Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D is a Nintendo 3DS version of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater with some new platform-specific features, including (as one would expect) stereoscopic 3D support. Also, they added the crouch-walk from Metal Gear Solid 4.

Ops Menu#

A strange menu, most of its options are empty. This menu looks like it should be related to the main Dev Menu but at some stage of development it was abandoned. You can get to the main Dev Menu from here but can not return back.

Turns out that the original camera angles are still left inside the game.

Unused Cutscenes#

Unused Ending Cutscenes#

In the 3DS version, the cutscene that begins with Snake waking up begins to play as a pre-rendered animation, so the hidden view of later cutscenes cannot be triggered. However, the real-time rendered version of it remains in the game, just with a few issues with the audio.

Guy Savage#

Guy Savage's cutscenes still remain in the game, as most of this game is a port from Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence.

Peep Show#

Peep Show is still in the game, and all features have been completed (including 3D stereoscopic vision) except for the sound effects, which cannot be played properly, and because the Demo Theater feature has not been completed, Peep Show cannot be viewed in the game in the normal way either.

Unused Levels#

hx001a#

Unused Difficulty#

In the 3DS version, the lowest difficulty is "Easy" and the highest difficulty is "Extreme". They correspond to the original game's "Very Easy" and "European Extreme". However, the "Easy" and "Extreme" difficulties from the original game remain in the game and work perfectly. It is unclear why these two difficulties were not enabled.

Unused Graphics#

E3 2011 Demo Leftovers#

Unused Item Icons#

Snake vs. Monkey Codec Images#

Unused Music#

A bunch of situational music from different Metal Gear games (MGS 1–3, Twin Snakes, and MG 1–2) remains in the game's files, likely remnants of the initial iteration of Metal Gear Online, where you could choose music from a specific game. Also present is the Snake vs. Monkey theme from Subsistence.
