Grasshopper bigwig Goichi Suda (known colloquially as Suda51) has hinted that gory Wii slash ‘em up No More Heroes may be heading to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in the near future.

Apparently, Suda feels that the series must make the transition to other platforms in order to ‘expand’ the franchise to new possibilities. He told Edge: “I really want to make NMH a big franchise,” adding, “and with this second episode have bigger success. I’m putting a lot of care into developing this IP, as I feel there’s a lot of potential.”

“I think this is the last NMH that is going to be developed on Wii,” he continued. “To expand NMH to new possibilities, we need a new platform. Wii is a great platform, but we’ve done everything we can with it now.”

In addition, a recent financial presentation by the game’s Japanese publisher, Marvelous Entertainment, indicates that the company may be branching into multiplatform territory in the future, which among other things includes porting some of its Wii back catalogue to Sony and Microsoft's console.

We’ll keep you posted on any developments as they break.
