Japanese designer, Goichi Suda – perhaps better known as Suda51 – has suggested that an extended version of his cult classic Killer7 could eventually release for consoles.
Grasshopper’s visually-striking action adventure game was originally released for Nintendo GameCube in 2005. Capcom holds publishing rights for the title, but Suda-san – speaking exclusively to Nintendo Life –says the company’s producer has “promised” to one day collaborate on an extended version of the game:
I had a very interesting conversation recently with the producer at Capcom, [Hiroyuki] Kobayashi-san and we promised each other that we will make a completed version of Killer7 in the future. Only one third of my original script was used for the game, so there was 60% not used at all.
So the complete version will cover all of my script. It’s not 100% going to happen of course, but maybe in the future we’ll be able to deliver the complete version of Killer7. I’ll do it before I retire!
Killer7 was remastered for PC last year, but modern consoles are yet to experience the same love from publisher Capcom – despite its creator saying he'd love to bring it to Switch.
Suda again stressed that any potential console port is firmly down to Capcom, but added:
I want to be involved in the process. It may take a bit of time, but it’s definitely one of my goals.
Do you remember playing this on GameCube? Would you be interested in a port for Nintendo Switch? Let us know in the comments below.

60% never used? that's like a whole new game, i hope it does get used one day.
I am sooooooooo ready for this!!!!!!
Love killer 7 I recently played through the original but would definitely buy for switch and it is one of the most memorable games ever also killer is dead awesome games
I do remember playing it over and over again. I still have the two disc set. I remember playing at the right time when I was into weird anime cartoons. I am extremely jealous of the pc gamers around the world that get to play the remaster version. I am also still mad at capcom because I know they will put a switch tax on the game when/if it comes to consoles. It is because of this I still have not pre-ordered RE4 because of the fat old rich suits wanting my money.
I've never played this game but I've heard time and again about how revolutionary it is, so I'd love to give it a shot, especially in a complete version on Switch.
However, being a writer myself, I know that writing is often cut from a project for a good reason, so a "complete" script may not actually be as good as it sounds in the end.
I just started playing it on ps2 . It’s an interesting game with confusing controls I am yet to get used to
I loved it when I played it! Weirdly enough, the next day my dad bought it for me, I was diagnosed with chickenpox! I have to say, that one was the most surreal and painful Christmas ever, but I got so engaged with the game, it helped me getting through the pain.
Never played the game so if they port it over I would definitely get it on Switch.
Suda51's best, IMO. Been dying for this! Can't wait!
That game was weird... but what an experience. I really couldn’t quite work it out.
Would love to play the GameCube version or the complete edition one day
so Killer 7 will be the last game suda51 will port? but..wheres The Silver Case and the Moonlight Syndrome games for the SWITCH?
Aaaaand now I have to wash my pants.
I'll settle for just the remaster as is. I love the GCN original and would really love to replay the game.
If they can't get the game done, I would love to see Udon get publishing rights and put out a graphic novel series to get the story out.
Capcom collaborate alot with Udon, so I know it would be in good hands.
Thats only ~93.3%
This is great news. Loved the original and its soundtrack.
I got the PC version on sale. Never downloaded it - just wanted to have it.
Im good... Never buying the original again. Now im up for an expansion or something new.
Oh good! I was planning to buy the Gamecube version on Ebay, but now I don't have to! As a Suda fan, I always wanted to play this game.
Hope Capcom does the right thing and just let him bring us the game. It's not like they had anything to lose.
It's Capcom. 40% on the cartridge, 60% download.
I played through this again recently on GCN... It's really brilliant. Divisive as hell, but unique and really ahead of its time.
So basically, a Director's Cut. Cool.
Even just a port of this masterpiece (that I still have on Gamecube anyway) would be a guaranteed day one double dip. But an extended director's cut for the Switch, that has over twice as much content? I'd finance the entire project as a gift to the creators and fans, if it were within my limited financial power (without taking away from my partner and sheltered animal family).
I remember playing this game and thinking, "woah, this game is amazing". That's kind of all I remember about it, though. To be fair, 2005 was like, what, thirty years ago, right?? Either than or I've just played a lot of games and done other things in my life since then.
Would make for a neat PSVR game for sure
@ilikeike killer7 DX could end up like Sonic Adventure DX... Worse!
