Famitsu No More Heroes on Xbox 360 in 2010

As reported last year, quirky Wii action title No More Heroes started life as an Xbox 360 title before it was relocated to Nintendo's system. As Grasshopper Manufacture Founder Goichi Suda told MCV:“Originally, I’d wanted to make this game for Xbox 360, actually. [Marvelous Interactive boss] Wada-san had information about the new Wii and how the new controller would work before it came out, so that’s why he thought I should produce the game on that format.While Wii owners will see the sequel to the original game early next year, Japanese game magizine Famitsu has confirmed that Grasshopper Manufacture is porting the game to Xbox 360 and PS3 shortly thereafter (as translated and reported by Siliconera): This week’s issue of Famitsu lists No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360... chatter on Japanese message boards say the game will have new modes, Japanese voice acting (note: No More Heroes only had English voice acting in Japan), and will be in sold in stores for 5,040 yen ($56) on February 25, 2010. The overall reception to the game last year was pretty positive all things considered, though pickings on the Wii for great action titles are arguably slim. We'll see what 360 gamers have to say when the game releases on HD platforms next year.
