No More Heroes excels on next-gen

MCV Staff 23rd April 2010 Business News

Both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the once Wii-only No More Heroes have bettered the week one performance of the original Wii release on their first week of release in Japan.

The numbers back up the notion that mature, violent titles do not sit well with the target demographic of Nintendo’s machine, which has a strong following amongst younger, older and casual gamers.

Siliconera reports that No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise, an HD remake of the Wii game, sold 16k copies on PS3 and 15k on Xbox 360 in its first week on sale. In contrast, sales of the Wii version hit 11,700 in its debut week.

The games claimed seventh and eighth spots in Japan’s weekly software chart.

There’s still no UK release date for the game.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
