No More Heroes - Image 1


Want to know more about Marvelous Interactive's No More Heroes and its legendary creator, Goichi Suda (or Suda 51)? Then you're in luck as you'll see in this interview with the man himself how he explains the the rather tedious minigames in No More Heroes, his love of wrestling, and what titles he's currently working on. Sit back as we pick apart the crazy brain that is Suda 51's.

Let's move on first to just how he decided on making No More Heroes on the Nintendo Wii console. In fact, if the publishers had their way, No More Heroes would have been an Xbox 360 game - but Suda 51 admitted that because he was so excited about the Wii's then-newly-unveiled controller, he had to convince them that No More Heroes had to be a Wii game. And this, without spilling the controller's secrets. Tough.

What about the tedious, more-fun-than-they-should-really-be minigames in No More Heroes? Suda 51 explained that their existence in the game was due to the fact that most if not all of those who worked in the game had held quite their share of odd jobs, so it was a consensus that they should be put in. Also, Suda 51 and his team wanted to put across the message that while some jobs may not be important and you hate them, but you still do them to the best of your ability, it'll turn out well. That better times will come, after you've fastidiously cleaned graffiti off walls or collected every scorpion there is in an abandoned field.

As for wrestling, Suda 51 declared that he was quite a big fan. Evidently, since a large part of Travis' killing repertoire consisted of nothing but wrestling moves. This, he explained, was because he believed wrestling games would not turn out enough of a profit to justify it - so it seemed the easier route to include it in a game instead, rather than just make an entirely new title with it.

And about the sequel - it seems that Suda 51definitely wants to continue the story of Travis Touchdown, what with the cliffhanger ending and all. Here's his statement: "I'd love to make No More Heroes 2 for the Wii. But only if the original sells enough to convince the publishers. That's out of my hands now."

You heard the man. So if you want No More Heroes 2, then tell your friends to buy a copy! In any case, updates as we get them, and you can check out the full interview by clicking on the via link below.

Already bought my copy. Great game. Little bit on the choppy and sloppy side, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. WANT NO MORE HEROES 2 PLEASE!

This is probably the only Wii game that I would actually buy if I was given a Wii. Plus, as an added bonus, there's absolutely no Mario in it!

Haven't I seen posts from you bashing this game a while back? Did you actually play this, or are you still judging your opinion based on what others think?

he did bash this game

I never bashed this game! I think it may be good, but would never buy a Wii just for it.

If Nintendo can get 5 or 6 games like this on the Wii without mario ,lower the price by $100, and introduce competive features the Wii needs that the others have had long ago, I might just pick one up. I have all the other Nintendo systems, even the Virtual Boy.

As it stands now, however, the Wii sucks hard.
