If any proof was ever needed that Rol is an intelligent guy, it is in this thread. Not only did he list Manhunt 2 as a third party failure, but he actually remembered the game.

No kidding. I forgot I HAVE the game. LOL.

I invited my friend over to play boom blox. The next day he bought a wii because of how much fun we had.

The word you seek is "unrepentantly."

Grasshopper is a tiny company that would not have been able to afford to make No More Heroes with HD graphics.  Also, the HD systems already have dozens of generic M-rated action titles.  No More Heroes would have been lost in the crowd, whereas on the Wii it got to really shine as a unique game.  Also, the motion controls were absolutely necessary, so it wouldn't even have been possible on the 360.

Haze and Lair had huge ad campaigns and came out on a system that really really needed games like that at the time.  It's a shame those games cost so much to make and sucked so hard to play and destroyed their developers.  No More Heroes made profit, is getting a sequel, and is Suda51's most successful game ever.

@Ail, I bought my Wii on the day it was released, because I knew that thanks to its revolutionary new controller it would be the best selling system of all time and would grant Nintendo and 3rd parties the freedom to try new ideas.  I have not been let down.  You can call it "potential" if you want, but I was already playing new original 3rd party games like Elebits during Christmas 2006.

LoL, so true Rol so true.
