Guess this is price matching Best Buy? Anyways, great price. Really liked the demo and now have this preordered.

There have been several changes to the game from the original Wii version. The main differences between the two iterations are:

* High-definition graphics
* English (everywhere) and Japanese (Asian territories only) voice acting.
* An unlockable "Very Sweet" Mode, which depicts Sylvia Christel, Shinobu, Holly Summers, Bad Girl and Jeane wearing more "appealing" attire.
* Ability to stock up to three Dark Side mode charges, rather than having it activate immediately, like in the original.
* Unused Dark Side mode charges left over in the player's stock at the end of a Ranking Battle rewards Travis Touchdown with additional LB dollars (as was the case with unused Anarchy in the Galaxy stocks in the original version).
* The song, "Heavenly Star", by the Genki Rockets was removed.
* Ability to warp straight to any Side-Job or Assassin Mission once the player has beaten any of them at least once.
* A retry option was added to the Side-Jobs, Assassin Missions, and Free Fights. However, it only appears when the player has failed in either.
* Five new Side-Jobs were added: Signaling, Sign Spinning, Kitty Race, Bust A Coconut and People Bowling.
* Five new Assassin Missions were added; Guard Break, Power-Down Battle, Big Bang Anarchy, Shortcake Freaks and Crowded Train Carnage.
* Five extra bosses from No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle are available to fight at certain points in the game. These are Skelter Helter, Nathan Copeland, Kimmy Howell, Matt Helms and Alice Twilight.
* Players are now able to revisit Ranking Fights and cinematics from Travis' motel room armchair, in the form of nightmares and dreams.
* A "Score Attack" mode has been added that lets the player refight all 15 of the game's bosses and compete for a high score online. This is also the only way for players to refight all of the NMH2 extras as they don't appear in nightmare mode.

Very nice. Thanks for the heads up!

They just dropped the price today to $29.99, instead of the MSRP of $39.99.

They also just added a little blurb about exclusive pre-order DLC:

Amazon Exclusive Pre-order Offer
Pre-Order No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise and get the Amazon exclusive Cross Saver weapon and Moto Magazine 2 bike. The code to access the exclusive content will be emailed to you shortly after the release date. Offer valid when shipped and sold by Amazon.com. This offer will be extended to all existing pre-orders. Limit one per household. Amazon reserves the right to change or terminate this promotion at any time.

The game will be released on August 16.

Great deal but I'm trying to hold off on it till it's on sale. I just know I'm going to spend too much this holiday, so savings now will help later.

They also have exclusive DLC for pre-ordering.

Someone got this a few minutes before you. May jump on it though. I read the description for the Amazon DLC but does anyone whose played the games previously how useful they would actually be?

Supposedly, the Cross Saver is the best DLC weapon but the last weapon in-game is still better.

Yep. Pretty sure the Amazon preorder DLC is the best so if the preorder bonus is the deciding factor for anyone, Amazon is the best place to get it.

Purchased - thanks OP!

Also, felt I should mention this in case anyone wasn't sure, the US version of Heroes' Paradise IS fully uncensored, unlike the Japanese version that was released last year.

Wow... $10 off MSRP. I'm not sure why, but this deal gave me an erection...

Personally, I played it with the DS3 and thought it played just fine. People say that it's much better with the Move but I didn't mind the controller at all. In order to do finishing kills, you need to click the R3 button and then move it in the direction the screen prompts. With as much enemies as there are in the game, I can see that getting pretty monotonous, but honestly it didn't bother me much. My opinion on that might change over the course of a full game though.

And yes, the game is pretty nuts.

You have issues...

Had a little more than $30 in BB GC and RZ certs, so I got the game for Free from them.

Been waiting for this for awhile, but after playing the demo, I can't decide if I should just get a used copy for the Wii. My Move setup makes it difficult to distinguish between 'high' and 'low.'

The PS3 version is far superior.

anyone know if this game is 2 player (offline). have a feeling the gf might wanna play this with me if it is.
