News: Suda 51 Discusses NMH On 360

The maverick game auteur sets the record straight concerning the series' roots on Wii.

Shortly after No More Heroes was released on Wii and it's success confirmed, it was revealed that the game had originally been conceived as an Xbox 360 title. When the sequel - No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle - was unveiled, some questioned the position of the franchise, and whether Suda 51 would go back and rethink the decision to place the game on 360.

Speaking to GameSetWatch, Suda-san had this to say:

"One of the main reasons why we're back on Wii is because of the controller. When we released the first one on Wii, you had this feeling just finished with moving the controller; it was really good. So, if we released it on Xbox 360, for example, we'd have to rethink this feeling. I wanted to keep the game's controller gimmick, so that's why the fighting was more fitting on Wii, rather than on other platforms."

A strong enough denial then. With the original already standing as Suda 51's best selling game by far, would moving the series onto other systems really benefit his company? Have your say below...
