I read a few months ago on VGC that some of the wii games will be making their way to the hd twins.So it begins eh?I wonder if Muramasa will be ported too.

I'd love for that to happen. Just so people realize how niche the game actually  is and don't blame the Wii for any poor sales they may have  thought it had because of the Wii or Nintendo.

That's an interesting point. Not regarding Muramusa, but with No More Heroes. If this goes on to sell pretty well on the HD consoles, it's going to bring up questions on the validity of violent games that aren't well known IPs being on the Wii.

Quite true, but if does around the same amount, do you think it would benefit the Wii's view in that aspect. So it really is a "stay the same - lose" situation. I really don't see it outselling the Wii version on both consoles, let alone one. So I guess we will have to wait and see.

There's no way the Wii gains any advantage if this game fails. It will just be one less example used, and will probably be excused away for being a late port, just like GTA: Chinatown Wars. However, if this finds success on the HD consoles, like 700K-1M, then the media and forums aren't going to let it slide at all.

That is a big if  though. Especially considering the developers history, the general HD console owner's preference, and the general aspect of it being a port of a two year old game. I'm going to assume this is going to release sometime near No More Heroes 2, and if that were the case, and this sold that 700k-1m, outselling NMH2, that would intensify the situation.

Honestly, I dont see any of the hipothetical ports to HD consoles selling any good. A 2 year old port, with the gameplay in the video isnt going to appeal to HD consoles owners that can get better from new games.

 I see exactly what happened to chinatown wars hapening now, but I think its justified, I woudnt buy chinatown wars for the psp knowing its a DS port, they shouldve made the desission from the begining, its like porting a ps1 game to ps2, no one wouldve actually cared about the game, even if the gamecouldve been better on the ps2 if developed specially for it from the begining.
