No More Heroes Comes to the Nintendo Switch, Gets Lost in Translation
In the last third of the Nintendo Switch conference, Grasshopper’s Suda51 stepped on stage to speak. Older gamers may know him best as the man behind games like Killer7, Shadow of the Damned, and more importantly, No More Heroes. During his bit, Suda revealed that No More Heroes 3 was in development, but they had yet to decide on the title. He also went into a little bit about another game he’s working on that he hopes will be good for indie developers. That all sounds pretty cool, right? Well, it would’ve sounded cool if you actually knew what was being said.
Whether by fault of Suda or the translator, the latter just couldn’t keep up with what the famed designer was saying. The translator would just be very silent while Suda was speaking, like he was trying to catch his breath, and that certainly didn’t help. There was a very brief moment where the translator was only a few seconds behind Suda, but then he just lost the plot and it got to the point where he was still talking, even as Suda was walking off the stage. Talk about awkward.
