Suda51 Finally Giving Flower, Sun and Rain to the Rest of the Globe

This autumn, the long-awaited release of Flower, Sun and Rain for the Nintendo DS will be making its way to North America and Europe.

Written and directed by the infamous games creator Suda51, this Nintendo DS exclusive is the first chance western gamers have had to experience one of their earliest creations and offers an insight into the evolution of his unique style reminiscent of Killer7 and No More Heroes.

Flower, Sun and Rain is a 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 PS2, 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 quirks that made the original a hit and uniquely utilizes the touch screen to solve mysteries, offering players a more intimate experience.

No set release date has been given at this point, other than it is coming in the Fall, so check back with us often. A trailer for the game is expected to hit on Monday, August 3rd, and you can bet we will have it here on Gaming Today.
