The company has plans to evolve series into a major franchise.
In a recent article from Edge Online, Grasshopper Manufacture CEO Goichi Suda (a.k.a. Suda 51) said his company plans to evolve No More Heroes into a bigger franchise. For the studio, the only way to accomplish that would be to look past the Wii and into other systems. He expressed that No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle will probably be the last game in the series to be developed on the Wii.
"Wii is a great platform, but we’ve done everything we can with it now.”
In a story by 1UP, Suda added that his interest in working with Natal.
"We developed No More Heroes with the Wii Remote in mind, but now I want to think about games with Natal in mind. I have to ask myself, as a game designer, what new games can be done with this, what can be an interesting experience and challenge, and I'm looking forward to that."
Ubisoft plans to publish No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle in early 2010 in the West.
