Taking a look at vgchartz, it seems Suda's games rarely ever sell more than a quarter million, with only No More Heroes going above that mark (to about .45 mil). Unfortunately, Killer7 isn't listed so I've no way to know if that managed to do any better... but all things considered, No More Heroes and Travis Touchdown should be considered Suda's best character/game to date and as such, should be franchised.
Hopefully Suda himself realizes this because goddamn NMH is still one of the best games on the Wii and I'd love to see it hit the PS3 with want motion controls.
what the hell is that?
this looks like a hotel room of sorts.
look to the left of the entertainment cabinet...
is that a phone or a... well... what is it?!
@Pretty Sneaky Sis: Alright, I read this post, skimmed, the comments, finished catching up on the rest of Kotaku and then closed the browser and went back to work.
Thirty minutes later, I'm coming back solely for the purpose of informing you that I've got "bananaphone" stuck in my head.
@AndrosZ: Gaming sites only cover first week/month sales, then they ignored it. Just like most Wii games it was a slow burn but with overall good numbers. You'd never know that though because this industry is so focused on launch sales. The wii breaks that and so many other models, it's not surprising people thought this game did poorly.
@AndrosZ: No More Heroes sold 440k copies worldwide. Not a huge hit, but for a small developer like Grasshopper, that is a great success. Hence, sequel, Desperate Struggle.
I noticed that he had a Wii in his room based on all the wires and I was looking for it. It seems that it's right behind him and that the front of it is green. Nice bit of customization.
yay looks like Ps3 owner will get a taste of travis touchdown but hold something is missing....Right right, the xbox360, the umm.....oh oh oh THE NATAL... mmmmmm
And here I thought he was going to bring the game out for the current gen consoles... Sucks that I now know I will not only miss out on 2, but for the moment it seems all his games are going to be on the lame company's systems. HD, a real processor and power of a current gen console that he refuses to tap into. Imagine if he did all he could possibly get out of the 360... Or a NMH where you could challenge friends on live who play other assassins in a true Open world environment.
You're a talented fellow, I hope NMH2 is more successful then the first. I've only played 20 minutes of the first and although it had it's faults, it was funner then hell.
All you Wii owners support this man, because if you don't. Suda, baby...PS360 extends their meaty sweaty arms to you.
