1UP writes: "First produced for the PlayStation 2 in 2001, Flower, Sun, and Rain (FSR) was Grasshopper Manufacture's second game. Now that the studio and its founder, Goichi Suda, have gained a little more recognition, it's finally been brought to the DS. FSR is the story of Sumio Mondo, a "searcher" -- a sort of jack-of-all-trades for hire. His latest job takes him to the island of Lospass, where the manager of the Flower, Sun, and Rain hotel asks him to stop an impending terrorist attack at the airport. At first, the job seems easy: remote island, classy hotel...just head off the bad guys at the pass and go home. But he's stalled on his way to the airport, and by the end of the day, he sees the plane fly overhead and explode. And then it happens the next day, and the day after, and so on for the span of 18 days."
During a panel at Momocon, Grasshopper Manufacture founder Goichi "Suda51" Suda talked about possible Switch ports of his games.
He should. Although I'd like to see something new from him. Or how about Shadows of the Damned 2?
. It features some of Suda51’s bravest experiments, and though not all of them may prove to be successful, it remains a thoughtful creation thanks to the sheer amount of detail in the world of Lospass Island.
Hardcore Gamer: Goichi Suda, better known as Suda51, has undoubtedly contributed some of the most imaginative video games in the history of the medium. Whether it’s the cerebral thrills of Killer7 or the over-the-top action of No More Heroes, Suda51 has brought the arthouse to games. Although he’s been working for nearly twenty-five years, Suda51 is showing no signs of slowing down and is remastering the classic The Silver Case for release this fall. In celebration of this release, we’ve decided to curate a limited run series dubbed “Summer of Suda,” which will take a look back of some of his most memorable games, evaluating what they contributed at the time of their release and how history looks back at them today. Keep an eye out for exclusive interviews with some of the auteur’s most famed collaborators like Takashi Miyamoto, Masashi Ooka and of course Suda51 himself as they reveal never-before-seen behind-the-scenes info as the series progresses this summer.
