Suda51 (also known as Goichi Suda), the man behind such feats of quirky awesomeness as Killer 7 and No More Heroes, has revealed that Grasshopper Manufacture will be re-releasing its first Playstation game on the PS Store in Japan.

The game, The Silver Case, features the type of strange and unsettling story we've all come to expect from Grasshopper: a series of less-than-pleasant murders are being committed by an assassin who (it's believed) was killed a few years beforehand, and players explore the storyline from two different perspectives. The game is already being remade for the DS, and there's a sequel in development, but the only official plans for an English version of the title is in a handheld format.

Players hoping The Silver Case will be released for the PS Store here in the States are going to have to hold their breath, as nothing official has been announced yet. Given the cult status of Grasshopper Manufacture's recent titles, though, it doesn't seem too unreasonable to hope for a localized version to hit our PS3s.
