Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D has been pushed back to a nebulous point in 2012, reports Kotaku. No reason was given for the delay, and the wide release target of an entire year doesn't sound extremely promising.

In only the last few months, we've seen delays for Cave Story 3D, two Sega titles, and an outright cancelation from Capcom. The 3DS still has some games on the way, but third parties are making 2011 look increasingly sparse.

Shacknews has contacted Konami, and will update with any new information.
