Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater is a pachislot adaptation of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater produced by Konami Parlor Entertainment (KPE). It was the first Metal Gear-related project that was released following the departure of Hideo Kojima from Konami Digital Entertainment (KDE) and the shutdown of the original Kojima Productions studio.

Publisher's summary[]

In 1964 during the Cold War, a young soldier belonging to the U.S. Special Forces "FOX", codenamed "Naked Snake", goes to the Soviet Union to assist the defection of scientist Sokolov. However, the mission fails due to the betrayal of Snake's teacher, a female soldier called "The Boss", who is also known as the mother of special forces. Furthermore, a miniature nuclear warhead brought by The Boss is used in the country by Colonel Volgin of the Soviet Union. In order to deny any involvement in the incident, the U.S. government demanded that Snake eliminate The Boss, whom he admires. What is the true intention of The Boss, who betrayed her homeland America? The origin of the "Metal Gear" series, the story of the birth of the legendary mercenary "BIG BOSS".[4]

Development[]

It was unveiled on June 1, 2016 via a teaser trailer,[5] although its development was hinted at as early as October 5, 2015, when KPE registered for a trademark for their BIG BOSS pachislot machine.[6]

It was announced that the game would be released on a new type of pachislot cabinet known as the "BIG BOSS", which features a 32-inch LCD screen in full HD that covers most of its surface (rather than the usual 12-inch screen used by standard cabinets). Scenes from the original game were remade with updated CGI to showcase the machine's video capabilities. It was released in Japan on October 17, 2016.[3]

On July 14, 2016, a 7-minute promotion movie was unveiled, with the official site also being massively overhauled to give more details about the game. Gameplay modes shown were a chibi-ized version of the Virtuous Mission, Survival Mode (which involved riding on EVA's motorcycle and taking down any enemies in the way), Operation Snake Eater, as well as bonuses such as Big Bonus (with two options being Theater BB and Flower BB) and various Regular Bonuses.

Differences between original game and pachislot version[]

The ending timeline is superimposed over Naked Snake's sorrowful salute to The Boss's grave (and it being colored in sepia tone). Originally, the scene shifted to a black background and then showed the ending timeline. Additionally, starting midway through the timeline, the following has been changed:
