Although developer Grasshopper Manufacturer has been quietly working on the approaching third entry for No More Heroes, fans in the meantime have been on the rise asking the team to also ship some of its most notable entries to Nintendo Switch as well. Disconnected from the No More Heroes series, fans are looking to the older releases that studio head Goichi “Suda51” Suda is most known for.
With the burning question in mind, Suda himself went to address some of the big requests that followers of Grasshopper Manufacturer have been very vocal about for the past couple of months. During a livestream show involved with this year’s virtual Momocon, Suda spoke on the current situation regarding the port for multiple titles to Nintendo’s latest system.
During that, Suda had a translator to convey what is necessary to bring these titles to the Switch. For the more anticipated Killer7, Suda explains that the decision is up to Capcom to allow the port. Same goes for Killer is Dead as Kadokawa Games are the current majority holder of the property. But the likeliest of them all is shared to be Silver Case.
That’s [Silver Case] one game that he would love to release on the Switch. There have been discussions about it. At the moment, there’s nothing really concrete that he can say, but there’ve definitely been discussions about it, and he’s doing what he can to make that a reality.
Previously, Suda has stated that he would like to remake Flower, Rain, and Sun which initially released on PlayStation 2 and later shipped to Nintendo DS as well. But at the time did not spare much detail on pursuing the project. In the recent interview, Suda told that he has began speaking with an unnamed team to port the game rather than a full remake, but nothing has been established, Suda clarifies.
Other mentions that Suda brushed upon was 1997’s Moonlight Syndrome. Although the title remained unique to the PlayStation, the game’s following continued to live on. But despite forming a cult following, Suda explains that it might not be likely to re-release as the title holds motifs that might not coincide well with western players.
Again on the matter of Silver Case, Suda tells that the 1999 game is the best we could expect to hit the Switch later on. “I guess right now, possibly the most realistic of those would be The Silver Case.” Any specific metrics regarding release has yet to be discussed or even the team that will be involved with the game’s re-release.
In a previous interview with Dualshockers, Suda told the outlet that he was talking with Marvelous into working out remasters for the first two No More Heroes titles to Nintendo Switch. You can read the full report by heading here.
