Suda51 says No More Heroes 4 is probably about ten years away, interested in a Shinobu spinoff
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The wait between No More Heroes 1 and 2 wasn’t very long, as the sequel followed just a couple of years after the first game. However, the same can’t be said of the series’ latest entry. After we saw No More Heroes 2 in 2010, it’s taken over a decade to get No More Heroes 3. We may be in for a similar wait for a theoretical fourth game.
In an interview with GameXplain, director Suda51 said that No More Heroes 4 “would probably be in about 10 years or so, both in real life and in the game’s time.” He also has a potential idea in mind in which “Travis would go up against a super hardcore enemy up north who is basically the No More Heroes version of Drago from Rocky IV.”
Suda51’s full words:

Thankfully, classic Sonic is still being considered for SEGA’s future. Series producer Takash Iizuka told Retro Gamer in a recent interview:

At the very end of June, Nintendo pursued a permanent injunction against pirate site RomUniverse. A judge has now granted that request. RomUniverse’s owner Matthew Storman is prohibited from copying, distributing, selling, and playing unauthorized copies of Nintendo titles. Nintendo’s trademarks, logo’s, and names cannot be used in a “confusing” manner as well.
The judge has actually gone one step further, as Storman must destroy all pirated Nintendo games that he may still have in his possession.
The judge’s order states:

Charles Martinet has long been associated as the voice of Mario. However, he’s not the only one to have played the character. Walker Boone voiced the famous plumber in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World, two animated shows that aired during the early ’90s.
Sadly, Walker has passed away. His death actually occurred towards the beginning of the year, but it seems as though the news went largely unnoticed until today.
