No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise coming to PS3 and 360.

[SuperPhillip]

According to Famitsu. I think scans are out there somewhere.
I'll post them as soon as I find them.

From the scans looks a tad better than the Wii version.

[cochesecochese]

Excelente. So that will be the third (and fourth if I get all anal retentive at the checkout) time I buy this game.

Release date?

[The Crotch]

So what's the deal? Remake?

'Cause I'd kill a kitten for a Letz Shake-based prequel.

[RelentlessRolento]

yep, this is the nail in the coffin for me... My wii is getting sold right after NMH2 and Monster Hunter Tri.

[CaptainJoel]

Are you fucking kidding me? I FEEL BOTH BETRAYED AND HAPPY AT THE SAME TIME!!! I will definitely pick it up on 360.

[LostRoad]

Eh cool I guess. I like it on the Wii, but if more people are able to play it, that is not a bad thing.

[SuperPhillip]

yep, this is the nail in the coffin for me... My wii is getting sold right after NMH2 and Monster Hunter Tri.

I wish I could sell my 360. :(

[bardockkun]

I Wonder if the finishing and wrestling moves are going to be done dual analog now or what. Eitherway I am intrigued since I bought NMH on launch and loved it.

[blitz6speed]

The ps3 motion controls can mimic 99% of the crap you do in the wii version. Plus i am sure Wand support will be there as well. I think this is just the beginning of failed wii games ported to the HD consoles, looking for success.

[Chibi_Kaji]

The only thing I could imagine doing with the PS3 motion controls is the High/low stance... not that I would want to use them to do that.

[pete5883]

Ehhhhh I don't know about this one. Without the waggle this is just a plain old beat-em-up with bad bosses and a good cutscene every half an hour.

[CaptainJoel]

I hope they'll add more missions and such to this, the first game only lasted me about 29 hours, IIRC. I'd like more different jobs to do or maybe more character skins.

Can we safely say this'll be out by next year? I'd really like to get it before next holiday season.

[Thomas96]

Sound good, I can't wait to play it. Now, I'm going to need for Vanillaware to stop playing go ahead and release Muramasa: The Demon Blade for PS3/360. It needs to happen.

[Dead of Knight]

Muramasa is incredibly overrated. You're not missing anything.

If NMH is any indication, you'll see it ported in 2012.

[Kaijufan]

I'm disappointed it's just a port and not a new game. When it was first announced and there was no info on it I was pretty excited, thinking it was a spinoff.

I'll pass, I've already played the Wii version. It was great, but not worth buying again on the 360.

[fyffem]

If it'll bring something new to the game or get more people playing it, awesome. The first game was fun and I'd love to have it build a stronger brand.

[Khalid]

Cool and what a coincidence, I was listening to an old CAGcast and they were talking about No More Heroes. I was telling myself it could be one of the next game I should play.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

YESSSSSS.

So happy!

[FriskyTanuki]

What a dumb name.

[Vinny]

I'm glad this series is coming to the PS3/360. I actually liked NMH but did not care about the motion controls one bit. I'm hoping there's an option to use a normal controller in this game. But I hope they actually take advantage of the hardware and don't make it a shoddy port...

Muramasa is incredibly overrated. You're not missing anything.

A lot of Wii games are overrated (Madworld, Muramasa, Conduit, etc.) IMO. It's more like Wii owners are just grateful that every once in a while, they get a semi decent game that doesn't involve stupid mini-games or shovelware. I can't even remember the last time I turned mine on.

[SuperPhillip]

Just like Halo, Gears, and Call of Duty are overrated shooters made and marketed for teenage boys and the lowest common denominator? Awesome! :)

Seriously, what a completely stupid post. haha

[The Crotch]

See, it's a reference to the first boss fight against Death Metal, where you and he are going on this long, Metal Gear Solid-esque philosophical ramble and...

Come to think of it, my explanation doesn't make it make any more sense.

If there are no more heroes, then how can there be a paradise for them?

Just calling it "No More Heroes" would've been fine for me.

[erehwon]

I really like the sound of this. No More Heroes is one of the few games I want for the Wii. There just aren't that many games for the Wii that really interest me, since I really like RPGs and some action games. The DS seems to get a lot more quality titles than the Wii.

DS gets more quality titles than everything imo.

[KingBroly]

I'm kinda doubting this comes stateside. It's full price in Japan for a 2 year old port. Yikes.

Ill check the game out since it's one of the Wii titles I was interested in. Hopefully they don't botch it.

Awesome comeback! LOLOLOLOL
Perfect CAG material here, dawg!
I guess hatred is acceptable, but liking a console (when it's not the PS3 or 360) isn't.
Are you 12? Please tell me you're 12. It's the only logical solution here to your juvenile stupidity.

There's a difference between having the Wii as a favorite console with losers constantly shitting on that opinion and having an unhealthy fixation for it. The sooner you separate those two, the sooner I stop talking to you like you're twelve.

Noone even really shat on it, they just expressed that they were happy that the game was coming to other consoles because they don't own a wii.



I don't have a wii, I'd like to get one eventually, but Im definitely glad that NMH is coming to ps3 and 360 because that means I get to play it sooner. Not owning something doesnt mean I hate it.

[FroMann]

Wait... Its a port of the Wii game to PS3 and 360? fucking awesome!!! This was one of the only few games I played on my Wii (and enjoyed) before I sold it. Just bring this to the US. PLEEAAAASSSEEEE!!!

Hatred? Who in this thread is filling over with hatred towards the Wii? You make it sound like were at some white supremacist meeting or something.
I really didn't see anyone shitting on the Wii. You set up the thread with the "Wii is aids" garbage, nobody else did. Now tell me, why would you do that? Then when someone's post even slightly dissed the Wii, you went on some lame shit about COD and 360 games being made for teenage boys and calling people stupid and retarded. All Thomas said was he wanted another Wii game ported, and you took that as he hated the hell out of the system. We get it. You love the Wii. Some people don't like the Wii. You don't have to defend it at every waking moment. That seems like an unhealthy fixation to me.

You're not helping against that argument, y'know?

Oh, no, I meant in general. Not this topic. My poor wording. No worries.

[sleepy180]

Thank god!

Hopefully it doesn't look TOO shitty on an HD tv.

After the dissapointment that was Smash Bros Brawl, i refused to buy anymore wii games ever again. Why i still have the system is because i'm too damn lazy to put it for sale on ebay. But despite this fact, there were a couple games I really wanted to play.

No More Heroes
Murumasa
Tatsunoko vs Capcom

Now there are only 2 games on the wii I want. Hopefully those others come to XBLA or something.

[Persona7]

I am going to rebuy it.

On 360 and PS3. And another brand new copy for wii, just because.

[dallow]

The direct feed screens are beautiful.

[Ryuukishi]

I need to go back and play this game some more, haven't touched it in the longest time. It's cool that it's coming to the other consoles. Maybe after I finish the Wii version I'll go through again on 360 for the Achievements. :)

[FroMann]

New screens on the web. Game looks better!

Considering you could only play it with waggle controls they were pretty important. But for the most part they could have easily been replaced with regular controls.

[SuperPhillip]

Very easily. Interested in double-dipping.

[Gothic Walrus]

One thing you should all be aware of - at least in Japan, the PS3 version of the game is censored (http://www.siliconera.com/2009/11/19/no-more-heroes-heroes-paradise-will-be-uncensored-on-xbox-360-only/). No Tarantino-esque violence overload for you.

Havent play the original but how important is motion control to the original game?

Very.

And the thing is, I don't know how the game is going to fare without them. It wouldn't be too hard to translate them to traditional controls, but the Wii controls did make the game more fun to play. Since there haven't been many (any?) good Star Wars games this generation, this is the closest thing there is to the lightsaber action game people dreamed about when the Wii was announced.

If you take the motion controls out (and let's face it, people - if it's coming out early next year, it probably won't support the "spring 2010" Wand and there's no way in hell it will support Natal), then you're left with a stylish third person brawler that's the definition of nice appeal. I also have a feeling that its shortcomings - an overworld that was dull and repetitive enemy types are the two big ones - are going to be magnified on systems where there's more competition in the hardcore market.

I have a feeling that this game is going to disappoint a lot of people, because the game's going to lose a lot of its charm without the motion controls. I also have a feeling that it's going to bomb - it's coming out at full price in Japan, and I just don't see enough demand to release it for $50 here.

The original Japanese Wii version was censored too. If it comes out in the US, the PS3 version will almost certainly have the same bloody fun as the other versions. Granted, even if it were censored, it wouldn't bother me.
I'll likely pick since I'm a huge fan of the original and have the wii sequel preordered.

[blitz6speed]

Chances are slim to none of it being censored in the US. And it is getting a US release, the US is the biggest market for NMH.

[Rocko]

Hopefully, the transfer to the 360 will allow the developers to make use of the open world environment of the game. Despite the open scenery, options were extremely limited, limiting the appeal of the game. Also, glitches in the original Wii version should be fixed. The game needs more than a graphic improvement to make it on the 360.
I agree about the open world, that part was kind of painful at times.

[The Crotch]

Well, it looks fuckin' nice. Just curious how it'll handle now.

[Vinny]

Those screens look great.

I hope so... it doesn't make sense to sensor one version but not the other (unless Sony requested their version be sensor...). I also hope they put the same amount of effort into both versions instead of building it around the 360, then porting it over to the PS3 (I'm looking at you SEGA).

[Thomas96]

I can't.... buy a Wii, I really don't like that system. I might try it out... once it drops to 99, but that's as far as I can go with that system. 99 dollars.

I agree with that last statement. I can play Murumasa on Wii. That doesn't bother me,but Tatsunoko VS Capcom really should be ps3/360. Also glad to see No More Heroes is coming to ps3/360. I'm not a fan of the game personally,but I'm glad everyone gets a chance to play it. No matter what there system of choice is.

[Rocko]

Are 360 games usually region free? I might have to import this instead of waiting for someone to release it in the US.

[KingBroly]

Depends on the title. I doubt this one will be, though. I also doubt it'll be in English.

[Rocko]

Language doesn't matter. I also highly doubt the game would be in English.

[dallow]

This one is sure to be locked, else I'd import it.
Wish Bayonetta was region free. :(

[FroMann]

Ubisoft dropped it for publishing? There are probably other publishers out to grab it.

[Gothic Walrus]

Ubisoft dropped it for publishing? There are probably other publishers out to grab it.

Between the Petz and Imagine games, Ubisoft puts out a lot of crap. It's crap that sells well, though. If Ubisoft doesn't want it, it's because they think that, even without the cost of development, the game still won't make a profit. And if Ubisoft doesn't think it's going to sell, then I'm not sure how many other publishers would be interested.

No More Heroes began as a niche title. Now, it's a two year old niche title with a new and possibly (probably?) inferior control scheme. It's a good game, but this wouldn't be the first time we've seen a good game fail spectacularly. This wouldn't be the first time it's happened to Ubisoft, either. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_Good_&_Evil_(video_game))

[dallow]

A niche title that did well for itself. More than I'm sure Ubi expected at the time.
There's no way this game won't make it here.

[whoknows]

I might give it a shot due to lack of waggle.

[Rocko]

I'm all for removing unnecessary motion controls ("waggle") from Wii games (NSMB, anyone?), but the motion controls in No More Heroes definitely enhanced the gameplay.

[ratzombie]

I agree, I enjoyed the motion controls and how they were implemented in NMH.

That being said, I'll gladly double-dip and buy the 360 port if we ever get it here.

"Well for itself" is relative - sales were okay but not exactly stellar (http://kotaku.com/356877/no-more-heroes-does-ok-in-america-probably-better-in-europe), and it's telling that Ubisoft thought it was necessary to bundle it with Red Steel to clear out remaining stock.

Exactly.100k in a month, and over 200K after a year (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5506061&postcount=510). His best (selling) game by far.

[Rozz]

I couldn't get into the original version on the Wii. If it were a straight up action game then it would have been great but the fact that the developers had to add a barren overworld and worthless side diversions ruined it for me.

That's pretty good considering No More Heroes was made on a shoestring budget.

Motion controls are gone. Is anyone surprised? (http://edge-online.com/features/interview-yasuhiro-wada-0)

Notice the emphasis on "relative" in the post. It may be Suda's best selling game, but Ubisoft? Those numbers pale in comparison to what some of the Petz and Imagine games for the DS pull in, and those titles would almost definitely have a significantly lower budget.

Not even Sixaxis support? Cant shake the controller to re-charge sword? Wrestle moves? Shake left or right for final attack? Oh well. The game looks great and makes up for lack of motion controls. Just bring it here sometime soon next year.

[Thomas96]

They should hold this game and release it along side Natal and the Sony motion controllers. Orrrrr... they just patch in the motion controls later on...

[SDC]

I'm pretty interested in this, as I loved NMH when I played it through on a friend's Wii.

Should I just import it for PS3? any chance of English text/VA being available? Do you guys think it will make it to America? Do you think the pre-order bonus will be worth anything? (And does Play-Asia usually ship those? NCSX mentions they will be, so if I do pre-order I'd be more inclined to do it there)
sorry for the billions of questions.

[Buuhan1]

Comes out in a few weeks. A trailer was released back in December I think which showcased Japanese voice work (for those who know who I'm talking about, Roronoa Zoro was Travis), however we've since gotten new videos and the game uses the original voice track from the Wii version. So I guess it was simply done for the trailer to appeal to the masses more.

Unfortunately the PS3 version is indeed the black-dust censored version.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il3Cnto5Lkc

[Vinny]

So... what's the word on the PS3/360 version making it over to NA? They're coming out in Japan soon, right?

[KingBroly]

Ubisoft won't publish it over here, and since they have the publishing rights for No More Heroes, it doesn't look good.

You could always just import the PS3 version if you wanted to play it that badly.

[Buuhan1]

I'm really tempted to even tho it's censored. The censored version isn't so bad if you look at it as a parody of old video games, which it is.

I have a Wii so I can play it on that but I really didn't care for the motion controls in the first and would definitely prefer a PS3 pad. Of course, I'm not sure how far the censoring goes so I might go for the 360 version.

[SuperPhillip]

I'd go with the 360 version. It's shaping up nicely!

More or less anything you kill, both canon fodder and bosses, turn into black dust instead of bisections, decapitations, etc... of course no blood splatter either. There is one death tho that is completely ridiculous in the censored version:
Holly Summers, instead of her head blowing up leaving a headless corpse behind... the head stays in tact but instead is completely dyed black from the explosion. Ever see Looney Toons? Same exact thing. Except, you know, she actually IS dead and it becomes face palm worthy due to Travis' drama following it.

Secondly, you don't cut Shinobu's hand off in the censored version, instead they make it seem you broke her wrist.
Other than that, it's in tact. All the cussing and fanservice is there.

Wait, so it's not that guy from Samurai Champloo doing the voices? I'll definitely snag a copy then. I hate that dude's voice.

[rocky435]

I'm going to wait for the import version to drop in price. I don't the wii version. It would be nice to find a list of trophies/achievements for it.

It would be more value if they added move/natal controls even it's later on. I enjoyed the wii controls and was at least hoping move control could be added. :cry: oh well such is life.

Does the 360 do this?, but i was reading that ps 3 with bayonetta(jap version) the game would make the trophies convert into English thus having readable names for them. This would help in buying the import version. ;)

I plan on getting a Wii just to play the original 2 games, however I do hope this one won't require you to use any motion controlls.
No More Heroes was the main reason I wanted a Wii, well, that and One Piece: Unlimited Adventure, but sadly I can't find that cheap anywhere. I bought a Wii late last year and NMH1 and NMH2 are the only games I own for it and so far only ones I've even played on the Wii. The Wii is basically not a video game system to me but instead "Something which allows me to play the No More Heroes series."

That's not to say I won't play other games eventually, but I just don't care to right now, especially considering most of the good ones (Like Super Mario Galaxy) are still quite expensive.

Basically, I spent $150 on a Wii to play these two games and I don't regret it, and I don't tend to make large purchases like that, so I can't encourage you enough to "DO IT".

I'm going to wait for the import version to drop in price. I don't the wii version. It would be nice to find a list of trophies/achievements for it.

It would be more value if they added move/natal controls even it's later on. I enjoyed the wii controls and was at least hoping move control could be added. :cry: oh well such is life.

I'm unsure, but it is sort of a moot point. The 360 release won't work on an American console.

New news? (http://www.siliconera.com/2010/06/18/no-more-heroes-heroes-paradise-hired-for-part-time-job-overseas/)

I believe Shane also outted Yakuza 3 and 3D Dot Game Heroes in the past when he was looking to publish those games.

[2DMention]

I saw the PS3 version in action at a friends house and the censorship is horrendous. Looks pretty, though.

You... got my hopes up for nothing.

[glemtvapen]

Whoever does the publishing in the end, I just hope they take out the censorship for the PS3.

I goddamn hope so.

[Buuhan1]

Of course they will, they wouldn't release it in the US with the censorship. The game would still be rated M due to the language and other elements even without all the blood and gore. The game was censored in Japan cause Japan has a strict rating on blood and gore, if a game has heavy blood and gore it receives a Z-rating, which is the MSRP's equivalent of an AO-rating, and just like in the US a lot of places in Japan don't stock AO/Z games. However here blood and gore doesn't get you stamped with an AO. And due to the language and such as I mentioned above, it's not like they could get the HD port to be rated T here, cause they can't.

It's a PS3 exclusive in North America and features the option to play with either the Dual Shock 3 or Move. The new features:

Aside from the side missions, players will also be able to enjoy newly added game modes like “Rebout Mode” where former foes can be challenged again. Also, players will have the opportunity to encounter additional boss characters that were not available in the original episode but will be on the PlayStation®3 version of the game. Additionally, “Viewer Mode” is also available allowing players to re-watch infamous cut scenes in crystal clear HD graphics. With its stunning visuals, additional levels of action, improved AI and an incredible level of control, No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise represents a welcome return for one of gaming’s most daring creators.

No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise is slated to release in 2011 exclusively for the PlayStation 3.

Well that's nice. Was hinted at by Shane B a couple months ago.

Saves me a Euro importtax.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

I approve of this!

[FroMann]

Make it the uncensored version and I will buy this day one. Do it Konami. DO IT.

[dallow]

It is the uncensored version.

[Owen]

I got the Japanese version after E3 since no one announced they were doing a US port then 2 months later it was announced another game convention. I really did not like a lot of the Wiimote controls of NMH but loved the Classic Controller version for NMH2 so I had to give the PS3 version a try and it is pretty good. There is a bug with the 480p display where it squashes the image so if Konami does a quick and dirty port this problem may end up being carried over. The 720p looks great though and really makes me hope they port NMH2.

[LinkinPrime]

Bummer, there goes my hope for it being on the X360...guess I'll pick up the PS3 version when I find it cheap.

[RelentlessRolento]

glad its official now... just hope blood is back in.

[LinkinPrime]

There's a bit of hope for the X360 still:

Fuji also indicated that Konami is at least considering a Kinect-enabled release on Xbox 360. "We have, and are still tossing around ideas for linking NMH with the Kinect for Xbox 360 gamers," he said, "but since the Kinect is such a unique device, it's a bit more difficult. This isn't to say that the Kinect is a poor interface by any means, but more that in its uniqueness it requires a bit more care and planning to bring Travis to the Xbox 360. So if we were to do so, we'd need more time."http://www.joystiq.com/2010/11/11/no-more-heroes-heroes-paradise-on-ps3-includes-bosses-from-no/

[dallow]

You didn't post the best news.

Konami actively fixing bugs and load times, and even adding bosses from NMH 2.

Kinect enabled? Lulz

[FriskyTanuki]

"We'd need more time" could mean it's a timed exclusive at best, but I don't know why anybody would want this as a Kinect game rather than a normal controller game.

[LinkinPrime]

It worked for the Wii...could be good for Kinect, if they have the time and resources to pull it off.

[Amblix]

Very good news, hope for updated Wii versions!

[dallow]

Have you played the game LP?

Unless it was controller plus Kinect it would not work. Even then....

[LinkinPrime]

No, I have not tried the game yet. I was just making an assumption :oops:

[cochesecochese]

adding bosses from NMH 2

Mood: Ambivalence.

If Konami is planning on putting some NMH2 bosses onto the disc they might as well just but both damn games on there.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Very good news, hope for updated Wii versions!

Let's not.
