Exactly this. Two very late ports of a game that was hardly advertised with the stigma of being from the Wii is going to not exaclty do wonders in the sales department. Fact it is only a few thousand off is pretty impressive. And let's be blunt, when you've got Bayonetta etc, why would you dash out to buy No More Heroes...? |
To be fair, the Wii original had even less promotion compared to Heroes' Paradise. HP actually got collectible pre-order bonuses (exclusive to each version too, encouraging fans to buy both), extensive magazine advertising/coverage and even a self contained pamphlet stocked at retailers all about the game. The Wii version didn't even get that, it was literally sent to die (likely because it changed publisher hands from Spike to Marvelous).
