Killer 7 and No More Heroes creator Goichi Suda (SUDA51) confirms that he will develop for the Nintendo Switch’s Successor.
In an interview with the VGC, he talked about the cultural differences in games and traveling, feeling at ease under NetEase, and the successor of the Nintendo Switch. Here is what he thinks regarding Nintendo’s next console.
“Just like everyone else, I have no idea what’s coming up. But I’m really looking forward to seeing what they come up with as both a gamer and as a developer.
The Switch is a really successful and all-around great platform so I’d be hard pressed to try to find parts of it that aren’t “good enough”, and it’s done did great things for indie games in particular. I think the Switch is awesome not only for players of all types but for developers of all types as well, especially indie developers.
Even now, I still think it’s an amazing platform. I don’t have anything in particular that I can think of as far as new features I want to see in the next-gen iteration of it are concerned, but I’m really looking forward to seeing what Nintendo does with it. They’ve always done revolutionary stuff for software and the video game industry in general.
I’m super excited for the next console, especially since we’re definitely gonna cook for it.”
Grasshopper Manufacture and Suda51 was one of the developers in the first direct showcase for the Nintendo Switch in 2017. He teased the next No More Heroes project, later revealed as No More Heroes 3. He is currently working on the remaster for Shadows of the Damned. As to what he will develop for Switch’s successor is anyone’s guess. Another entry for No More Heroes? A Killer is Dead sequel? A new addition to his Sudaverse? Who can say? Will it be good? Maybe. Will it be unique? Definitely.
