Rumors are floating around that Konami announced Snake Eater will be coming out, for the 3Ds, in 2012. Original statements made by Hideo Kojima, during the Tokyo Game Show last year, had the game being released in 2011. The rumor is not clear if the 2012 release date is for North America or Japan.

Seeing the reaction Snake Eater received during E3, I would not be surprised to see a delay. If Konami was smart they would take some time cleaning up the game and controls.
