Cave Story 3D will be making its way to Japan next year. Nipon Ichi will be publishing the title. A release date hasn’t been announced as of yet, but CEO Sohei Shinkawa teased a collaboration with a well known retro game for the Japanese version.
Consumers will be able to purchase a Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D hardware bundle when the game launches in Japan. The news was posted on the Kojima Productions Twitter account earlier today. Although the studio was not able to provide additional information about the bundle, fans can expect more details before Snake Eater 3D releases.

Atlus, Aquaplus, and Nippon Ichi all have teased new titles when asked about their thoughts for 2012.
Speaking with Famitsu, Atlus said that “That title you’ve been waiting for may be announced.” Aquaplus, meanwhile, has an announcement coming up in just a few days. Lastly, Nippon Ichi’s new title will apparently be revealed through an upcoming illustration.
These were all pretty vague teases. The question of the day is, will any of these projects end up on a Nintendo platform?
Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D will launch in Japan alongside an accessory kit. Hori is preparing the package for the game’s launch in March.
The Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D Accessory Set includes the following:
– Original Pouch: Capable of holding the system, multiple cards and various accessories.
– Decoration Stickers: Stickers for customizing your 3DS into Metal Gear colors.
– Protect Cover: Covers for the system’s top and bottom shells. (top cover can’t be used when you have the system’s Circle Pad expansion attached.)
– Touch Pen: Includes a strap. The pen can be extended between 70mm and 127mm.
The Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D Accessory Set will be available in Japan on March 8 for 2,981 yen.
