2/1/2024 0 Comments Lollipop and chainsawLollipop Chainsaw’s remake is out in 2023. I can’t imagine it’ll be the same without the licensed soundtrack from the original version – MSTRKRFT, Skrillex, Toni Basil – but at least the hack’n’slash action was fun. My wife bought it a few years after it was released on Xbox 360, and we played through it together. Lollipop Chainsaw is a bit of a thing in the Wheeler household. ![]() Kadokawa Games published Lollipop Chainsaw in 2012. “To add my two cents, like says, neither he nor I am involved in this project at all,” Suda tweeted, “and Grasshopper Manufacture has nothing to do with development or anything.” As Rachel reported yesterday, the remake will be handled by Dragami Games, a studio set up by the former head of Kadokawa Games, Yoshimi Yasuda. But as articles are starting to slap our names on there, I think it’s important to make clear no one ever approached us about it.” Responding to a question about whether he endorsed the game, Gunn said: “I neither endorse nor condemn it! I simply don’t know anything about it. “I heard about it for the first time from Suda a couple weeks ago.” “To answer the question in the article, neither I nor are currently involved in this,” Gunn said. Gunn was the first to address the remake, in reaction to a Bloody Disgusting article about the game.

The Xbox Store page is just in place for fancy visuals. But what about you guys out there? Did you play it back in the day? Do you still own an Xbox 360 gathering dust under the telly that you could play this title on? Let us know in the comments but your best bet would be to grab a copy off of Amazon. These then are my memories of playing Lollipop Chainsaw way back in the mists of time. Not that I spent time trying to look up her skirt, you understand. Called “I swear, it did it by mistake!”, it is still one of the stranger achievements I have ever gotten. There was an achievement tied to getting a look up Juliet’s skirt, believe it or not. And yet the sense of humour shone through: as you were fighting zombies the camera would be swinging around wildly, trying to show the best view of the action. So, chopping up zombies, trying to get the star meter filled up to power Juliet and trying to achieve “sparkle hunting” status in order to get better medals there was certainly a lot to think about as far as combat goes. ![]() Luckily, as she goes through the game, Juliet’s chainsaw will also receive updates, allowing her to charge it and fly off ramps, or transforming into a Blaster to allow her to shoot enemies and obstacles from afar. Nick can also be of use by collecting “Nick Tickets”, which allow him to utilise various moves such as making groups of zombies groggy, or bombarding them from a distance. The chainsaw is your default weapon, and while Nick can also be utilised in combat, mostly by plonking his jar on top of a headless zombie, you’ll spend most of your time slicing and dicing. The action on offer here is that of a third person hack and slash game, as you may have guessed from the title. I’m not going to say any more about the story, as the game is still worth a play today, although only if you have an Xbox 360 or PS3 kicking about, as it was never included in the Backwards Compatibility program, sadly. As Juliet works her way through all five of the bosses, and their surrounding hordes, she gets closer to a final showdown with Swan. It turns out that the zombie attack has been organised by a Goth known as Swan and he has summoned five Dark Purveyors, intelligent zombies that are supposed to embody the spirits of certain types of music, from Punk to classic Rock n Roll. Can you see the Suda51 influence yet? Fortunately, Juliet has a few tricks up her sleeves (well, she doesn’t have sleeves, but you get where I’m coming from) and manages to keep Nick’s head alive in a jar, which she attaches to her belt so she can take him on an adventure. Sadly, Nick is bitten by a zombie, and so Juliet slices off his head.
