While Japan doesn't seem to be digging No More Heroes that much, creator Suda 51 doesn't appear to be too concerned. He may be looking to North America as a target audience, and he even expresses interest in developing a title for the Xbox 360.
TVG points to an interview with Degenki Online (Japanese) where Suda says that developing for the mainstream system in North America would be challenging and desirable - like playing Major League Baseball.
We're not sure what baseball has to do with anything, but we'd be more than happy to play a Suda 51 title on our Xbox 360s. Hopefully we'll hear more after his current work (Fatal Frame IV and a remake of The Silver Case) is done.

Also, hardcore gaming in japan seems to be dying out by the year. Which sucks. 360 seems to be becoming the choice for niche japanese developers, seeing as at least it means westerners will buy the games.
I'm all like psychic and shit.
If he wants to get sellable games, he just needs to stop making bizzarro land games.
ORGASM!
Do any of you really expect No more Heroes to do well with that kind of audience?
