No More Heroes began life on 360, says developer



Suda51 admits upcoming Wii action hit was originally designed for Microsoft console

Grasshopper founder Suda51 has told MCV that he first planned for Rising Star’s No More Heroes to be an Xbox 360 title.

Speaking exclusively in the No More Heroes Recommended Extra magazine given away free in this weeks’s MCV magazine, Suda51 said:

“Originally, I’d wanted to make this game for Xbox 360, actually. [Marvelous Interactive boss] Wada-san had information about the new Wii and how the new controller would work before it came out, so that’s why he thought I should produce the game on that format.

“At the time, I didn’t really understand why, but after seeing and understanding how it works, I think it was a good choice and the controller works really well with the game.”

Okay, I get why they'd put this on Wii instead of xbox360.

but why wasn't this planned first for PS360? A Japanese company picking xbox over ps3/multiplatform?

Anyway, now you think about it, if this game was on PS360, it will definitely sell more.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

Because this japanese company is run by Suda.

I mean you did see how No More Heroes sold in Japan right?

You actually think it would of sold better on the PS3 in japan?

^ In america it may have sold better, as the PS3 has a more "mature" crowd. (As much as I hate to discriminate)

Take a look at how well Suda51's games have sold in the past, particularly in Japan.  It wouldnt' have sold any better on any other system.

Yeah, sold about 600 copies last week, won't make to 40K (currently at 28K) in lifetime.

This game, as awesome as it is, targets COMPLETELY different crowd Wii attracts, there's no reason why it would sell well.

at least on PS360, there is hope.

 I don't see it, mostly because it would of been a way differnet game if it wasn't on the wii.  The whole combat system would have to be different because if it was a 360/PS3 multiplatform title you really couldn't pull of the combat on the 360 where it'd be any fun.  It would just be a generic slasher combat wise like DW but less complicated.
 While PS3 exclusive Sixaxis would work. (Kinda it would kinda of be annoying and hurt the wrist when doing upwords attacks) there just isn't the userbase that a niche game like this needs. It already is like the fastest selling Suda game ever I think.
