Konami Digital Entertainment America today announced that Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes will be shipping worldwide in March 2004. The GameCube exclusive MGS remake will hit North American retailers on March 9, with the Japanese and European releases on Marh 11 and 26, respectively.

Enhanced graphics, entirely re-done cutscenes, and new gameplay mechanics accompany the relatively untouched storyline of one of the greatest games of the 32-bit era.
"I have now been in the video game business for eighteen years and I would never have gotten into this industry if not for Nintendo's Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto," said Hideo Kojima, Vice President of Konami Computer Entertainment Japan, Inc. "I am very happy to see the original METAL GEAR SOLID(r) game on a Nintendo console. Through the collaboration with film director Mr. Ryuhei Kitamura and the skilled staff at Silicon Knights, I hope everyone enjoys this new version, reborn with new talent on a new platform."
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes is ESRB rated "M" for Mature.
