Suda 51's first games as part of Grasshopper Manufacture are being remade for the DS. The games, called The Silver Case and The Silver Case Ward 25, were originally released for the Playstation and mobile phones, respectively. Suda revealed this fact during his GDC keynote "Punk's Not Dead".
Both are graphical text adventures; Ward 25 uses static art and the original Silver Case uses full-motion video. Unfortunately, because of the amount of text that would have to be translated, Suda isn't sure the remakes will be released outside Japan. Someone tell him that American DS players love graphical text adventures! And tell him that we <3 Grasshopper Manufacture too.

ewww... Why Link to the abysmal licensed game *precious translated "Anime" game* Samurai Champloo, and not the best (as far as being non-traditional Castlevania affair) Nintendo DS game arround, Contact?

I didn't think Samurai Champloo was that abysmal. It was much more of a bizarre Suda game than it was a licensed anime game. I mean, the enemies were pretty much the same guys from Killer 7.
Good call on Contact, though. WAY TO GO DS FANBOY BLOGGER-- FORGET THE DS GAME
