For those who like a little punk in their games, Goichi Suda, aka SUDA51, should ring a bell as the creative mind behind both the popular Killer 7 on the Gamecube and the exceptionally awesome No More Heroes on the Wii. Rising Star Games has announced that they will be shipping his latest offering, Flower, Sun and Rain, on the DS throughout Europe in October 2008.

Rising Star Games had this to say:

Flower, Sun and Rain is an intriguing mystery adventure very much in the vein of Groundhog Day. You play a detective charged with locating and defusing a bomb by solving thought-provoking puzzles with a wealth of bizarre outcomes. Solving the mystery of what is happening to him and his surroundings is necessary before he eventually goes insane.Originally released on the Sony PlayStation®2, Flower, Sun and Rain was never available outside of Japan and has been high on wish lists of every Suda51 fan since Killer7 was unleashed on the western market in 2005. This updated Nintendo DS version features all the creative quirks that made the original a hit and uniquely utilises the touch screen to solve mysteries, offering players a more intimate experience.

SUDA51 also said “It’s great news that European gamers are getting to play Flower, Sun and Rain. All of my creative work involves a touch of the bizarre and unexpected and this game is no different!”

While SUDA51 only has a few games under his belt, his following is massive with games such as MadWorld Clearly drawing inspiration from his previous games style and flair. Personally, Flower, Sun and Rain will be one of the top on my DS ‘do want’ list for the end of this year, in the mean time we’ll have to make do with these shots.
