For some strange reason, the US market received Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater PRIOR to Japan.
Not sure what's up with that, but usually it's the other way round,
so take a few seconds to gloat at your good fortune.
Done? Good. Here's some great stuff from the launch event for the game in Tokyo this past Thursday. Highlights include
a very scary life size Solid Snake, appearances from various people involved in the project, and the seemingly
obligatory cute Japanese women. Wearing very strange hats.
Oh yes, and Snake pimping chocolate bars…
Why are US launches never this interesting?
