I forgot one thing that might be big news:

His press people passed out a sort of pamphlet for Grasshopper.

Under the heading "Principal Business Partners" were the following businesses:

Ascii Corportation
Capcom
Bandai Namco
Marvelous Interactive
Microsoft
Sega
Spike
Square Enix

This is merely a list of publishers that Grasshopper has made games for or plan to make games for. I believe that if you look at their previously-created works, you'll see every name on the list there. If you don't... then yeah, THAT would be big news.

The graphics seem to have gotten a lot better since those screenshots released a few months back which looked really bad. It's still rough but might work out in the game's benefit. I agree that the cheesy dialogue, over-dramatic music, etc. really crank up the game's style.

How much of the storyline did the Killer7 trailers show? I don't remember them showing so much gameplay footage.

EDIT: Meant to post this in the trailers thread but I guess it's fine here as well.

I'm looking forward to the Grasshopper event. Hopefully we might learn about his "other" Wii game.

He also has 2 DS titles in development too, right?

Yes he does, a graphic adventure and its spin off that were both published on mobile phones or something like that. Its unknown whether or not they are coming to the states because of its heavy translation.

Atlus will pull through for us, in the end. They always do.

I should support Atlus more and pick up Izuna and Touch Detective even though those games aren't particularly great.

Atlus just picked up Luminous Arc for a stateside release. :)

Well, Kojima is appearing at Hopper's, so...
Click to expand...

FWIW, Hopper's is the latest in an irregular string of Suda-fronted electro/punk music nights, featuring original game music and a spot of DJing from GHM musicians interspersed with conversation from Suda, Kojima, and other developers. There used to be footage from the 24 Hour Party People (lolz) event on the GHM site, but sadly no more.

So don't expect game announcements; it's more of a game culture night.

And I am so jealous.

3 Wii games (of which No More Heroes is one) and 2 DS games? Man, this guy is all over Nintendo.

He is all over innovation than the most top notch graphical technology. When you have a 20 person team and can make a Wii game for much less, takes a whole let less time and will probably sell more copies on it than the other 2 than why not make only Wii and DS games? He also said that Shiggy was a god to him, too so why not pay some respects to your influences.

I know man, I'm not hating. I love what he does and I also love what Nintendo does right now, so no problem. I have both DS and Wii next to the other-company stuff so I'm all for it.

Just gimme details on the other games! I bet we might get some details at this Hoppers event, although he might want to wait till No More Heroes is released...

So the Wii is getting 3 Wii games from Suda!:D And the DS 2?

The guy loves Nintendo! It's good...I think he can both help his company financially grow and also be able to get his creative juices going obviously. To have 2 more Wii games on top of NMH clearly shows Nintendo is inspiring the man. :)

I think one of them could be Kurayami. Afaik it was never officially announced for the PS3 and just a concept. Together with Suda's statement that they have no PS3 projects in development it would make sense imo.

Listen up Nintendo, Suda is telling you to buy Grasshopper and give them more people and more funding and Shiggy's guiding hand.

I don't know if Nintendo would want to own a studio who's output is mostly mature...

First parties buying developers isn't a good thing. And if Nintendo bought Grasshopper it would be the end of the world. Suda touch generation? Thinks not.

Maybe Nintendo can at least publish some of their games. That would be nice.

I don't think Grasshopper would like to make ties to a company, they seem pretty independent. The most you'll likely see is a second party agreement to only make games for Nintendo consoles with funding from Nintendo with Grasshopper/Suda retaining creative leadership over the company and their output. I wouldn't have it any other way. <3 Suda.

Do you honestly believe that MS or Sony would want to publish Killer7 as a first party title?

There is mature and then there is Killer7. Next to K7, Halo is Barbie Horse Adventures. The damn game features masturbation, S&M and ... should I really go on?

It would also be awesome if Grasshoper was given an old Nintendo franchise to reboot like StarTropics.

I have to disagree, I'd hate to see Grasshopper go the way of Retro and not get to do anything original. What would be awesome is if Nintendo agreed to publish or finance one of his projects and gave him a huge budget to work with.

Yea, but that's so unrealistic there is no need to entertain that idea.

Likely as unrealistic as Nintendo handing Grasshopper an old franchise to reboot. But a guy can dream...

Every title they've done besides Contact has been on the PS1 and PS2, including Killer7.

His games never sold well on Sony systems either, perhaps he's also just trying a new audience.
