What’s up, hedgehogs and werehogs! That’s right, it’s time to talk about Sonic… but first we kick things off with info on our giveaway for Hob: The Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch!
In this episode of NEP, we dish out our opinions on the first trailer for the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, and the director’s response that it’s going to be fixed in such a short amount of time. This leads us to talk about industry crunch, along with CG artists’ and 3D animators’ responses to this situation. We then talk all the weekly news, including Forza Street, Bloodstained and more. We finish things off with talking about Epic Games purchasing Psyonix, creators of Rocket League, and general discussions of the Epic Store and what the controversy is there. Oni learned something, so we hope you do, too! Galen then has an existential crisis for good measure as we go over our listener mail!
As ever, we would appreciate your help in growing the show by sharing the podcast with a friend and rating us on your listening platform of choice, such as iTunes!
Thanks for listening!

Suda51 says No More Heroes 3 likely won’t happen if Travis Strikes Again doesn’t sell, so he’s determined to make it a success

The No More Heroes series finally returns in January with Travis Strikes Again. However, fans are also curious about the next true entry in the series – No More Heroes 3.
We’ve heard Suda51 speak about No More Heroes 3 ever since Travis Strikes Again was announced. And in an interview with Kotaku UK, he once again touched on the topic.
Suda51 again talks about a possible Killer7 port on Switch, says it’s up to Capcom

Suda51 is currently busy promoting the upcoming Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, which will launch next month on Nintendo Switch. In a recent interview with Fandom Wikia, he was also asked about one of his previous games: Killer7, and whether or not there’s a chance for a Switch version of it. Here’s his response:
“I’d love to bring Killer7 to Switch. However, Capcom owns 100% of the rights to that game, it’s really thanks to them that the PC version came out at all just because they OK’d it and a publisher came along to help distribute it, which is really great. But I’d have to talk to them again to see if it’s possible to get the ball rolling on Switch. The thing about Killer 7 is that it really was a sudden release, we weren’t able to do much promotion for it before it came out, so I really feel like I have a duty to make sure that people are even aware that it exists.”
This isn’t the first time Suda51 talked about a possible Killer7 release on Nintendo Switch. Back in September, he said that strong sales of the recent Steam release of the game could lead to a Switch version.
Travis Strikes Again wasn’t originally going to be set in the No More Heroes universe

Travis Strikes Again is a part of the No More Heroes Universe, but that wasn’t always the case. It was when the Switch was originally unveiled that director Suda51 felt the hardware would match up well with the character. After this, the storyline was tweaked to focus on Travis and drum up excitement for No More Heroes 3.
Suda51 has also revealed that “the core team [at first] was only five people.” Since then, it has grown to 15 during development. The small team size has helped Suda51 build a stronger core for future project and work with younger staffers whereas he didn’t speak to them directly on previous titles.
