Forums - Microsoft - Marvelous is considering porting some of their Wii titles to HD

I know I posted this in the gamign discussion but this one is in regards to X360 owners specifically. Now you mayy or may not have heard but Marvelous has stated they are considering Wii to PS3/X360 ports on some of their current games. Marvelous is bringing some of the most beautiful and most stand out games for Wii in Japan. Games like Muramasa:Demon Blade, No More Heroes Series, Arc Rise Fantasia etc. could end up coming to X360 and to me this is wonderful news. I would love to play many of those games in HD on my X360 if they come to it. What games from Marvelous would you like them to port over to X360? Personally I would love to see them bring over the No More Heroes series, Muramasa:The Demon Blade, Arc Rise Fantasia and Rune Factory: Frontier and perhaps Little Kings Story if they can nail the controls on a standard controller for an RTS game like Ensemble did with Halo Wars.

Here's the link for the news.... http://www.siliconera.com/2009/07/02/marvelous-considering-wii-to-playstation-3xbox-360-ports/?dsq=12026166#comment-12026166



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to KinectPS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

Unfortunately, this move won't help them to sell considerably more of those games.



Some of them perhaps but that is not my problem or concern. I only care about the prospect of simply being able to play some of these wonderful games in glorious HD resolution, with my personal favorite game controller and achievements on top of it all. :)

Doesn't make much financial sense. Porting them to PS2 or PSP would cost them less money and it would be more likely to be profitable for them. Porting Muramasa in particular would be a waste of time on HD consoles. They'd have to redo all the sprites or use some blurring filter, the first option would be very expensive and the second option would defeat the purpose of the game being brought to an HD console. That's not getting into the fact that Marvelous is simply the publisher of most of those games. Depending on their agreements with the developer they may have to seek their permission to port the titles and even if they received it they'd have to find someone to handle the porting duties.



No More Heroes for sure.

if this does well, hopefully this will give them more earnings to bring more games over to the US.



haha I love how the 360 fanboys love their acheivements. Like they really mean anything significant in grand scheme of the world lol.


but i agree having osme of these games would be good for others to experience purely on hwo good they are, not on acheivements you can score in them lol.

Do you have a X360...? I doubt it judging by your uncalled for remark.  BTW FYI I simply enjoy the whole concept of Achievements and overtime it just kind of grew on me. I feel naked playing my Wii without them just like I feel naked when I left my cell phone at home. You just get used to them that's all! Oh and I may be an X360 fan but I am in no way a fanboy!!!

I'd prefer Muramasa, as I've been considering getting a Wii for that game. I'm holding out a little hope that it might actually be Muramasa, since Vanillaware already said that they create the art in high res and then compressed it down for the Wii. And judging from their projections, Marvelous isn't expecting the game to sell very much at all... more along the lines of Muramasa's numbers than No More Heroes'.



I see No more Heroes as the best candidate
