Reactions: No More Heroes Abandoning the Wii

Desparate Struggle, the second game in the No More Heroes franchise, may very well be the last in the series to be developed for the Wii. Goichi “Suda 51″ Suda told Edge that, in order for the series to really flourish, it needs to move on from the Wii. “To expand NMH to new possibilities, we need a new platform. Wii is a great platform, but we’ve done everything we can with it now.”

Well, there goes another one of the Wii’s “hardcore” franchise. ‘Tis a shame, really.

1Up suggests that Suda 51 may be looking to take advantage of Microsoft’s console and Project Natal since he showed significant interest in the new motion sensing technology, and the fact that NMH was designed specifically with motion control in mind.

“We developed No More Heroes with the Wii remote in mind, but now I want to think about games with Natal in mind. I have to ask myself, as a game designer, what new games can be done with this, what can be an interesting experience and challenge, and I’m looking forward to that.”
