No more worries for No More Heroes |
Ó
If you're among the many Suda 51 (Goichi Suda) fans who felt bad about No More Heroes not doing well in its native Japan, here's something to give you some comfort. The Nintendo Wii exclusive is doing very well in North America and similar results are expected when the game hits Europe.Forget the whole toilet paper freebie incident in Akibahara that was popularized on the internet. No More Heroes has shipped over 200,000 copies in North America and sold half of it since its recent launch. Stocks are projected to sell out in a matter of weeks.
This gives publisher Ubisoft and the rest of Suda 51's happy crew over at Grasshopper Manufacture plenty of reasons to be optimistic about PAL territories. The latest estimates reflect that launch sales should hit somewhere in the neighborhood of 160,000.
No More Heroes is a sandbox-style game starring young protagonist Travis Touchdown who wins a beam katana in an internet raffle. With the deadly weapon, he sets out on a run to become the world's greatest assassin. The title has been reviewed by most Western game publications and is generally recognized as one of the Wii's top titles.

Good for Suda! Im glad its done well over here
This game is awesome! However I don't doubt that half of its success in the US is based on the blood. I cant imagine the game without blood.
I heard EU were getting the non-bloody version, which is kinda sad :( I still hope it does well!
"No More Heroes is a sandbox-style game..."
You've obviously never played it. It is in no way a sandbox style game. You ride around a city on a motorcycle to get you from 1 mission to the next. There are no likenesses to sandbox-style games whatsoever.
Like riding a car in GTA to pick up missions... :)
That's like saying Super Smash Bros. Brawl ain't a fighting game coz it has cute characters.
But you're entitled to your opinion. Let's agree to disagree on this one, shall we?
