Suda 51′s New Game, Heroes

Spike’s and Suda 51 are teaming to create Heroes.  A first look at the trailer and details inside: 

The Wiire received the first look at Heroes for the Nintendo Wii this morning, including a downloadable video for our readers, along with information regarding launch.

According to Chami Hentona, PA to CEO at Spike Co. Ltd in Japan, Heroes is currently in the works with Marvelous Interactive and Grasshopper Manufacturer.

Previously, The Wiire spoke exclusively to Goichi Suda and Nobuhiko Nakamura from Grasshopper Manufacturer in a sit-down interview at E3 2006 in Los Angeles. Grasshopper planned to unveil Heroes to the world at the event but was unable to launch the footage as planned.

The Wiire recently came in contact with Hentona regarding the video, and we received a whopping 600MB zip file containing the footage planned to be shown at E3 2006, uncompressed to be an 846MB AVI file lasting 3 minutes and 45 seconds. The Wiire presents the first footage of Heroes.

The MPEG-4 compressed format of the file can be found here.

Please use the torrent download if possible to preserve The Wiire’s bandwidth. Also, please remind all the other sites nabbing our video that it’s wrong to steal.

Though Nakamura and Suda were unsure when the screens, video and other details about the game would be unveiled, the prediction came to be summer of this year. “Unfortunately,” said Hentona, “we are not currently planning on updating the trailer until November/December timeframe.”

“Our current plan to release any information including the screenshots and trailers for the media/market (worldwide) is sometimes around [the] November/December time frame,” Hentona added. “We will have our new trailer ready by then as well.”

As of right now, the game is planned for release in both Japan and overseas in summer 2007. The Wiire will continue to bring you exclusive reports on Heroes as they become available.
