MadWorld headed to Japan, not being published by Sega

Even though Sega was kinda proud of MadWorld's initial sales performance, the company has decided it won't handle publishing duties for a Japanese version of the game. Famitsu reports that the game will be available in Japan sometime this Winter courtesy of Spike, a company well-versed in violent video games. Hopefully it won't get a crash course in lackluster sales.

I thought the Japanese didn't want this, though?

I thought the same thing too, but they liked some new sword game that has features controls and an art style identical to Madworld.
