Ubisoft is bundling Red Steel and No More Heroes |

What happens when one of the most disappointing games to come out on the Wii comes into direct contact with one of the best games made for the Wii. Evidently it isn’t the end of the world, it’s a discount! Ubisoft has announced that they’ll be reminding everyone that they brought blood to the Wii before SEGA was even thinking about it when they release both Red Steel and No More Heroes in a discount bundle pack for only $29.99. Just to be clear, and since not everyone appreciates NMH for the true piece of artwork it is, Red Steel is the disappointing game here.
The bundle will be released on March 19 and we’re guessing that Ubisoft is hoping to capitalize on the theoretical adult audience that the influx of adult oriented games on the Wii in the past few weeks has attracted. Hopefully people who didn’t give NMH a chance will jump in on this, or less intelligent people who want Red Steel will discover NMH and make the sequel a million seller. In case you couldn’t tell I really like No More Heroes and would love to see it sell a bit more than its 390,000 copies to date.

At first glance I though “ew Red Steel is touching NMH” but you make a good point Matt. More people will play NMH!

Smart business strategy. Will help raise awareness of the games as they both have sequels due.

I would agree with you Ashutosh except for the fact that no reasonable person would want a red steel sequel after playing the original game.

i wan a Red Steel sequel just so they can get it right. It felt like there was great stuff there that Ubi just didn’t know how to do and that a sequel would let them do it. Then again it could just suck as much as the first.
