Designer Goichi Suda, founder of developer Grasshopper, has today revealed that Wii release No More Heroes actually started life as an Xbox 360 title.

Suda was speaking to British industry mag MCV, revealing that he'd originally planned to support Microsoft's console. "Originally, I'd wanted to make this game for Xbox 360, actually. [Marvelous Interactive chief] Wada-san had information about the new Wii and how the new controller would work before it came out, so that's why he thought I should produce the game on that format," the dev reveals.

"At the time, I didn't really understand why, but after seeing and understanding how it works, I think it was a good choice and the controller works really well with the game," he admits.

No More Heroes, out in Europe at the end of this month, promises sword-fighting and adventuring, all wrapped up in a uniquely stylised bundle. We'll bring you more on this soon.
