  Grasshopper Announces No More Heroes Sequel

Grasshopper Announces  No More Heroes  Sequel

Cult Wii title No More Heroes is getting a sequel, following a surprise announcement by Grasshopper Manufacture CEO Goichi Suda (aka Suda51) at the Tokyo Game Show.

A trailer for No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle was revealed, and like its predecessor, it will be a Wii exclusive, currently slated for January or February of 2010.

Few other details of the new game were announced, but consumer website Eurogamer reports that Suda51 wanted to make a sequel in part to "reward the surprisingly large numbers of fans the first game amassed in Europe and the U.S."

The game will again be published by Marvelous Entertainment in Japan. In the West, the original was published by Rising Star Games in Europe and by Ubisoft in North America. As a result, the two versions were different -- the European version, like the original Japanese, featured little explicit gore in contrast with the significantly bloodier American version.

Along with the upcoming Western release of Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse (aka Project Zero 4), Grasshopper Manufacture is also working on an unnamed action horror project with Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami for EA.

The busy developer is also committed to Kurayami on the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo DS -- remakes of Suda51’s earlier titles Flower, Sun and Rain and The Silver Case.

I think Suda San built a No More Heroes sequel to offer Wii owners a compensation for missing out the horror project with Shinji Mikami and EA, becose they selected UE3 to develop the game, instead they can downgrade the engine to work on Wii... Mr. Suda you know the big crown of hardcore Wii owners and if you unknown that we want, I tell you:
"We want the horror project for Wii using a downgrade UE3 version and We want the No More Heroes sequel using the same downgrade engine".
It's absolutely possible, you and Mikami are two of the best game developers and it's no a challenge for you.

I think this is good news for Nintendo, because NMH utilized the WiiMote in such a creative and amazing way unlike most other 3party companys have.
