Up until this point, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D was only available as a physical game for the Nintendo 3DS in the United Kingdom. That changes today with the release of the digital version of the game.Nintendo's UK Twitter account tweeted this:

This right here is one of the best games ever created. You can read why it's my favorite game of all time here. This is also the game that introduced us to the younger version of the man who would become Big Boss. To say that it's an important part of the Metal Gear Solid mythos would be an understatement.

As of now this version of the game is only available in the UK. I went into the Nintendo 3DS eShop to check if it's available to download in the United States and as of now all you can download is the demo. If/when this becomes available in North America we'll let you know. As for you UK guys, GET ON THIS if you haven't already.
