Suda 51 still wants to make No More Heroes 3 for Wii successor

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 5 Comments

“If there is a chance to continue No More Heroes, I am interested in making NMH3. I personally think that NMH is a game for Wii, so I would be very happy if I could make a game for the Wii’s successor, whenever that might be. I was not involved in the production of the 360 version of NMH1, so I don’t know anything about that.” – Suda 51

I would definitely love to see the No More Heroes franchise continues. Suda 51 introduced some fresh ideas in the last title, so it would be interesting to see what else he has up his sleeves for a third game.

Capcom probably releasing Okamiden outside of Japan

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 2 Comments

Capcom has been rather quiet about the possibility of releasing Okamiden outside of Japan. However, based on a recently discovered trademark, it seems likely. While Capcom has yet to make an official announcement, Okamiden is in fact trademarked in Europe. In the past, after Capcom has filed for a trademark, the company confirmed their localization plans a few weeks later. Hopefully this pattern will continue with Okamiden.
