Metal Gear Solid 3DS: Snake Eater to launch in Europe on March 8

Konami's confirmed this afternoon it'll release Metal Gear Solid 3DS: Snake Eater in Europe on March 8.

The 3D remake of the 2005 PS2 epic will come out a mere few days after its seventh anniversary in Europe - it launched on March 4, 2005.

It'll also release a month after the HD remaster of the game will have released as part of the MGS HD Collection on PS3 and 360.

The game will see the origins of Naked Snake/Big Boss in the height of the Cold War.
