The HMD Global Oy, the Finnish manufacturer that bought the rights to market phones under the Nokia brand from Microsoft, will reportedly launch a "modern version" of 3310 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this month. According to the report, the phone will be launched on Feb. 26 and will cost only €59 ($63).

However, the burning question: will the new 3310 contain the legendary Snake game? Twitter certainly hopes so:

You can still play Snake on your phone -- without the physical keys, unfortunately -- by downloading Snake '97 from Google Play, the App Store and the Windows Phone store.
