These aren't just glossy white 3DS units. They are, for Metal Gear fans, two of the coolest pieces of merchandise they will ever lay their eyes upon.

Metal Gear Solid, never one to shy away from a collaboration, is bringing Hooters girls to upcoming its 3DS game, Snake Eater 3D.

This week's Nintendo download comes with a mouthful of slinky lizard as the demo for Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D hits the 3DS eShop, all stealthy-like.

Konami's latest in a never-ending line of Metal Gear Solid remakes, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D, will be out on the Nintendo 3DS in the US on February 21.

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater is coming to the Nintendo 3DS as Snake Eater 3D. To mark the occasion, the game is getting a very special Nintendo 3DS. Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima provided a first sneak peek.

As first revealed during last night's Nintendo Direct, the 3DS is getting five game demos in Japan: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D, Rhythm Thief & The Emperor's Theater, New Love Plus and Resident Evil: Revelations.

Originally Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D was supposed to be out this December. Then, at September's Tokyo Game Show, Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima said the game would be out in early 2012.

Everything we've seen so far of Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D has made it look little more than a tech demo for Nintendo's new console. But according to MCV, it may be less of a demo and more a nearly finished game.
