"The Wii's incredible commercial success and unique control system ensured that the console received more than its fair share of third-party exclusives, with No More Heroes being one of the most notable early releases. Developed by Goichi "Suda51" Suda and his team at Grasshopper Manufacture, this insane 3D action title combined pop-culture, Otaku references, over-the-top violence and plenty of Wii Remote waggling.

Speaking to EDGE magazine, Suda51 has explained how the title came to be, and has also revealed that it nearly appeared as an exclusive on a totally different console — the Xbox 360. Suda51's mind was changed when he saw Nintendo's unique controller at the Tokyo Game Show in 2005, noting that it would be perfect for the game's katana-based combat, which was actually conceived before the Wii was announced."

Also; "No More Heroes was a smash hit as far as we were concerned"

want hd port for wii u...

One of the games I forgot when making my top 50 games

Too bad the game didn't sell more than it did, it was an epic game when it came out T_T

I wanted to like this game, but the game play was just so ... janky.

Clearly its based on Shake Weight

HAHHAHAHAAHA Charles Barkley looks so happy about the shake weight.

Loved it. One of my favorite games on the Wii. I would love a HD remake. Or a port of the PS3 remaster. I'd buy that.

It got ported to HD twins... It flopped...

Its because it could be used with a controller. That is unnatural. It was meant to be used with a Wiimote and Nunchuck. That was half of the fun with the game.
