Since my 10th anniversary of Killer7 is through, why not go all the way?
No More Heroes was designed with the Wii remote in mind. The internal speaker lets you hear Sylvia Christel's phone calls, as well as assorted in-game effects. It also contributes to the combat beautifully.
Suda51 and GHM were not involved in the making of the PS3 version. Yes, it has higher resolution graphics, but it's also glitchy, has removed content, and the controls just aren't as responsive as the Wii version.
But as with Killer7 PS2, despite the flaws, it's better than nothing. However, also as with K7 PS2, Suda says the Nintendo version remains the optimal way to experience it.

Why not aim for the top?

No More Heroes (ノーモア★ヒーローズis an action-adventure hack and slash video game for the Wii. It was directed by Goichi Suda, developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and published by Marvelous Entertainment, Ubisoft and Rising Star Games. The title comes from the album title No More Heroes which was released by the British punk band The Stranglers.
The game is not a sequel to Suda51's earlier game, killer7, but an entirely original game running on a new engine. Though the two games have stylistic similarities, Suda51 has said that while Killer7 focused on political issues, No More Heroes focuses on social ones.
All that's standing between Travis Touchdown and the top of the United Assassins Association are the world's 10 best killers. But with his beam katana, procured from an online auction site, and the help of a mysterious vixen(who he hopes to win over by hitting the top), he's out to carve a path of destruction and claim his title.

Welcome to my cast-
#1 - Jeane
You don't want this to be 'No More Heroes Forever', do you?
'Ermen Palmer' / Emir Parkreiner
It don't work like that. Time to die, first rank.
Henry Cooldown
You're a disgrace to yourself and all those you've killed.

- While Suda refuses to confirm or deny whether or not the assailant who attacks Travis in the bad ending(and is then killed by Henry in the true ending) is Garcian, he says 'it'd be nice to see them fight'. The voice and body leave little room for debate, though.
- Suda and Genki Rockets'/Space Channel 5's Tetsuya Mizuguchi are close, hence 'Heavenly Star' being played at Naomi's shop.
- Travis' voice, Robin Atkin Downes, also voices Kazuhira Miller in MGS Peace Walker/Ground Zeroes/Phantom Pain. Like a damn fiddle, indeed.
- The sequel, Desperate Struggle, was NOT directed by Suda. He oversaw some plot elements, but has said the gameplay came first, and feels the story of the first is better.
- Suda feels that Travis' story concluded in 2, but there's still room for more to happen in the NMH universe.
- This was Masafumi Takada's last OST work for GHM. NMH2 was not composed by him.
- Margaret Moonlight and Alice Twilight from NMH2 are likely shout-outs to Suda's Human games, Moonlight & Twilight Syndrome.
- Yūsuke Kozaki, character designer of Fire Emblem Awakening, designed NMH1 & 2's cast.
- Suda loves him some luchador wrestling, hence all the collectible masks(see also: Killer7's Mask de Smith).
