Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered

No More Heroes developer Grasshopper Manufacture made it official today that Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered will be released on Switch. The title is due out later in 2024.

Shadows of the Damned originally released in 2011 and was published by EA. The action adventure title stars demon hunter Garcia Hotspur who goes on a mission to rescue the love of his life.

Grasshopper Direct 2023

Yet another summer gaming presentation has been announced, with Suda51 studio Grasshopper Manufacture announcing Grasshopper Direct 2023. It will air on June 14 at 9 PM PT, which is June 15 at 12 AM ET / 5 AM in the UK / 6 AM in Europe.

Also announced is that the developer is working on Shadows of the Damned Remastered. However, we’ll note that this project hasn’t been confirmed for Switch just yet.

Grasshopper Manufacture is best known for the No More Heroes series. Some of the developer’s other works include The Silver Case, Sine Mora, and Killer 7.

Grasshopper Manufacture is joining NetEase Games under the equity transfer agreement signed on May 31, 2021, the two sides announced today.

While the companies will be working together, NetEase says it will allow Grasshopper to maintain creative freedom, managerial autonomy, and incentives for success where developers can work “in a worry-free environment allowing them to fully focus on creation.”

Speaking about the partnership with NetEase, Grasshopper CEO Goichi Suda (Suda51) said:

no more heroes 3 dlc

No More Heroes 3 doesn’t have any actual DLC planned. However, in a recent interview, director Suda51 spoke about what he would have in mind.

Suda51 brought up three main points while speaking with Siliconera. The first thing he would be interested in adding is an area that was ultimately scrapped from the final game “due to tech reasons”. Suda51 also brought up wanting to do more with the Galactic Superhero Rankers and boss battles. Finally, if he ever had the chance, adding more playable characters like Shinobu would be a top goal.

We’ve included Suda51’s comments about No More Heroes 3 DLC below. Just to stress once again, nothing is actually in the works for now.

no more heroes 3 update 1.0.2

Grasshopper Manufacture has issued a new 1.0.2 update for No More Heroes 3. It comes with some adjustments, a bunch of fixes, improvement in sound data quality, performance optimizations, and more.

We have the full patch notes straight from Grasshopper Manufacture. Continue on below to read more about the 1.0.2 update for No More Heroes 3.

No More Heroes 1.5

It took over a decade, but No More Heroes 1.5 has finally received an English dub.

No More Heroes 1.5, a motion comic, was included with the Hopper’s Edition of No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle in Japan. It was intended to bridge the gap between the series’ first two entries. Suda51 wrote the story, and apparently kept it secret from most Grasshopper Manufacture staffers while it was being created.

no more heroes 1 and 2 switch physical

No More Heroes 1 and 2 previous received physical versions on Switch in the west through Limited Run Games. Now, however, Arc System Works and Marvelous are planning a new release in Asia that will bring the two together.

The new physical version of No More Heroes 1 and 2 for Switch apparently contains both games on a single cartridge. This is in contrast to what we saw with Limited Run Games, as they were individual releases previously.

no more heroes 3 open world

No More Heroes 3 returns to the open world concept introduced with the series’ first entry. In a recent interview, director Suda51 explained about why this feature has come back.

Fans may recall that No More Heroes 2 abandoned the free roaming sections entirely. For No More Heroes 3 though, players now have a sort of open world to explore once again. Suda51 told Gamereactor that he personally missed Santa Destroy, and it was a top request from fans.

Suda51’s full words:

No More Heroes 3 performance frame rate resolution

Digital Foundry published a new analysis video for No More Heroes 3 today, outlining the performance in terms of frame rate and resolution. While there’s a lot to appreciate about the game, it does appear that it has some technical struggles.
