Suda51 developing a new shmup, Sine Mora

[Guild McCommunist]

The irrepressible Suda51 and his Grasshopper studio will co-develop a new PSN and XBLA game called Sine Mora. Their partner is veteran Hungarian developer Digital Reality.

Sine Mora (literally "without delay" in Latin) will be a side-scrolling shooter with time manipulation mechanics. Further details, as well as a date and price, are unknown.

The brief press release states this will be the first in a "range of games" made by the pair.

Grasshopper's recent work includes the acclaimed No More Heroes series of games: No More Heroes on Wii, No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle and No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Eurogamer's Ellie Gibson confronted "rock star developer" Suda51 earlier this year. When Ellie Met Suda can be found elsewhere on the site.

If it's anything like Suda51 and the Grasshopper team's other works, expect this to be wacky. But seeing Grasshopper's other works this would easily be a day one purchase for me.

Damn PSN and XBLA.

Me wants decent shmup for DS or Wii :]

If only I knew Ni No Kuni would get a western release, I'd buy a PS3 already. Meh.

Coolness. I'm glad they're exploring the boundaries of other consoles after sticking to the Wii for so long. They're probably ecstatic to be working on some different systems.

Actually, a better translation would be 'without hesitation', though I suppose 'delay' fits better with the purpose of the game.

Sounds pretty cool to me, and seeing that it's being developed by Suda51, I'll definitely try it out (that is, if I can find someone in my vicinity with a PS3).

There are a few on the Wii, they just never get much attention because its A. a "hardcore" game genre, and B. the genre never really recovered after the 3D generation

Sounds groovy! Finally some news worth reading.
