No More Heroes III announced for Nintendo Switch (2020, Suda51 Directing, Marvelous x Grasshopper)
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
I suspect it's going to be a similar deal to TSA, Octopath Traveller and (presumably) Daemon x Machina in that Nintendo gets timed exclusivity in exchange for distribution, promotion and (presumably) localisation help.
So, in an interview with GameReactor, Suda51 seemed really interested on bringing NMH 1+2 and Switch, he also talks about meeting with Marvelous at E3 to ask for it:
""if it's the sort of thing that everybody wants, who's to say that it wouldn't happen. It just happens that Marvelous is here at E3 as well and we've got a meeting with them, so I'm definitelly going to bring that up and see what I can do. Is it really something everybody wants? If it's the kind of thing everybody is looking forward to, then I'm pretty confident that we can make something happen somehow"
Also, it seems they're done with the prototype for NMH3 and now are just working on creating content for the game. About the game being exclusive: "for now, it will be Switch-only, for the moment". Are they doing the same they did with TSA: NMH?
There's more info in the full interview here:

So I've seen a couple of supposedly NMH3 concept art online but I can't find any source for them. They're not on the E3 presskit either. I wonder where did people got them ?
Are they also planning on bringing out HD remasters of the first 2 NMH games? I never played the series so would love to play the first 2 in an updated fashion on Switch
Suda has been adamant about wanting them remastered and has been talking to Marvelous about them. The ball is in their court.
Hopefully they agree to release them, always wanted to give this series a shot and having all 3 on Switch would be perfect.
I believe they're from the Destructoid article posted above. The Santa Destroy concept art looks great, pretty much how I imagined it would end up looking like after the Utopinia teases in TSA. Also I wonder whether that manor is supposed to be Sylvia's that we visited, or something else.So I've seen a couple of supposedly NMH3 concept art online but I can't find any source for them.

Um. Not to be pessimistic or anything, but with so many aspects of this game undetermined, how can this possibly make a 2020 release date? I get that they probably have a combat engine in place already, but without any of the game's story or overall structure being determined, I fail to see how we will get this game earlier than 2021. These things don't just happen overnight usually.
OP
OP
I'm honestly expecting the game to get delayed all things considered but hey, maybe Grasshopper will surprise us.
I just have worked on games that have been completely playable from start to finish like a year before release and they still needed every minute of dev time they got up to launch. Feels weird to me unless this game is planned to be smaller in scale than the first two.
It's weird, given that Nintendo is distributing this, which probably means a simultaneous worldwide launch (as that's been extremely effective for them this generation). This, in turn, means the game has to be in a near-final state well before release to allow time for localisation.
What I'm saying is that I agree that the 2020 date seems very optimistic, I'm going to put my chips on a delay to Q2 2021.
I mean, it could wind up as the usual GHM project and have all of those things and still hit its release date: just not in the best quality that those elements may have been in the hands of another developer.
...which I fully expect is going to happen anyway, because that's how they roll.

This would be almost a 2 years dev time at most if it's holiday 2020, Desperate Struggle had a similar development time.
This might be over-confidence from them but it could potentially happen. Then again, it's not going to be a beautiful game nor it is going to be the next Bayonetta too so maybe Suda knows what he is going to aim for

Don't know if there's another thread for this, put Polygon just put up a Suda interview:
Most worryingly for me, as of E3, the game barely exists beyond foundations. 2020 seems very close.
