Grasshopper Manufacture has lost two powerful developers. Yasuhiro Wada and Yoshiro Kimura, the creators of the Harvest Moon and Little King’s Story respectively, were hired last year by Grasshopper head Giochi Suda to help with their newly released No More Heroes on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Now, a year later, both have left Grasshopper Manufacture. Kimura intended initially to retire from game creation a year ago, and Suda convinced him, as well as Wada, to join Grasshopper Manufacture to create a vast amount of high-selling games.
Details of the turnover haven’t been specific, and their involvement with any present projects is unclear.
