Goichi Suda, or Suda51 to others, revealed in an interview that Grasshopper Manufacture is indeed working on an action game for Microsoft's Xbox 360, as stated during the TGS 2007. The 360 video game should emerge after No More Heroes for the Nintendo Wii hits shelves, and we'll find out if plans to go multiplatform with the title will materialize.

Tecmo announced Suda51's crew as the guys in charge of Fatal Frame 4 for Nintendo's console, but another project is also in the works. The 360 title will be an action game at heart, but adventure elements will be present according to Suda.

Speaking of No More Heroes, Suda51 mentioned how earlier action games on the Nintendo Wii have failed to make full use of motion sensing controls. His team aims to break the tradition with their GTA-esque title, as Suda51 believes Grasshopper Manufacture is close to finding the best way of using Wii controls.

He goes on to talk about developing games for a western audience before putting the Japanese in mind, Nintendo's image barring most action games from appearing on the Wii, and more of his ideas in the video interview below.

TGS 2007: No More Heroes' Suda 51 to create games for the Xbox 360 - Image 1If you own a 360 and are clamoring for more games similar to Goichi Suda's (or Suda 51) Killer 7 or No More Heroes, here's some good news for you: Grasshopper Studios is working on a game for Microsoft's Xbox 360.

Suda 51 didn't say anything much about this upcoming 360 title, not even what its about, but he confirmed that it's going to be a full game and is not an Xbox Live Arcade download. At least we're assured that it's going to be a full masterpiece.

How about No More... Killer7s, then? Suda 51's latest title for the Wii, as we have reported before, will be out soon in Japan and is slated for a February 2008 release in North America. You can count on us to keep you guys posted once we get more information about Suda 51's upcoming game. Till then, more updates to come!

A screenie of Kojima's Snatcher - Image 11UP's Yoshi Sato reports that in the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu, Goichi Suda, more famously known as Suda 51, president of Grasshopper Manufacture, revealed that the mysterious Project S that he and Hideo Kojima are working on will be a series of projects based on Hideo Kojima's classic adventure game Snatcher.

Ah, so that's why it's "S."

The first project will be a radio drama written by Suda 51. Interestingly, Suda 51 will also be one of the drama's voice actors. He comments that he can't talk about the details surrounding the project at the moment (as expected) but he does say that he thinks he will call it Snatchers. Ah, plural means sequel, yes?

Still no info on what other formats that projects in Project S will take, but given the names attached to the project we all hope that a videogame is included among them.

Shinji Mikami - Image 1Speaking to Japanese gaming news entity, Famitsu, Shinji Mikami, made popular due to his creative influence over hits like Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, and Devil May Cry, admitted that he has started actual development on possible multiple game projects. However, it was said that we shouldn't expect anything from him until after 2008.

IGN reports that Mikami is continuing work with Grasshopper Interactive's Suda 51, the one responsible for the upcoming No More Heroes on the Wii, and Mikami expects to be able to show something to gamers this coming summer.

Mikami notes that unlike old-school developers who have moved on to the production side of games, he plans to mainly be a game director - although he has already had experience being a producer.

Mikami is currently an external board member of SEEDS, an Osaka development company formed by a group of former developers from Capcom, and in general his future titles will carry the SEEDS branding. His games will be published by an actual publisher - not necessarily Capcom. The game creator has formed a private development studio last year, prior to the fading of Clover Studios, called Straight Story.
