Waaaay back when he first started designing games, Goichi Suda and his Grasshopper team put out a game called Silver Case. Was a kooky murder investigation game. Well, as part of Grasshopper’s ongoing tenth anniversary celebrations, it’s been announced the game will be re-released. Well, re-released again, since a DS version’s already on the way. That’s the good news! The bad news is that, as a PS1 game, it’ll probably be Japan-only again, leaving it available only to the more enterprising digital importers amongst you.
Suda’s No More Heroes is violent. It’s also really, really stylish. Those are the two things the game’s probably most renowned for, so when a Japanese mobile version of the game turns up looking neither stylish nor violent, should you care? Yes! Because there’s not just one mobile game, there’s three of them, they take Travis and co. and turn them into fat-headed children, and because each game only costs ¥100 ($US 0.95).

Remember when No More Heroes creator Goichi Suda said third party Wii games weren’t selling? And then we looking at the sales chart and saw that, save Mario Party and Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games, Suda was right. But no, no, no. Suda says that quote was taken out of context, misinterpreted. On his company’s website, Suda tries to clear the air:
I am concerned to learn my comments in one interview regarding the success of Nintendo 3rd part titles have been misinterpreted. My point was that “NO MORE HEROES”, unlike a lot of Nintendo Wii titles currently available is the kind of product which will attract a different kind of consumer to the hardware. ie. gamers who are looking for a different genre to the products which have been successful on this platform thus far.
Nobody’s arguing with that! Heck, who’s arguing with the misinterpretation?!
