Suda 51: next No More Heroes won't be on Wii
by JC Fletcher 
{ Jul 2nd 2009 at 2:15PM } 
Slightly less awesome news for certain No More Heroes fans: if the series does continue past Desperate Struggle, it probably won't be on the Wii. "I think this is the last NMH that is going to be developed on Wii," Suda said. "To expand NMH to new possibilities, we need a new platform. Wii is a great platform, but we've done everything we can with it now."
Recent comments from Suda suggest that he's looking toward the Natal-enhanced Xbox 360 for at least one future project -- and No More Heroes was originally planned as a 360 game. Perhaps he's realized that charging Travis Touchdown's beam saber could be made even more embarrassing without a Wiimote prop.
In any case, it may be a bummer for Wii-only gamers, but at least if No More Heroes comes out on one of the other consoles, the "hardcore" types will be able to admit it's wonderful without having to say something nice about the Wii.

There is a God.
Doctor Doom @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:22PM
Yes. And His name is Doom.
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:24PM
Ok, we get it. Your Doctor Doom. Now can't you just sit on your Doom Throne and be menacing without flexing your ego?
Zexion_VI @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:25PM
With a name like Doom Throne, you can't help but flex your ego.
Trev @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:26PM
We could just tell embarrassing Squirrel Girl stories until he clams up.
Doctor Doom @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:27PM
Yes, sir...
However, I will say this is good news. I haven't played the first one, but it looks quite fun.
ilovethewaggle @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:45PM
You know, this could just be a huge marketing ploy.
"Hey Everybody! There's two great NMH games on the wii go buy them and play them and love them to pieces so you know what's going on when the third one comes out! Then you can buy that one too!"
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:47PM
Yeah, it's a great marketing ploy, especially if you only own the Wii....
?????

The doom throne in my house is the toilet.
Doubly so before I flush.
CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:54PM
This sounds like a bad idea to me, unless they plan to rerelease the first 2 on Xbox 360. Why would anyone go and buy a 3rd game if they haven't played the 1st too? I guess people did that with Metal Gear Solid 4 though.
ilovethewaggle @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:00PM
I loved NMH, if the second one is even better like it's supposed to be and the third one doesn't come out on the wiiwii, then yes, i'd consider buying another platform.
CH3BURASHKA @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:22PM
YES! I played it on my friends Wii and it was obviously not necessary to be on the Wii. I totally want to see it in 1080p.
Shmil @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:50PM
Doom is one of those guys that forces his nickname on other people. We made TheDarkWayne batman, he never said he was until enough of us told him he was. Now if only Batman could kick the ass on the internet.
Doombot (zuburi) @ Jul 2nd 2009 4:12PM
What the...?
Doombot (zuburi) @ Jul 2nd 2009 4:14PM
Well, fuck. Guess it's time for another nickname/avatar since I got douched out of this one.
j.howlett @ Jul 2nd 2009 6:01PM
i knew we already had a doom
Nook @ Jul 2nd 2009 7:15PM
so, suda is pissy that it sold like shit, again after the abortion of gameplay called killer7.
i'm glad you're happy that god has seen fit to bless you with the IP.
now when it continues to bomb, bookmark this cos it will bomb, know that it is because the idea and execution is not that good.
whoever is floating this guy money is an idiot.
Ridgecity @ Jul 2nd 2009 7:43PM
The game is very simple, I agree, but people didn't even give it a chance to try it. But that's what happens to all semi-violent games on Wii.
ben @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:21PM
"...but at least if No More Heroes comes out on one of the other consoles, the "hardcore" types will be able to admit it's wonderful without having to say something nice about the Wii."
i lol'd
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:23PM
I lol'd at the part where I imagined myself charging the Beam Saber with the Natal.
Awkward Fun!
NoughtSoClever @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:33PM
I don't have anything against Suda wanting to do it with Natal, but I would have thought that the PS3 motion controls would have been a better fit.
The Dark Wang(Ohyeahcola in disguise) @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:46PM
Yeah the ps3 motion controller suits this type of game
Zexion_VI @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:21PM
Not sure what to say about this. They should instead make the DSG head volley ball game... That would sell TRILLIONS!!!!
WINterfang @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:22PM
YES!!!! YES!!
Ad134 @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:23PM
Finally! Using a console that actually has more power than a brick!
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:25PM
Yeah! The 360 comes with the power of a brick and then some!
j/k I love my 360.
Ad134 @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:27PM
Well, the power TO brick maybe.
:D
I own a PS3, not a 360 but they're both good consoles, and they both belong in this generation, unlike the wii which belongs in last gen.
Chin-Paaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:27PM
Come on Suda 51, you wanna develop for the PC, I know you know! ; )
Chin-Paaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:32PM
Hey come on, I didn't say PC only. : P
NoughtSoClever @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:35PM
I especially found this humorous, as my second 360 just bricked today. yay.
EckhartD @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:35PM
you're right, Ad134...but you have to be careful what you say around here....
Mr Khan @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:39PM
How original. You deserve some sort of award.
Girugamuk (Moptimus Slimed) @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:46PM
I dont know, I'd rather be hit in the head with a 360 than a brick
so Brick>360
SEVENim @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:30PM
The wii may have the power of a brick, but a good number of 360's eventually turn into one. at least they can be debricked
manyquestions @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:12PM
Sad as it is Khan, I think this might actually count as original if only for not using the word "dust".
Desert Eagle @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:05PM
Hmmm... somehow I'm glad nobody replying to Ad134's post hasn't said a Mac joke. Maybe because...
DvO @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:26PM
Can I just ask why everyone assumes Natal will be incompatible with peripherals? I could fully see a lightsaber peripheral with a few IR emitters or a Halo Assault Rifle being bundled with games. In fact, I'd be surprised if others haven't already done it.
Girugamuk (Moptimus Slimed) @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:28PM
because Natal uses IR....
>_>
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:29PM
Because including peripherals increases consumer cost. It's risky. They're going to have to play this carefully. They're reintroducing NMH all over again to a new console market and the last thing they want to do is put a $120 price tag on it.
NoughtSoClever @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:36PM
Also because MS hasn't made any mention of it, but mostly because MS will want to distinguish their motion control system from the competitors as much as possible.
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:42PM
I think they've done that already Nought. It's the one with the boy named "Milo", the douche named "Kudo", oh and that hot blonde.
The Dark Wayne @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:50PM
@moptimus They just gotta hire mullet man!
Girugamuk (Moptimus Slimed) @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:00PM
second verse, same as the first!
@Wayne
I'm sure he'll get right on after he finds someone to go back in time with him
The Dark Wang(Ohyeahcola in disguise) @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:02PM
stop copying my name Wayne
EckhartD @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:27PM
A DS iteration that controls like Phantom Hourglass would be most welcome in my book (like about a side story character, not a main entry in the franchise)
Girugamuk (Moptimus Slimed) @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:27PM
Wii2:confirmed?
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:30PM
They could just get all clever with it and capitalize the two "i"s.
WII - get it?
AsherR @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:41PM
Storm Eagle... That is bloody brilliant!
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:43PM
You heard it here first!
ilovethewaggle @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:49PM
I think those japaneese people would come up with something more along the lines of the WIIWII.
