Developer Grasshopper Manufacture as of late is currently crunching out the latest entry for one its most recognized franchises, No More Heroes III. The newest installment revealed over a year ago was told to ship sometime in 2020 with a few glimpses at the game following the announcement then. Alongside that, studio head Goichi ‘Suda51’ Suda has spoken on the matters of pursuing other prolific entries from the firm.
These titles includes Flower Sun and Rain, a PlayStation 2 title which released way back in 2002. Suda later elaborated on the maters of reworking previous projects of his, stating that the firm would most likely ship out a reworking for 1999’s The Silver Case for Nintendo Switch. Other properties such as Killer7 and Killer is Dead are said to only be negotiated through the title’s respected publisher.
Additionally, Suda is also underway with another, lesser detailed project with White Owls Inc head Hidetaka ‘Swery65’ Suehiro. Dubbed Hotel Barcelona, the title is said to be a “side-scroller” and aims to approach the title with an independent developed aesthetic. The two initially planned the game to ship to PlayStation VR, but it fell through before the current ambition.
Now in a new report, Grasshopper Manufacture looks to be re-releasing one of its most classic entries for Nintendo Switch, No More Heroes. Originally shipping on Nintendo Wii followed by PlayStation 3, the game has left a lasting impression on the industry from its robust motion control gameplay. The title was found on the Taiwan Digital game Ratings Committee.
However, the project could perhaps be underway from another developer. Speaking on the matters of possibly reintroducing the 2007 title and its 2010 sequel No More Heroes II, Suda disclosed that Grasshopper Manufacture would likely contact Marvelous to work on the port for Nintendo Switch. The Japanese team is previous responsible for Travis Strikes Back: No More Heroes when it arrived to PlayStation 4 and PC.
Recently, Suda himself showcased a glimpse at No More Heroes III with a new gameplay trailer. During that he spoke about his experience during the ongoing pandemic and the difficulties he faced. However, the lead developer was sitting in front of the screen throughout the entire duration of the new footage. You can read the full report by heading here.
