Suda 51 announces 'The Silver Case' remakes for DS

by James Ransom-Wiley { Mar 12th 2007 at 6:25PM }

During a GDC presentation last week Grasshopper Manufacture frontman Suda 51 revealed that his studio would be remaking its first two games, porting them onto DS. The two installments of a mystery-riddled adventure series, The Silver Case (PS1) and The Silver Case Word 25 (mobile) were released only in Japan. Because these are both text-heavy adventures, there's a good chance the remakes will never be localized for non-Japanese markets either (Objection?!). Sure, you could import, but if you can't read the text featured in the image here, don't bother.

But don't fret either, Killer 7 fans jonesing for a Suda fix have No More Heroes to look forward to. Peep the new footage and decide if this Wii game will live up to its ultra-violent billing.

It's worth mentioning that NMH is only one of 3 wii games the suda is making right now.

Suda 51 says his favorite game of all time is Out of This World. That alone convinced me to pick up a used Killer7 for $10 a couple weeks back. Now when I finish it I have to pick up a used Contact for DS.

a cel-shaded gorefest with stupidly named assassins?

Sounds like the masculine dream made manifest

all it needs is hot chix :)

From what I can tell:

a) Nope, you don't get to use the Wii to freehand your lightsabre, at least for normal battles. Apparently the jackpot determines the style of your finisher. (opinion) But I would think it quite likely that they'll allow freehand lightsabre finishers as a fatality for bosses (aka the other assassins).

b) Obviously GTA inspired, in regards to environment. How that translates into gameplay is left to be seen however. (I'm going to say it's likely at least one boss battle will involve a vehicular chase, and anything which gets in the way would be smashed)

c) They got rid of the "Excuse me" voice, thankfully.
