There seems to be some sort of inextricable link between No More Heroes and toilets. Previously, it was revealed that we'd all be saving our progress in the game by perching on the john. Then there was that novelty No More Heroes themed toilet paper that was handed out at the game's launch party in Japan, and which director Goichi Suda would later give away on the streets of Akihibara.Now, Suda has told Eurogamer that the creative process behind the game was comparable to ... pinching a loaf. You know: making a deposit at the Porcelain Bank. Taking the Browns to the Super Bowl. Defecating. We're struggling, so we'll let Suda take us from here: "When you take a shit, everything you've consumed is all mixed together, there are all sorts of things in that -- and that's the same kind of idea, I think."
That's ... charming.

As much as I want this game, I just don't think it is good marketing to be calling your game a piece of shit.

I love this guy. In an era where most game devs are paralysed by the idea of taking a risk, and who pump out sequels like there's no tomorrow (Mario, I love ya, but I'm looking at you), Suda 51 comes along and brings us something that's unique. Good for him!

Couldn't have worded it better myself. This guy is amazing though! He's so creative, and has the balls to take a risk by creating something new and interesting. This game looks very interesting.

What a great quote. I may check out this game based purely on that. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to drop the kids off at the pool.

The creative process was basically shit based, the in-game saving is shit related and the games censorship is COMPLETE SHIT. Lets hope the game isn't itself... you know... shit...

though his analogy makes sense to me... i would've, i dunno... not used it?!?
i'd have used "piñata" or "my mom's chinese rice" but they don't sound as Suda51 as we would expect. in any case, i think this game is as far away from defecation as a game can get and i simply can't wait to [insert verb here, but don't go too crazy] it!
