Hideo Kojima's best known for his Metal Gear Solid series — already confirmed for 3DS in the form of Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, of course — but his Zone of the Enders games on PS2 are fondly remembered by fans of Japanese robots that blow each other up. The series has been dormant for a few years, but it might be ready to reemerge on 3DS.
Kojima recently Tweeted a photo of a model from the series, with the words "Z.O.E. 3DS" seemingly written in the background. Note how the 3DS font cleverly mirrors the Z.O.E. text, except without those pesky full stops.
It wouldn't be the series' first appearance on a Nintendo portable either: 2002 saw the release of Zone of the Enders: The Fist of Mars on Game Boy Advance, and with a HD remake of the first two PS2 games heading to PS3 and Xbox 360 now would be the perfect time to resurrect the series.
That's all we've got to go on for now, but we may hear more at Gamescom or next month's Tokyo Games Show.

Color me interested.
I've got no idea what this series is like.......but I'm getting a Custom Robo vibe and I'm loving it.
Not heard of it until now, I will keep an eye out for more news.
This could be interesting.
Never heard of it, but it seems intresting..
Dang, at first I thought this had something to do with Ender's Game, but disappointment seems to be my mistress today.
Oh well.
@SilverBaretta Ditto .
The first two ZOE games were on the PS2, and one side-story game on the GBA
@SilverBaretta
DEFINITELY NOT like Custom Robo...
Closer to Armored Core... except no customization.
@ Nintendolife: Why do you mark the news as a rumour? Don't you think that such a picture isn't clear enough?^^
Don't know much about the series but even if it just plays like the GBA game it could be cool. So bring it on Kojima.
Interesting.
@L_Brown
Exactly. It's a tweet from Kojima himself, so it's more or less confirmed.
Unfortunetly this is just a rumour
Been so long since I played ZOE, but you better believe if this happens, I will be picking it up!
OH GOSH OH GOSH OH GOSH...
Kinda would have rather it was announced for Wii U but OH GOSH...
OhmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodOHMYGOD.
Please do this, Kojima, this game alone would make my 3DS worth it twice over. I freaking loooooooove Zone of the Enders. Make it happen!
On the left edge of the image you can see 8/5:2 ... most likely a crpped text that wasnt mean to appear on the image, but it could be also hinting something (maybe a date)
Cool, more good games may be coming.
This news is actually quite epic! I cannot wait for this!
@7ATalavera (18.): Or it means PS2 ...
im going to wait for this!!
