Suda 51 would like to do No More Heroes 3, it just won't happen anytime soon
24
It appears that Suda 51 thinks the odds of another No More Heroes game happening in the near future are about nil. During Grasshopper Manufacture's recent streaming event, Suda said (translation via Andriasang) he'd "like to" do another entry "at some point," but it isn't something that would happen anytime "soon." Oh, now you've got JC crying, Mr. Suda. Wonderful.
Character designer Yusuke Kozaki also offered an interesting proposition: a new game where Shinobu, the high school student by day, assassin by night who appeared in both No More Heroes and No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle is the main character. Kozaki also revealed that Grasshopper had come up with so many characters, it had enough for two more No More Heroes games. Okay, guys, now you're just being cruel!
The remainder of the event then shifted to Frog Minutes, the studio's charity iOS game. We spent some time with it, which you can read all about here.

Um, so when is the PS3 revamp due to release? It's got full Move functionality, right?
And do I remember reading something about it having some extra content not found on the Wii version?

I love these games so so SO much, that being said, if they make a game starring Shinobu and didn't address the jumping control issues then I would have to kill myself.

Every time I went to my mall back where I used to live, I'd ask if they had No More Heroes in their system (the Wii one). When they finally did, I paid it off in full right away. It was delayed two weeks to add french instructions, I was devastated.
What I'm trying to say here is that Suda 51 changed my life with killer7 and I will buy anything he makes.

I know what you mean. Killer 7, RE4 and then Okami. Capcom are still good but they won't have a hot streak like that again.
But on topic so will I. I can't wait for HD NMH and Shadows of the Damned looks so good.

Good.
No More Heroes 1 & 2 are great.
Concentrate instead on new franchises, new ideas, new inspiration and come back to the series rejuvenated.

Loving Suda51 and anything he makes. Dude is crazy and creative and his games reflect that.
No More Heroes is an amazing IP and I want a third. As soon as they can, without it being half-arsed.
Go, guys, go!

Well, it's at least in line with his statement from last year that NMH3 would most likely be on Nintendo's next home console.
All the more reason I'd like for a new Nintendo system in 2012/2013.

Loved NMH1.
Hate NMH2, thought it was terrible in every way compared to the first.
I'd love to see a 3 so he could take the bitter taste of 2 out of my mouth.

That's a great idea...but let's get the first 2 onwards for a U.S. release first?
I completely forgot the first is already released abroad.

I'm confused by your post...?
Both NMH and NMH2 are out (and have been out for quite a while) in North America, Europe, Japan, Australia...

For ps3?
Not unless I've been completely comatose the past 2 years. Import-only for the first maybe, which I do a poor job of tracking:

Not to knock him, but didn't he say a third game will never happen?
Dude really needs to make up his mind...or stop saying a game will or won't happen unless he's sure about it.

No More Heroes was one of my favorite games of this generation of consoles. NMH2 was good too, but had a really lousy final boss and ending. A new game should be made just to not leave us on a bad note.
Still would rather see another KILLER7!

He had nothing to do with the 360 and PS3 ports. That was handled by another developer.
