[Update: You guys in the comments are fast! Thanks for the education on the Star Wars Expanded Universe and its long history of lightsaber crossguards. I wonder if that's where Suda got the idea from? I'll ask him next time I see him.] The ...

No More Heroes returns to your life as a free-to-play social mobile game. Something tells me that the unique blend of F2P, social gaming, and the mobile market isn't having NMH lovers jumping for joy. In fact it seems perfectly designed to ...

The weirdest thing happened yesterday. Suda 51, creator of No More Heroes, Lollipop Chainsaw, Killer 7, Shadows of the Damned, and many other strange and wonderful games called me up and said "Hey, let's pretend we're back at PAX East 2012...

King Foom is about to wrap his hands around a mail-order lightsaber, and wrap up this week of "Sudafest". It's Travis Touchdown's turn to take the spotlight in No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise today on Mash Tactics. This is one of those mus...

Japan gets all the good stuff. As of today they're getting a No More Heroes mobile game.  No More Heroes for Mobage was described as a "social assassin battle" at today's Marvelous AQL new title announcement. Andriasang says that ...

Go to any public bathroom stall, and you can expect to find the following examples of vandalism: Violently, worryingly, busted door lock. Piss absolutely everywhere, except for in the toilet. Missing lavatory seat. Mysterious waist-high ho...

When No More Heroes was first released on the Wii back in 2008, I'd never played anything quite like it, and that was a good thing. In fact, Anthony Burch and I thought it was a great thing, and plenty of other gamers seemed to agree. That ...

[Update: As a few people pointed out in the comments, this is most likely art for Snatcher veteran Jean Jack Gibson, and not Gideon Seed. Thanks guys!] Sdatcher (pronounced Su-da-a-cha by some) is the recently announced (and long hinted at)...

When No More Heroes: Red Zone comes to the PlayStation 3, it's going to bring something extra for the perpetual masturbators of the gaming population. "Viewer Mode" (which we briefly heard about before) allows you to get a close look at the...

Missed the first installments?  Here's part one and part two. Like everything Suda51 does, his answers here are open to interpretation. I basically ask the guy if he's going to break my heart and change his plan to bring No More Heroe...

In part two of our talk with Suda51, we discuss Shadows of the Damned, and what makes it different from his other games. There is a lot of stuff here that even the most die hard Suda fan probably isn't aware of. For instance, did you know ...

Please forgive my extreme excitement and nervousness in this interview series. Suda51 is one of my all-time favorite game developers. I had some trouble staying sane while talking to him, but hopefully I pulled it off. I knew that eventual...

I was lucky to talk to a lot of great developers at E3 this year, but only one of them was kind enough to rub his dreadlocks on me. That was Konami's Tak Fuji, the man best known for talking about one-million troops at last year's Konam...

We recently told you that the upcoming Japanese release No More Heroes: Red Zone has something called a "Forbidden View Mode" that lets you look at characters witha free-moving camera. Perv cam, it sounds like.  Maybe we're getting som...

PS3 game No More Heroes Red Zone has had little in the way of screenshots or video since we first heard about it. We did get some nice boxart awhile back, but it's been pretty quiet since then. I know that four screenshots isn't much, but I...
