Lollipop Chainsaw has two image characters: Jessica Nigri for the West and Mayu Kawamoto for Japan. Kawamoto is a black belt in karate, but Nigri has, I guess, a black belt in revealing cosplay.
Goichi Suda, the man behind No More Heroes and Killer 7 (above), is working on a new game called Killer Is Dead. According to the upcoming issue of Famitsu, Suda is directing this assassin title. The game apparently takes its cues from both Killer 7 and No More Heroes. Killer Is Dead, however, is an original game.
Digital Reality and Grasshopper Manufacture’s shooter Sine Mora will released on Xbox Live Arcade March 21 for 1200 Microsoft Points, Grasshopper revealed today.
The latest trailer for Lollipop Chainsaw reminds us that just one bite from a zombie is all it takes to spell doom. Unless, of course, you have a loved one nearby to cheerfully chop off your head and keep it animated… somehow.
In the Japanese “Premium Edition” of Lollipop Chainsaw, players can switch between a “D-rated” version a “Z-rated” (think Mature) version. The standard version is D-rated. Watch the game’s trailer here, complete with sparkles and vivisections. [ゲーム情報！ゲームのはなし]
In the high-school food chain, it always seemed like nerds or stoners would be the natural enemies to cheerleaders, not goths. Suda51 seems to think otherwise, judging by the trailer for the developer’s upcoming Warner Bros-published action game.
Suda51′s upcoming mash-up of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (movie version, mind you) and grindhouse horror flicks just scored some scary-sweet box art that Warner Bros. Games is sharing with the world.
What you’ve got to love about Suda51 is the way his avid embrace of junk culture and grindhouse aesthetic informs everything he does. The buckets of gore in all of his games, the lucha libre wrestling mask he used to do interviews in and the foul-mouthed, hormone-plagued tension in No More Heroes and Shadows of the Damned make them all more idiosyncratic than most other games out there. The newest trailer for his latest game, the PlayStation 3 and box 360′s Lollipop Chainsaw, puts all that on display again. You’ll get to wave your pom poms in March of next year.
