Recently, Official Nintendo Magazine got a chance to sit down with Grasshopper, the team responsible for critical darling No More Heroes. While the interview provides a neat and tidy synopsis of No More Heroes' development cycle, it provides two interesting tidbits: No More Heroes was originally planned for the Xbox 360, and Travis Touchdown was dreamed up while Goichi Suda (aka Suda51) was on the toilet.
