No More Heroes, No More Customers, No More Sales.

No More Heroes, No More Customers, No More Sales, No More Games. Face it: Japanese Wii owners buy Wii Sports, Wii Fit and maybe Super Mario Galaxy. That's about it, really! So, when a third party company releases something that, well, isn't any of those three, what happens? Not much. That's No More Heroes executive producer and Harvest Moon creator Yasuhiro Wada and No More Heroes and Killer 7 creator Goichi Suda hoping to give out toilet paper and hoping to sign copies of NMH. Thing is, after twenty minutes of Suda and Wada standing in front of Akihabara's Sofmap, nobody bought the game. Keep in mind, that not only two well-known game creators were giving out toilet paper, but there was also a woman in a mini-skirt (that, after the jump). Talk about a tough crowd! Japanese game press like IT Media, GA Graphic and Famitsu were at the bust of an event and didn't have any customers to photograph at the launch. According to Akiba Blog, a staffer from Famitsu publisher Enterbrain apparently went and bought a copy of No More Heroes for Wada and Suda to sign. Regardless of what you think of No More Heroes, stuff like this isn't just sad for Suda and co., but for Wii owners ultimately. No More Heroes isn't your typical Wii game, and it seems to be getting punished for that. Hope it does better in the States — for the Wii's sake. http://kotaku.com/gaming/suda51/mini+skirt-or-not-no-more-customers-331771.php Someone help Nintendo's 3rd party in Japan, I know console is almost dead in Japan, but we really need to support 3rd party, since Nintendo isn't focus western audience (http://kotaku.com/gaming/george-harrison/nintendo-has-no-plans-for-more-western-talent-328250.php), or else there will be no more games except Nintendo's games, someone really need to change the market!
