NWR writes: "Flower, Sun, and Rain is a 2001 PlayStation 2 game from infamous developer, Goichi Suda, otherwise known as Suda51. The title was recently downported to the DS and released in America, a region the game had never been released in prior. Like most of Suda's other work, the game is out there, featuring weird characters, a bizarre storyline, and extremely unconventional gameplay. In most cases this style has paid off well for Suda and his studio,Grasshopper Manufacture; unfortunately, Flower, Sun, and Rain falls flat. Tedious gameplay, obscure puzzles, and awful presentation are only a few of the game's shortcomings."
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.
