Can't Touch This: Suda51 Just Dances

Grasshopper Manufacture CEO and eccentric game designer Goichi "Suda51" Suda recently took some time off from working on No More Heroes 2 to try out Just Dance, the unfavorably reviewed Wii dancing game that released last November. I can't think of any other reason for why he'd play a game like this, so I'm presuming it's a favor (or a payoff) to Ubisoft, which also publishes his No More Heroes series.

Though Suda51 tells his Frag Doll interviewer that he prefers to dance to hardcore techno, you can see him in this clip waving his arms and shaking around to MC Hammer's 90s hit and cautionary tale "Can't Touch This". Unfortunately, Ubisoft didn't make him wear hammer dance across the room as part of his publishing contract. Maybe No More Heroes 2 would have enjoyed a much bigger marketing budget if he'd done it!
