Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the origin story of Naked Snake and his mentor The Boss and the fifth title in the METAL GEAR series.

The game is set in a deep jungle environment.
Snake must find his equipment and use various camouflage which allows the player to deceive the enemy's eyes and face paint that matches the surrounding environment, providing a unique stealth gameplay experience.

The game is also packed with new action elements which allow players to capture jungle animals for food and to regain stamina, and Close Quarters Combat (CQC), a combat system based on martial arts for fighting enemies at close range.

An exclusive digital Screenplay Book and Master Book that details the story and characters in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater are also included.

Nintendo Life said:

Originally released in 2004, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is widely considered to be the finest entry in Hideo Kojima’s Magnum Opus. And almost 20 years later, it’s still easy to see why, even though some aspects of the game haven’t aged particularly gracefully. For Switch owners who have never delved into the Metal Gear franchise until now, this prequel represents a significant step up in terms of ambition and scope, providing a wholly original stealth experience while retaining some of the series’ most iconic game mechanics.
