Grasshopper Manufacture (Suda51, No More Heroes) now lists Nintendo Co., Ltd. as "major client", among other big changes

[Playstation Tablet 1,772]

TLDR, they're short on cash, downsizing, and praying someone steps in and funds them.

Doesn't seem like NMH3 has a willing publisher or funding at this point. It's merely a concept.

Nintendo should just make them a 2nd party Dev and give them proper funding

They haven't made anything worthwhile all gen. Time to pull the plug on these hack frauds.

They are just better of going to kickstarter at this point, no one will fund the budget for a 3D action game. Nintendo will skip them. Just watch and so will everyone else.

They've been doing cool remasters and Killer 7 is on the way. Safe to assume other stuff is after. So it's all cool.

I hope it turns out to be something fruitful.  Suda51 makes some of the most unique and interesting games, and I'd hate for the industry to lose that.  I'd rather MS buy Grasshopper than lose Suda, no lie.

nintendo will probably step in and acquire the NMH property, hopefully the whole studio actually. trust nintendo, if the fans ask, we shall recieve, they actually give a shit.

 

fingers crossed.

NMH feels more like a series that exists because of Suda51's passion for it more so than Nintendo's willingness to invest in it.  I always felt it was along the lines of Eternal Darkness, Viewtiful Joe, or Killer 7 as an experimental game that has its roots with Nintendo, but Nintendo doesn't really want to pony up the cash to make them bigger and better.

I'd like Nintendo to save Grasshopper if no publisher is going to work with them.

 

They should go on Kickstarter, they can easily raise a million or two, then get a publisher to help with the funding. I have no idea why they aren't trying.
