In the summer, we broke the news that Marvelous was considering hi-definition ports of their Wii games. No More Heroes will be the first game getting that treatment.

No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle has no MotionPlus enhancements but it does support the Classic Controller.

Fans of the incredible Flower, Sun, and Rain will be disappointed to hear that the game’s prequel, The Silver Case, which was being ported from PlayStation to DS, is now on hold. Or rather, the port is complete but Suda doesn’t want to release it.

The Lospass guidebook is one of the many things that go a long way toward making the world of Flower, Sun & Rain believable, but you won’t be using it for sightseeing.

No More Heroes may be a year old for us, but Korea doesn’t know who Travis Touchdown is yet. CyberFront picked up the rights to No More Heroes. Which version did they get?

Self described “video game band”, Grasshopper Manufacture, redesigned their website. Not something that we would usually report, but there is a little change in the section that mentions their principle business partners. Square Enix is on the list.

Let’s look back to the past for a minute. Back to 2006, when the Wii was still considered a “fad” and the best core third-party game we had on the system was Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition. Back when EA wasn’t prepping a Boom Blox sequel and a Wii version of Dead Space. Back when [...]

Two GDCs ago Grasshopper Manufacture head honcho and “punk” video game developer Goichi Suda noted the Silver Case was being remade for the Nintendo DS. The Silver Case was one of Grasshopper Manufacture’s earlier games and since it was a text adventure it wasn’t high on import lists. Instead of seeing the Silver Case on [...]

Marvelous’ announcement at Tokyo Game Show was a teaser clip for No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle. While the sequel’s name makes it sound like a Nintendo DS game, you know with the DS acronym, Grasshopper Manufacture is developing it for the Wii.

Xseed and Marvelous are partnering to release Flower, Sun, and Rain in North America sometime in 2009. But, Rising Star games is releasing an English version in Europe this October.
