It's always a pleasure hanging with Goichi Suda. Guy's super-nice. So anyway, there we were this morning, chatting about No More Heroes, when I asked what he was up to now that the game was about ready to ship. He said Grasshopper were working on a new title, and that it would be appearing on the 360. Cue a frantic little exchange between Suda and his translator, but hey, you can't unsay stuff. He also said that the game would be a full, proper release, not an XBLA download.

Sounds excellent and awesome pic Luke! ;D
?!... !... :D hurray!
Hey, He makes games that are perfect for the shooter box.
Awesome stuff.
Also: Kyuss shirt FTW.
As much as I'd rather hear, "We're working our asses off to have NMH out next month, worldwide," I'm interested to see just what he has up his sleeve.
No hold on just a second Suda, you know damn well I don't have the funds for a 360 (well I assume he knows).
Guess I'll hope for a PC version, and come December when I do get a Wii, No More Heroes is quite high on my list.
Watch as people who previously did not care for Suda games now suddenly grant him genius status.
:: sits with a tub of popcorn and munches ::
Congratulations 360, you got me more reasons to buy you when ever those falcon models role around instead of mooching like I do now.
Suda, you make me smile. I might buy a Wii because of you.
I watched a new vid of No More Heroes and I noticed the blood and stuff is missing. I wonder if they changed it?
Since it seems that the characters now just go poof into a cloud of pixels or something instead of the early footage.
Kyuss...wow...takes me back to like 1992 ('sup to growing up in palm springs). ugh i feel old... are they still around??? nice pose! ^_^
@Witzbold:
Suda said NMH would be bloodier and have much more gore than Manhunt 2. And we all know what happened to manhunt.
Yeah, he was probably pressured by Marvelous or Ubisoft or somebody to tone that down so it wouldn't push the same button. The thing with the pixelated health bar and powerups seem to fit into that theme though, so I'm not really bothered by it.
@Stormrider900: More on the blood/violence thing coming
@Plunkett: Ah cheers Luke. Will be looking foward to what happened with that.
Even though personally I dont mind, since Im getting the game for the characters, but was just suprised to see that it looked different.
What happened to Kurayami! That's the reason I bought a PS3 (well that and Ueda). Don't break my heart 51.
Great. Now I need to get a 360.
@Plunkett: Actually, Luke, since you're the one who talked to him, I'm curious: How is Suda's English? I noticed that Miziguchi's was pretty good, and I read somewhere that Miyamoto is fluent but prefers to speak in person through a translator to prevent vocal flubs, so I'm curious as to whether English knowledge is common to a lot of Japanese game designers.
i don't get it. what does the shirt mean? "kyuss"
Wasn't he saying stuff about wanting to make a game on 360 a while ago? :) I'm sure I read that somewhere. It's good to know that he is actually doing it now.
Suda is great
@angry_poster: Kyuss was a stoner rock band active during the early 90s. A good portion of the band went on to form Queens of the Stone Age.
@Black-Dog-Howls: Pfft I will like him on my Wii just as much thank you very much :P. Its always nice when a developer tries something new.
This is relevant to my interests.
@MetaKz: Yes, you've read it here: [wii.ign.com]
Anyway, good to hear that. Grasshopper working on a 360 game, iNiS working on a 360 game, Treasure working on several 360 games... Now all we need is Seeds confirming the rumors about their Xbox 360 project.
suda suda, and more suda. You can never get enough of this guys material. truely original... and No More Heroes is one game I've been waiting for the wii for a long long time now.
Looks good so far!
Can't wait for a 360 game by suda51 and it's goin to be a full release! awesome
Kyuss???
Luke is my mutha fukin hero!
RAWK
Where in the world did you get a Kyuss shirt?
I want one.
Kyuss FTW
Bows down at the Kyuss shirt
Amen Brother !
And I just got a 360!
Even though I know I'll love NMH, I want to see what 51 can do on a more powerful system.
This news is hot.
Great shirt Luke! Where'd you find it? I gotta get one - especially considering the fact that I named my dog after that band.
Props on the Kyuss shirt.
I want that Kyuss shirt. Now.
Kyussssssss
Kyuss Shirt + Beard = Teh Win.
Kyuss defintly FTW, however, no "official" shirts were ever made if I recall ;)
Great shirt Luke!
Kyuss, (Kai-uss)for those to young to rock in the early 90's was a guitar driven, psycho-rock band that turned into Queens of the Stone Age, minus the lead singer. They were seminal for much of the dirtier rock emerging today with a heavier, guitar lead sound that often played back upon itself, thus the 'stoner rock' dubbing they often recieve. They were amazing and if you don't own an album pick up "Blues For the Red Sun", you won't regret it.
damn suda 51 is cool, nmh is the one reason i might even think about buying the wii
@Coffeeguy
Right on, dude! Kyuss was awesome.
Very nice. I loved Killer7, and no more heroes is sounding like a great game, too.
Cheers!
Bugger, I have to go change my shorts. :p
So where can I preorder already?
