No plans for No More Heroes 3

[luke_c]

A portion of a C3 interview with Suda51...

C3: Do you have a large storyline planned in your head for Travis alone, or would you eventually consider making a No More Heroes game that focuses on a different character?

Goichi Suda, CEO of Grasshopper Manufacture: Unfortunately, the story for Travis alone is completed in No More Heroes 2. I am very curious about his life after this; however, we have no plan for No More Heroes 3.

C3: Do you want to make a MotionPlus Wii game in the future?

GS: If there is a chance in the future, I would like to try.

C3: With the first NMH coming to PS3 and Xbox 360, will it be long before Desperate Struggle loses its Wii exclusivity as well?

GS: I’ve heard that NMH2 is Wii-exclusive at this present stage. I personally think that this game should remain Wii-exclusive, but unfortunately Grasshopper doesn’t have the right to decide this.

C3: Would you ever consider doing a scaled-down version of No More Heroes on DS?

GS: I’ve never thought about that, but this is an interesting suggestion.

C3: With ‘Grasshopper’ and’Suda51’ becoming so popular now, do you want to see killer7 re-released or re-made?

GS: killer7? killer7 is a very very important game for me. The creative challenge of both the team at Grasshopper and me is packed into the game. killer7 is the part of my soul. A remake? No, but if I get the opportunity, I am certainly interested in making a new killer7.

Shame about No No More Heroes 3 but it's best to leave it on a high than milk it out and make people lose interest.

No More Heroes DS is a very interesting idea, would love to see how that would work, it would have to be immensely scaled down, but it's still very intriguing.

*2 months later*

Suda Goichi: We're proud to announce that we're gonna bring No More Heroes DS to the PSP console and iPhone.

No More Heroes on the 3DS sounds more promising than on the DS.
The DS would only be able to play the mini games XD

 

[DeMoN]

Yeah I think it's too late to start brainstorming games for the DS. Unless it's already in development, new games should be limited to the 3DS.
Fortunately this would mean nobody can pirate it, then Grasshopper actually gets the money it deserves.

 

[EnigmaXtreme]

Funny, cause it says in gameInformer's "BiteSize" column;

"No More Heroes 3 is coming"

 

[iamthemilkman]

"We have no plans for this or that" usually doesn't mean too much, tbh. They just have to wait for the green light from the publisher to announce anything.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Suda51 has already said a bunch of times that NMH2 is the last game for Travis Touchdown and the last game in the main series. Not to say there won't be another NMH game starring Shinobu or Henry Touchdown or another assassin.

Not sure how NMH DS would work out. I'd rather keep it on consoles.

 

[Overlord Nadrian]

Didn't he say the same thing when he was asked if there would be a No More Heroes 2?

 

[azure0wind]

Wow, i hope they made NMH for DS. The title should be; "No More Heroes: Double Slayer" LOL

 

[BlueStar]

Good, it's better to make handheld games from the ground up, bearing in mind the strengths and weaknesses of the platform all the way through rather than trying to shoe-horn a home console game onto it.

Killer7 for 3DS

 

[raybattousai]

Umm he said awhile ago that NMH2 would be the last game where Travis is the main character. He also said It would be the last NMH game for the Wii, but there would be another for the next nintendo console

 

[HaniKazmi]

I loved NMH, but found 2 quite disappointing. I think its for the best if the third game doesnt involve travis.

 

[Hop2089]

No NMH3 that's a shame however this may present 2 different opportunities

-A 3DS NMH would be good taking advantage of the 3D and any other extra elements of the system.

-Bizarre Jelly 5 an actual anime (full TV series, OVA, or both), I would love how that will turn out and besides there's a need for more mahou shoujo anime.

 

[BORTZ]

I enjoyed the first 2 immensely but im glad hes cutting it off.

 

[shakirmoledina]

lol i better try this game quickly but a DS version would be much better for me... controls would be an issue but since the wii versions have done so well, i dont expect less from the DS
