Goichi Suda (aka Suda51) just delivered his biggest game in years in No More Heroes III, but the iconoclastic creator isn’t done yet. During a recent Q&A with IGN Japan, Suda revealed that he and his studio Grasshopper Manufacture have plenty in the works, and that he’d love to work on a Marvel franchise, provided Disney had the guts to let him (thanks to Ishaan Sahdev for the following transcription).
Come on Disney, let it happen. I mean, a Deadpool game could essentially be No More Heroes with a Marvel skin, so we know Suda could do it. Speaking of No More Heroes, what’s in the future for that series? Suda has hinted this may be the last game, but the game itself hints otherwise. Suda clarified what’s actually going on…
We also of course have other plans, and we’re working hard on them […] to bring [them] to fruition. But thinking about things I’d love to do, I’d love to work with Marvel, like on a Shatterstar or Deadpool [project] – or something very Grasshopper-ey like that. Maybe a Quicksilver title of some sort. So, Marvel.
In the meantime, No More Heroes III is definitely worth checking out. It’s a big, ambitious mess of a game, but I found its good parts more than made up for its faults in my full review…
For No More Heroes III, Marvelous was extremely cooperative and they basically gave Grasshopper the IP to work with for five years, and just said, “Go for it. Do whatever you want. You have creative freedom.” And first of all, we’re really thankful for that opportunity to revisit this series that we love and do whatever we want with it. And whether or not there will be another title in the No More Heroes series, I can’t say yes and I can’t say no. The IP has returned to Marvelous, so nobody knows what’s going to happen, but that’s all I can really say.
No More Heroes III is available now on Nintendo Switch.
