It's a shame really, No More Heroes which has been getting very decent scores, will not sell well here in America. There is barely anyone who knows about this game. I mean besides the gamers that are in forums nobody on the outside really knows about this game. Z&W and Okami are two other games that no one noticed, and there fore didn't get the sales the deserved despite the facts that they were both really good games.

It kinda saddens me to think that today, when I brought up the game to people in my computer class they were like. THEY'RE MAKING A HEROES GAME!?!?! OMG I WANT TO PLAY AS PETER & CLAIRE!!! I was going NO its not heroes its NO MORE Heroes. Still they weresaying "so what.... you kill heroes THIS LOOKSSTUPID!"

LMAO apparently they're too stupid to recognize the good games from BLEACH: Shattered Blade. I swear to god the kid next to me is alwayssaying "GET BLEACH ITS SO FUN!" while I try to ignore him and go no thanks I like good in my games.

Anyway even though most people hereare going to buy and enjoy the game its kinda saddening that not alot of people out side of the gaming intellect will be buying it.

Of course it will. I have no doubt that it will be shunned commerically. Suda's last game, Killer7, sold (if I remember a report correctly), 20,000 across the PS2 and Gamecube.

Play Killer7 by the way, one of the best games ever.

No More Heroes is pretty popular among the gaming comunities. People were alot more unsure of Zack and Wiki than the are about No More Heores. Although it is true alot of the buz about it has died down i think it'll be bigger than u may give it credit

Unfortunately, it probably won't sell that well, but you never know.

Yes, it sucks that Mario Party 8, a game that does absolutely nothing new aside from bad motion controls, will sell more than No More Heroes. I just hope for the sake of hardcore gamers that Anubis II or Ninjabread Man outsell it.

No it'll sell well because it's got blood and everyone who wants to pretend that mature games somehow moves them up a level in life will buy it and then exclaim to their friends (and unfortunately here) how awesome it is and how adult they feel playing it.

Yes, it's definately a sad reality. Nintendo gamers always complain that third party support sucks yet most of them only buy first party software. You can't have it both ways people!

P.S. - Any Wii gamer that doesn't buy Zack & Wiki hates good games.

No it won't because it's on the Wii and is not an established franchise like GTA or Resident Evil. Killer 7 had blood and sold like like 5 copies on GC.

It will sell because of that but you forget something: the cel-shading graphics. That's what will be a problem with these people. Suda 51 has his style and many don't like it.

I think it will be more a cult than a popular game.

That's not true and you're saying a game that slips into the teens for framerate is a well made game?

We should support devs who dare to break the 15fps barrier on the Wii?

Where are you getting this from? Maybe you should stop listening to what everyone else tells you and play the game yourself. Z & W has a few framerate drops here and there like every game but they only occur in like two of the game's many stages. The goal of the Wii is to have fun and innovative games, not technically mindblowing games. Have you been asleep during Reggie's lectures?

Why shouldn't we support a new franchise that has a lot of promise? I want to support a game that uses the Wii controls better than any other game on the system. I'm telling people to buy the best third party game on the system. I don't know about you, but I like fun games especially when they come from third parties.

Yes, it may happen, but there are those of us who will like it that way. Everyone and their dog loves Halo, and I like it too. but I have a special respect for those who I can discuss Eternal Darkness and Shadow of the Colossus with. Those games wouldn't be the same if everyone had them. It takes a special person to respect the beauty of NMH.

Also, Okami was way too easy, and way too short. I hope No More Heroes doesn;t end up like that.

Im was talking about the original okami... for the PS2. It sold very badly, the wii ones not out yet and therefore has a chance of selling better if it marketed more. Most likely it will get a little more sales but still not as much as expected from the game.

To BoG_ yeah i know what you mean I love getting those cult followings where only a select few know what youre talking about. But the worse part is, a lot ofpeople are playing craptastics games besides good games.

If you read the forums here, that's the logical conclusion. There have been numerous posts about how the PAL version is *ruined* because of the censorship of some of the graphic violence. If censoring the graphic display of violence *ruins* the game, then the game obviously doesn't have much going for it in the first place.

Of course, I haven't paid much attention to the game because I obviously "hate good games" as a couple of posters have so eloquently put it :rolleyes:

I think NMH has potential to be a monster hit. Ubisoft knows how to market their games. Red Steel, for example, was a dirt game which looked incredible in its commercials. Rayman Raving Rabbids also had a great commercial despite the fact it was just a minigame compilation. Capcom, on the other hand, never even made ads for Okami or Zack and Wiki.

Well if people think that bloodis the only thing this game has going for it then they dont know how to do thier homework. Suda51 is known for giving games great story and characters not blood.

ive been trying to get so many people in to this game, every customer that buys a wii game (i work at gamestop) i tell them about NMH, not many people seem to know about it, and the people that do, don't want to pre order it, they want to wait and try it out. my store only has 4 pre orders so far, and 1 is mine. i really hope this game does well. you would think ubisoft would addvertise it a bit.

i mean it is a huge exclusive for a console that doesn't have that many really great games. Look at all the people that have wiis and how crazy they've been selling i'm sure that it won't get lost in the shuffle of wii games because there really isn't all that much to get lost in.

Its not going to be setting any records thats for sure, but I think it will do decent given the company it came from. It has much more of a mainstream appeal than Killer 7, or Zack & Wiki so that means more sells. But it still doesnt follow the gaming template which will keep it from massive commercial success.
