No More Heroes creator and Grasshopper Manufacture CEO Goichi Suda (aka Suda51) recently discussed what it's like developing for Nintendo Switch, saying "it's extremely easy to work with Nintendo."
On the latest episode of IGN's weekly show Up At Noon, Suda noted that Switch is "especially good for the developers," thanks to an environment that makes it easy to bring content to the platform.
With regard his plans for Nintendo's upcoming console, including the recently-announced return of No More Heroes' protagonist Travis Touchdown, Suda said he's hoping "a lot of characters will come back" to make an appearance on Switch.
The first two No More Heroes games were developed for Wii and made use of the Wii Remote in some unique ways. As such, Suda said he's thinking about how to make interesting use of the Switch's Joy-Cons for the series' next installment.
Suda shared his thoughts on Nintendo Switch's array of different features, saying the HD rumble system in the Joy-Cons is "incredible for developers." He also spoke to the portability aspect of the console, noting that while "being able to take your game and your save anywhere is an awesome thing," it's not clear to him right now whether or not that is necessarily the direction the industry is heading.
He also highlighted the device's touchscreen, which he thinks will be the "defining feature" of the console. Suda noted that while iPads and other smart devices have similar displays, Nintendo Switch also offers additional input options, which he believes will make it more accommodating to younger players.
As far as virtual reality is concerned, Suda said he is "of course" interested in developing a VR game, noting that "right now this is the cutting edge of video game development technology, and to not make use of that would be a loss."
Suda's most recent games include the free-to-play action title Let It Die, which released last year for PS4, as well as a remake of Grasshopper's debut title, The Silver Case, which launched last year for PC and comes to PS4 this April.
