Suda 51 on violence in No More Heroes

I met up with Suda 51 to check out No More Heroes and I had a chance to ask him a few questions. The first thing on my mind was asking him if the AO rating on Manhunt 2 made him change the design of No More Heroes. He told me,

“I’m sorry I’m making everyone worry so much about No More Heroes. I didn’t worry about it. It’s a violent game, but it’s not a really violent game like Manhunt. It has cartoon-like violence so we aren’t concerned with the level of violence. If you compare it to Manhunt 2 then we lose. Manhunt 2 will feel more violent then us with its gore effects.”
