Inconceivable! It’s a Marvelous Entertainment game in the top-ten. Twice! It looks like porting No More Heroes to the HD systems was the right choice after all. The series is more popular now, and the added exposure probably created a bit of an additional audience for it, especially since MMV made the effort to add Japanese voices to the game. Hopefully, they’ll fix the issues with the ports and find a publisher in the West willing to bring them over.
…no, Ignition. You stop eyeing them right now. *smacks hand*
The top-ten for the week of April 12th – 18th was as follows:
| Lw | Tw | Title | Tw. Sales | Tot. Sales | Sys. | Publisher |
| 01. | 01. | New Super Mario Bros. Wii | 32,108 | 3,686,739 | Wii | Nintendo |
| 05. | 02. | Tomodachi Collection | 20,883 | 3,110,984 | DS | Nintendo |
| 03. | 03. | Pro Baseball Spirits 2010 | 20,880 | 102,733 | PSP | Konami |
| 04. | 04. | Pro Baseball Spirits 2010 | 19,104 | 106,864 | PS3 | Konami |
| 02. | 05. | Fist of the North Star Musou | 18,866 | 510,052 | PS3 | Koei |
| 06. | 06. | Pokémon Ranger: Tracks of Light | 15,961 | 396,498 | DS | Nintendo |
| New | 07. | No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise | 15,763 | New | PS3 | Marvelous |
| New | 08. | No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise | 15,153 | New | 360 | Marvelous |
| 09. | 09. | Wii Fit Plus | 14,685 | 1,832,540 | Wii | Nintendo |
| 08. | 10. | Yakuza 4 | 11,094 | 529,977 | PS3 | Sega |
It seems the uncensored nature of the Xbox 360 version of No More Heroes allowed it to debut neck-in-neck with the PS3 port. Speaking of neck-in-neck, the PSP and PS3 versions of Pro Baseball Spirits 2010 continue to sell very close to each other for yet another week. While the PSP version might have a “portable” advantage, the PS3 version has an exclusive online mode that allows for downloading of updated stats as the game season progresses.
