Goichi Suda breaks the hearts of countless Wii owners, suggesting that once No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle is finished, the franchise will leave the platform behind.
While No More Heroes and its star Travis Touchdown have captured the hearts of many fans on the Nintendo Wii, Sudaās ambition might just be too big for the platform. Once the sequel hits store shelves in early 2010, it could be curtains for the Wii franchise.
āI think [āNo More Heroes 2ā²] is the last āNMHā that is going to be developed on the Wii. To expand āNMHā to new possibilities, we need a new platform. Wii is a great platform, but weāve done everything we can with it now.ā
While disappointing news for Wii owners, it is a move that makes sound business sense. Despite an excellent reception, the first No More Heroes didnāt exactly fly off store shelves. One would imagine that a mature title with the charm of NMH would do amazingly well on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or even the iPhone.
Where would you folks like to see No More Heroes go next?
