A Nintendo 3DS version of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater with some platform-specific new features, including (as one would expect) stereoscopic 3D support. Also, they added the crouch-walk from Metal Gear Solid 4 too.

Ops Menu

A strange menu, most of its options are empty. This menu looks like it should be related to the main Dev Menu but at some stage of development it was abandoned. You can get to the main Dev Menu from here but can not return back.

Unused Music

A bunch of situational music from different Metal Gear games (MGS1-3, Twin Snakes, and MG1-2) remain in the games files, likely remnants of the initial iteration of Metal Gear Online, where you could choose music from a specific game. Also present is the Snake vs. Monkey theme from Subsistence.
