah, cool. I’ll download it for sure.

  29. allblaster

    how about Europe?

    1. zxride64

      It was confirmed to be coming to Europe before North America.

  30. Matt

    FINALLY!!! :) lol IF U AGREE REPLY :P

  31. Ty

    Might get this game, but not sure. I already have the MGS HD Collection, so I may pass on this. But, the controls are much improved (and MGS 3′s controls totally suck which makes it annoyingly hard to play). I also kind of want the Vita version of the HD Collection so I’m still not sure…

  32. 1-up Dude

    Yay,can’t wait :3

    EPICSAUCE!

  33. JefteNintendoNerd

    MGS is better than Call of Duty. MGS is a man’s game while COD is a pussy ass bitch game for faggots that play online 24/7 like a fuckin idiot faggot.

    1. Michael Scott

      agreed

    2. uhga buga

  34. Mark Bernt

    …and here we are on Thurday, no demo. That’s good work, Konami!

    1. obama

    http://3dsforums.com/nintendo-3ds-games-31/metal-gear-solid-snake-eater-3d-demo-reactions-opinions-34939/

    I’d say this sums up my thoughts on the demo. Hopefully the game’ll be a lot better, because it’s not like Konami to release something so shitty. And the source material is great!

    1. Obama

      …Actually, playing it again, the demo’s quite nice after you get used to it.

  36. lamp64

  37. DaveC

    I was a gamer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.

  38. DeN

    have fun with horrible framerate and horrible controls
