@RabiesBaby, though No More Heroes was never really written about as though it would have 1:1 sword controls, a game that has 1:1 sword controls would most likely sell better than a game that does not have 1:1 sword controls. So, in short, I believe Gaara42's point does still have some importance: 1:1 sword controls would have boosted the sales of this title making it more likely to meet higher predictions.
On the other hand, even though it does not have 1:1 sword controls, it still has a more complex fighting system than just "waggle" your Wii-mote to the left and right to slash the sword (as I mentioned in my earlier comment of the feature from the Holiday issue of Nintendo Power, in which it was stated that the Nintedo Power guys had already gotten to play through the entirety of a pre-release version of No More Heroes).
