Lollipop Chainsaw Release Information And Screenshots

Clearly all we’ve ever wanted is a game where you play as a cheerleader that constantly goes around flashing her panties while using what looks to be an enchanted chainsaw to tear through hordes of the living dead. Yup. I really have no idea where some Japanese developers come up with their game ideas either.

That being said this one IS being developed by Goichi Suda who made a pretty awesome game called No More Heroes is developing this game where you play as an 18 year old cheerleader who is using a chainsaw to clear her school of zombies.

While there is no immediate release date (it’s not even out in Japan yet) they do have feelers out looking for a Western publisher so we will likely see this coming out in English in the next year or so.

According to an interview in Famitsu

Actually I’ve wanted to do a crazy horror-action game like this set in a school for a while now. Something where the classrooms, corridors, gymnasium and so on are suddenly transformed into something completely different.

We’re putting a lot of effort into the soundtrack, definitely. Part of the reason we established Grasshopper in the first place was so we could work on every part of a game in-house, and we treat sound especially importantly in this outfit. The sound team for Lollipop is led by Yamaoka and they’re working on a whole array of pop tunes right now. Part of the gameplay might involve sound as well, although exactly how we’re still keeping a secret.

Instead of sprays of blood, we have the zombies emitting bursts of pink light. When it comes to gore, we can certainly go that way if we want, but we wanted to give the game more of a ‘pop’ feel.

Part of the gameplay might involve sound as well, although exactly how we’re still keeping a secret. The game’s framework is complete, and now we’re deep into the fine-tuning process. I’d place it at around 70 percent complete. It’s really a new era for zombie games – a piece of ‘pop’ zombie entertainment.
