Speaking in an interview with trade publication MCVUK, Grasshopper founder Suda 51 revealed that No More Heroes was initially planned as an Xbox 360 title.

Originally, I’d wanted to make this game for Xbox 360, actually. [Marvelous Interactive boss] Wada-san had information about the new Wii and how the new controller would work before it came out, so that’s why he thought I should produce the game on that format.

Suda took heed to Wada’s advice, creating the Wii version of No More Heroes. In the end he was happy with his decision, stating that developing the title on Wii was a “good choice and the controller works really well with the game.”

No More Heroes began life on 360, says developer [MCVUK]
