MGS Twin Snakes Gets New Screens

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes is set for release on March 4 - eight lovely new screens inside. Bundle to be released in Japan.

Take a look at the latest screens from the GameCube-only Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes - quite nice as you can see, and with the added bonus of a perfectly composed cleavage shot.

Twin Snakes is the result of a unique alliance between series creator Hideo Kojima, Nintendo development icon Shigeru Miyamoto and Canadian development studio, Silicon Knights. Working closely together, this enviable array of talent have updated the original story first seen in the PSone version of Metal Gear Solid, and bringing it to life using the landmark graphics and gameplay elements seen in the seminal Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty for PlayStation 2.

Cast as Solid Snake, an expert covert agent, the player must help the legendary hero infiltrate an Alaskan nuclear missile disposal facility now under terrorist control. The base has been seized by the FOXHOUND group who are planning to use the weapons within to hold the world to ransom. Snake's mission is thus simple: enter the base, eliminate the terrorist cell and neutralise the nuclear threat - a weapon codenamed Metal Gear.

The Nintendo game also benefits from specially created CG sequences, overseen by renowned Japanese film director Ryuhhei Kitamura and utilising the latest in motion-capture techniques. Similarly, David Hayter - the voice of Solid Snake in his previous adventures - has reprised his role and has recorded all new lines for Twin Snakes.

Meanwhile, Japanese gamers will see the game released on March 11 with a special Twin Snakes edition of the GameCube, in a bundle that includes the game, a MGS souvenir book, and a bonus disc containing the original NES version of the game. Stay tuned for more - there's not long to wait now.
