Snake Eater 3D gets western release date and shitty box art

Are you implying it isn't already?

[Jonathan]

No. I, like you, believe the Vita will be the best hendheld of the New Generation.

I was implying that homebrew software would ensure it's rightful position as the dominant handheld.
The official Games LineUp look pretty fucking sweet anyway.

[Kurosan]

That's not how emulation works, guys. Simply having more powerful hardware isn't enough, unless the function is already built into the software or extra hardware is there specifically for that (in which case it's not emulation anymore and is simply backwards compatibility), such as Master System on Genesis, GameCube on Wii, or both the software and hardware support of PS2 games on PS3.

Emulating a console on a system that wasn't built for it requires much, much more power than what's being emulated. There's no doubt that the Vita is more powerful than the 3DS, but I doubt that it's enough for decent -- let alone perfect -- emulation, nevermind the lack of two screens.

Now, Now, Kurosan, I know how emulation works, were just thinking out loud here.

Remeber, this is all theoretical stuff we're talking about.
No one said how well it'll run, if it could, anyway.

[Kurosan]

Ahh, sorry about that then. In that case yes, on a purely theoretical level, a portable system with the hardware that the Vita offers AND with the ability to emulate even current-level competition would be badass. Reminds me of when I *ahem* "unlocked" my PSP's full potential. A glorious day indeed.

EDIT: In all actuality, if I could just have decent controls on my phone, I'd be pretty happy with its emulation at this point. Fuck touch controls.

Actually, 3DS emulation is a maybe?
I only say this because from my understanding (not much) the 3DS is almost as powerful as a PS2, and the VITA is almost as (somewhere I heard it's more) powerful than a PS3.
That coupled with the lack of 3D in the PSV, and the second camera angle being a large drain on Video Memory in the DS(from my experience with trying to do various other things in 3D)...
...I'd probably say, with this semi-educated guess, that we might be able to see MGS3DS on PSV.

I hope they do add stuff from the 3DS version. MGS3 would really benefit from the crouch walk. Over the shoulder would be cool to, but all thats unlikely.
What they will add i most probably what jdnation suggested

Apologies for the necropost, but I'm planning on replacing the boxart with something more suitable. I'm got the game from Walmart's website (I had a $30 gift card that I didn't know what to pick, and I felt the need to get a 3DS retail game instead of playing the demo).

I might want some scans of the official boxart, both Japanese and American/European/Australian on all sides. Since I do not want to wait Tuesday to get it by mail, and I do not have a scanner at my house (I'm at someone else's house at the time of this writing and I only visit here every two weekends). They have to be on 300ppi and in .png format.
