Sound preposterous? Maybe not-perhaps this is a primal fantasy that Suda knows gamers will relate to. Armed with this new weapon, he accepts a gig as a hit man.and later finds himself caught up in an international assassination competition against the world's finest killers. Travis begins the game as an affable everyman who lucks into a killer find via an Internet auction site-his very own beam katana (think: lightsaber). "It's a story of the maturation of a young man, so the narrative should be more understandable for players." So, rather than juggling seven characters, each representing aspects of the protagonist's fractured psyche, here you only have to wrap your head around one hero, the amusingly named Travis Touchdown. "The story of No More Heroes proudly represents the antithesis of Killer 7's," Suda explains.
"I'm not looking to other developers' Wii titles as reference points during the creation of No More Heroes.I think a lot of developers are preparing original software on Wii presently, but at least in Japan, you can't deny the fact that developers are planting the soil on this new platform with unoriginal and entirely boring game concepts." IT'S NOT KILLER 7 ALL OVER AGAINĪlthough we had plenty of respect for Killer 7's wildly creative storyline, its complex web of politics, religion, and insanity left most players thoroughly lost without a clue. It's no accident, and Suda has no shortage of opinions on the state of Wii software. In a sea of insubstantial minigame collections, a meaty single-player adventure seems positively ambitious. No More Heroes stands out among Wii releases by being.well, a real game.
IT'S NOT JUST ANOTHER WII MINIGAME COLLECTION While he doesn't exactly reveal the true nature of the game-play, Suda adamantly explains precisely what his new game isn't. We're still a bit foggy on precisely how all these disparate elements will come together in the final product, so we're going straight to the source-enigmatic No More Heroes Director Goichi Suda-for assistance. This surreal offering blends open-ended, Grand Theft Auto-style missions, frantic Wii-mote swordplay, and bizarre, postmodern humor in distinctive visual trappings that bear a strong resemblance to Grasshopper's divisive cult classic, Killer 7 (PS2/GC).
Rather, No More Heroes differentiates itself by being phenomenally weird. GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE'S upcoming adventure No More Heroes clearly stands apart from the rest of its third-party Wii brethren, and not just because it's neither a spazzy minigame collection nor a last-gen port with tacked-on motion control.
