Weel said Tubatic. I don't know if other systems can get the same experience with No More Heroes that you get on the Wii. And I'm getting Desperate Struggle released day. =D Who the hell can hate Suda 51 or Travis Touchdown?

If the Wii has proven anything about mature titles, it's that it has no American market for them. Most mature games that the Wii has cranked out has sold awfully. Games like No More Heroes sell awfully while the latest Mario abortion sells on brand name alone.

And either way, exclusivity is a dying business. It just doesn't make sense to do it. Game Devs don't owe each other anything, Suda 51 doesn't have to look out for Nintendo. If they develop exclusivly for Nintendo it should be because of the lower production costs and chance at the largest consumer base on the market right now, not because of "loyalty".

I'm very happy for the port as now I wont have to buy a Wii to enjoy the first game again.

Personally, I played the game when I owned a Wii and loved it. Bu

I agree with Tubatic and Samson. I think it's cool this game can be played by all now, but the right joystick won't be nearly as satisfying as using actual motions to finish someone.

@callmealex

I totally agree with you. In these days, being a fanboy is a dying breed. The one who truly misses out is the fanboy himself. And using the wiimote as a phone was pretty damn nifty!

@pedrovay2003

It always brought a smile to my face to swing my arm for that finally chop =D

@ Jonathan Holmes
What do you mean exactly by a victory? As in they have something everyone else has to envy?
Let me know when that's posted, I look forward to it!

I hear what you are saying Samson, but I think you are painting the picture with all the thought of a childs minds eye, understandable since you are still young, no offence.

I still have my GC and remember the RE4 thing too, awesome game. The thing is, this situation that No More Heroes and Suda are in, is down to Nintendo themselves. Nintendo cannibalised the GC to make Wii, and thus while Nintendo are happy with this and saving money, second and third party developers and publishers don't feel the same, and they are right not too.

Why? Well, what Nintendo don't realise or fail to deal with, is technology that they don't create themselves, still matters overall in moving the games industry forward, like PCs, DVD and such. Because of this alien stubborn stance, they have been caught two steps behind since the N64 era, and still suffer from it now. GC came out in japan in September 2001, so is turn of the 21 century technology, which was fine back in 2001. Fast forward to the present, and Nintendo are racking money home with Wii. The Wii success story is cool in its own right, and will benefit the games industry in the long run. However, most devs and pubs feel differently, and to create their awesome games desire the best technology to do so, which Nintendo is failing to offer, but 360, PS3 and PC do.

Now that the Wii is largely in casual owners hands, who don't care about old console tech and graphics, the devs who want create more inspired and larger games, need to take their wares to a better place.

For a good example of Nintendo madness, take a look at their creating their own media format for GC. Nintendo could have used CDs with N64, but made excuses not to, so they could cling to carts for longer, and charge publishers huge prices to use them on their system. This same thing happened with GC, which should have easily used normal DVD 9 as standard like PS2, is still happening to a degree with DS, which again, could have used Samsung SD/other cards as standard, but didn't.

Ever wonder why GC never had the joy of demo dvds, that were one of the PS1/2s best joys? Because GC couldn't take DVD 9, unless you had a Panasonic Q version, which was never released glonbally. Such demo GC mini dvds, may not have been cost effective, to then have them given away with a GC magazine. Not having this exposure hurt the GC a lot, but Nintendo still are failing and not keeping up. I still find it jaw droppingly amazingly stupid, that we almost in space year 2010, and a Nintendo console still can't run basic DVD 9 out of the box. How embarassing for them, and unfortunate for us. Its all about Nintendo being control freaks with their storage medium.

But I digress (this isn't a Wii hate, just based on the facts and a wider view of the industry), exclusive games are fast becoming a thing of the past these days, and with motion control soon to become more prevalent in games, I can understand previous Wii titles being given a second chance. I'll certainly pick up NMH on 360, safe in the knowledge that it could do better on those system. Suda and co deserve a break and good sales.

Yeah I feel the same, and part of my heart breaks everytime I think about it, after having grown up with Nintendo consoles. I'm sure we all want Nintendo to do much better, and I truly think that if they were to create a system with a decent spec, address and tackle online gaming and demos, and simply learn from the competition, developers and publishers would warm to them more, and stick with them.

While I have waved a flag for the genius of Wii, I too am now beginning to ask the 'how long will it sell' question. I'm sure that while Nintendo won't admit it publicly, they are worried that Wii will stop selling, and in the face of competition that is more fierce, Nintendo need to adjust and fast, because the casuals might not be enough to survive next gen. One thing is certain in my mind now I have a 360, which is that I can go without a Nintendo console and still enjoy and love other games on other systems. It has changed me for the better, just like when I purchased my first PC, and experienced games on that.

I remember reading an article in Edge magazine about No More Heroes. Suda wanted NMH to be a bit like GTA. Imagine how much cooler NMH would have been, if it was developed from scratch on 360/PS3/PC? If you look at the original, those vast open spaces of nothing while riding your bike, would have breathed much more life and potentially more fun. Unfortunately, the old tech of the Wii can't handle complexity to GTAIV standards (with tricks the closest the GC came to GTA was that True Crimes game, but that was a western game). Perhaps Suda suffered from the loyalty culture of japan, where its obviously an honour to work with Nintendo, sometimes too much loyalty is shown, which blinds many japanese developers to the crutch that Wii technically is. You'd be brave to criticise Nintendo and live in Japan. Japanese developers also work in a kind of bubble environment, where less or next to no influence comes from outside of japan. This has to change, and I think the likes of Capcom, From Software, Atlus, etc will lead here.

Where Nintendo will be in that equation I can't say, but looking at some of their recent output, I'm somewhat worried about them. The Pilotwings, Starfox games I wanted to see on Wii probably won't appear now, and Nintendo have yet to do anything really adventurous and jaw dropping, last wow moments being Twilight Princess and to a latter extent, Metroid Prime series, already existing IP too. Wii Fit is cool, but doesn't excite, and if they really want to lure back hardcore gamers, either this or next gen, they will need some cooler Sony like IP, God of War selling next to Ratchet and Clank.

Samson, when you have a moment. Go to 1up.com and listen to the first episode of the 1up Oddcast (also available via iTunes). There's a guy who used to be on 1up, James, who now works for japanese developer Q Entertainment, with Mizuguchi of Rez fame. I'm sure you'll find what he says about japanese game development very interesting, and it will show you why japanese development is in such a crisis.

Sorry for the essay reply, dude.
