Suda51 was in strangely restrained form for his latest interview with Edge, by which I mean no elaborate toilet-related metaphors. Still, he said some interesting things about the different versions of No More Heroes and the role of blood in action gaming.
In the action part of the game, the moment when Travis finishes his adversaries is quite bloody in the American version. Was that always OK with Nintendo?
Indeed it was. But its an important point that the game is different in different territories. The Japanese and European versions have no blood and you simply kill those enemies. The US version is the closest to my initial vision of the game. The issue of having blood spilt is an interesting one. Todays technology makes a very realistic visual experience possible, so does that mean blood has to be sprayed all around? Im not sure. There is, in terms of videogames, almost a natural absence of blood: you kill an enemy and thats all.
