In a recent interview with Suda 51, chairman of the Grasshopper development studio’s , taked about No More Heroes.

Available in recent weeks on Nintendo Wii, at least in Japan and the United States, it appears that this game was not meant for this console at the begining. Indeed, the president said he intends to develop the title on 360. But Yasuhiro Wada, president of Marvelous Interactive, it has strongly advised the Wii with its original and innovative gameplay:

“Initially, I wanted to develop this game for Xbox 360, actually. Wada-san had information on the Wii and on the functionality of the new controller before its release, which is why it thought that I should produce the game on this platform ”

Attracted by this grip intuitive, Suda 51 has therefore concentrated on the console on the market for Nintendo to develop their project.

This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game No More Heroes by IGN

No More Heroes is a grab bag of highs and lows, and the end result is going to be different based on your expectations. No More Heroes has one of the most unique, stylistic designs we’ve seen in years (maybe since Killer 7, in fact), as the presentation is made up of pixel art, a retro-themed audio production, and some of the best characters out there. It’s hilarious, completely matchless in its design, and hands-down one of the most passionate projects we’ve seen for Nintendo’s console. On the other hand, it’s obvious that open world designs aren’t Grasshopper’s strong suit, and while you wont be actually fighting or experiencing any “pure action” moments in the world, it’s a pain to trek through, and a painfully low-tech visual offering. Pop-in is everywhere, control is irritating at best, and the frame rate is all over the charts. It’s an absolute mess.

For those that can work around it though, No More Heroes delivers snappy combat, hilarious characters, cinematic battles, and some of the most rewarding motion fighting since Godfather: Blackhand Edition. There’s a point in No More Heroes where you realize that even despite all its shortcomings you’re still having a great time playing the game, and we won’t deny that aspect. If you can put up with a lack of polish, No More Heroes is an extremely rewarding product, and a must-have for any Suda fan or hardcore gamer.
