Announced at last years Tokyo Game Show as Codename D, Grasshopper Manufacture were one of 5 Japanese teams revealed to be working on games for Kinect. Although nothing was shown aside from a vague live-action teaser featuring a crazed guy batting off enemies with a flaming baseball bat, many speculated that Codename D was Diabolical Pitch, a name Grasshopper had trademarked.
Today at Tokyo Game Show 2011, Grasshopper have revealed that Codename D is in fact Diabolical Pitch, a bizarre Xbox Live Arcade game for Kinect that sees players fending off monsters with various over the top baseball-inspired attacks. Two players can work together, one throwing the ball for the other to hit. Gestures can trigger special attacks such as fist bumping to power up a fireball, or even lifting your partner off the ground for health support. And of course you can use the bat for melee attacks.
There still isn't any gameplay footage, but there will likely be more media released as the Tokyo Gam...
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
Grasshopper Manufacture, known for its work on No More Heroes and Killer is Dead, is teasing something major for 15 June 2023.
Today Grasshopper Manufacture has launched a teaser website with a countdown hinting that "something's gonna happen" in approximately 71 days.
I know there's no way this would happen but i would love to see a sequel to Killer Is Dead.
This one is not working for me. K-sports is a better party game for those looking for some sports in their Kinect gaming.
