The founder of developer Suda51 has revealed he originally designed eagerly-awaited Wii game No More Heroes for Microsoft's Xbox 360 console.

Speaking in a special MCV supplement, a spokesman from the firm said: "Originally, I’d wanted to make this game for Xbox 360, actually. [Marvelous Interactive boss] 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.

“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.”

No More Heroes is scheduled for release on February 29.
