GamePodunk editor MarcusEstrada reports on Guild01 for 3DS, which will be published by level-5. Details include dishing out who is behind the designs of the 4 games that are within the Guild01 game. Does this look like a good packages to get your hands on? Read on for more details.
"There's going to No More Heroes for a third time, according to game developer Goichi Suda, who claims the title will probably be seeing its first release on Nintendo's Wii U platform sometime in the future"
"Rising Star Games has announced the appointment of a new columnist at their Hoshi Club – the online destination for videogame fans to find out the latest details on Rising Star Games’ videogame releases and insight into Japanese culture. Following the signing of ex-Edge deputy editor, David McCarthy, Alex Sim-Wise shall have her own personal space to write about videogames, Japanese culture and pretty much anything she wishes."
According to series creator, Suda 51, the next No More Heroes game will not be on the Wii. Despite the Wii's hardware sales and customer base, Suda feels that he needs to expand his audience and reach out to other consoles in order to make his ambitions of NMH becoming into a bigger franchise come true. So even if NMH 2 sells decently, he seems to have made up his mind about not keeping the series on the Wii. Given Suda's thoughts on Natal, it seems quite obvious where the series could end up.
It's all about the DS this week, fellas, ladies. Sure, there's a few notables for the other platforms (Rune Factory: Frontier on the Wii, Resistance: Retribution on PSP), but none of them can top a whopping six high profile titles, and of such a great variety. Three RPGs, one RTS, one shooter, one racer, and GTA: Chinatown Wars? Never been a better time to be a DS owner than now..
""This has been a standout year for No More Heroes and Rising Star Games," said Martin Defries, Rising Star Games managing director. "We've had fantastic critical reception for NMH from the start; to be nominated in so many categories and place in the top ten in many polls proves how well a third party title can do on the Wii if you get it right. We're all really excited to see the next step up in NMH2!""
"Electronic Theatre has today received clarification of the finer details of the release of No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle. Firstly, Europe is the only territory which shall receive two separate retail products, and so it is Rising Star Games responsibility to relay such details. And that they did..."
"Just a few moments ago, Grasshopper Manufacture announced Suda51s latest production. Due for release in the UK 2009 courtesy of Rising Star Games a publisher quickly becoming synonymous with quality productions from overseas re-marketed for a UK audience Travis Touchdown will grace Wii once again in the sequel to No More Heroes.
As an exclusive title for Wii..."
In the past, box art was clean and simple, such as the Atari 2600's. Nowadays, we have these amazing designs for box covers, but what if the games we play today had the same covers of the Atari 2600? the-minusworld has created some, such as Halo 3 and No More Heroes.
There's more in the source for you to check out as well.
Yes, you read the title correctly. A mobile phone version of No More Heroes is being released soon, though it doesn't include the "violence" or "style" that fans know and love from the Wii version. Instead, you play as a cutesy chibi version of Travis, and looks as deep as any typical mobile game.
Maybe the makers should have taken a page out of Square Enix's book and created a more impressive-looking mobile game like Final Fantasy: Before Crisis.
"Grasshopper founder Suda51 has told MCV that he first planned for Rising Stars No More Heroes to be an Xbox 360 title.
Speaking exclusively in the No More Heroes Recommended Extra magazine given away free in this weekss MCV magazine, Suda51 said:
Originally, Id wanted to make this game for Xbox 360, actually. [Marvelous Interactive boss] Wada-san had information about the new Wii and how the new controller would work before it came out, so thats why he thought I should produce the ..."
Well, we're already almost a few weeks into 2008, and we've experienced the January slump; it's a hangover from the holiday season, and a teaser for a stocked and loaded February and March. However, that's not to say that there aren't quality games coming out in January. What games are you gonna get that are coming out this week?
Notable games this week:
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (DS)
Burnout: Paradise (360, PS3)
Endless Ocean (Wii)
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (DS)
No More H...
So, with apparently a pretty meager Wii lineup in January, most people were content with not spending money until Super Smash Bros. Brawl hits February 10.
Well, not anymore.
Ubisoft has confirmed to IGN that No More Heroes has been moved up from its sure-death release date of sometime-around-February-10 to a more palatable and survivable January 22nd. Meaning, we get this hotly anticipated Suda 51 action game in three weeks.
And I thought I could coast to February.
"Ubisoft on Wednesday revealed exclusively to IGN that it has picked up the rights to publish the anticipated Wii action game No More Heroes in North America. The title will release stateside next February, just two months after the Japanese ship date.
No More Heroes is developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and directed by Suda 51, who also helmed the critically acclaimed GameCube adventure title Killer 7. The brutal endeavor pits players as Travis Touchdown, a hardcore anime fan living in ..."
Being one of the first Wii games shown in video form back in E3 2006, it has gathered quite a following with it's unique visual style and over-the-top characters. We haven't seen much of Suda 51's stylized, twisted (and extremely bloody) Wii game since then, but the official Japanese website has confirmed that it will be playable at the Tokyo Games Show!
