Or we would, had Kotaku Heavy Industries been attending the game's Japanese launch party instead of alternatively stuffing our faces with turkey or rocking out on Rock Band. See, not only did Yasuhiro Wada turn up for some free drinks and a go on the final build of the game, but all attendees were given a parting gift. Toilet schwag.

...what? What is the point of this toilet paper?!
BEST POST EVER.
next thing you know..you'll be wiping your ass with Americas Most wanted printed on every single sheet. Hey..I better start printing.
Thats kinda creepy. Think about shoving that No More Heroes guy's face up your ass.
@Kaljin: To remind internet commenters like us about this game, and to get us to discuss the game in comment sections and message boards in a hope to sell more copies.
Or, to be really simple, the point of the toilet paper is to wipe your ass.
is it just me ..or does anyone else realize the potential in advertising on toilet paper rolls.?
@Kaljin: If you don't know what toiler paper is used for, I hope I never meet you in real life. If you're asking why they made this, it's probably just a sort of pun on how you save in the game by taking a dump.
lol only in Japan. Me want in on that. Anyone know what kind of paper it is?
i wonder if i use this and then something happens later in the day, would i be able to press some kind of quit game and restart the last time i used this paper on my butt thats as soft as a babies butt (incase you wanted to know)
@shindokie: I could always use more knowledge of your asscrack, bud.
lol @ title
sounds like "we no longer wipe our ass with heroes" finally switching to gold bricks are we?
NO MORE DOODOO, Subliminal messages. Hmm?
@RRoD: You're absolutely correct! Think of it. Wouldn't it be cool to wipe you bum with an ad for AXE.
@shindokie: Picking up Rock Band on Sunday. I'll be back on PSN by December 12th.
We shall rock.
@TheDollHouse: Well, your crack would smell nice, I suppose...
@ChickenOfTheSea:
fuck! im sending my ps3 in because ive been having freezing issues. i should be getting it around that time though. dont forget to add me, the request should still be there. also my crack... what else you want to know.
@TheDollHouse: it would give a whole new meaning to their new "dirty" ads
With it, you can now wipe your ass in style.
I have been looking forward to this game ever since it was announced. If it turns out to be a good game, then Wii owners better support it especially when they've been complaining that there are not enough must-have third-party titles.
JESUS FUCK, I WANT THIS!
@RRoD:
Yes. It's a medium that people use everyday, hopefully. But I could see problems with people associating advertised products with their own excrement, and I can't think of any company that wants that.
@TheDollHouse: yes it would or..better yet..a picture of your ex?..or in laws?
@shiwasu: well..take for example a missing person list ..you could have a toilet paper roll of missing people in your area! or pets.
Quick, somebody mail this to jack thompson, it would sure make his day.
@RRoD:
Hm... there's something unsettling about putting crap on missing people's faces, but on the other hand, if said missing people ever run into a public toilet, they'd know their family would be looking for them.
I'm sure Jack will be happy to know that the North American version of the game will feature all of the original blood and gore. :)
The European Version will also offer the same.
I have a bad feeling that most Japanese Wii gamers will end up ignoring No More Heroes as they don't seem to be interested in picking up original titles like NMH despite its heavy otaku influences. I'll be very surprised if it manages to sell reasonably well over there and even in the United States too.
I'm not sure if it will hurt the game's reputation that that only the Japanese version's blood and gore was censored.
@Retribution: "Quick, somebody mail this to jack thompson, it would sure make his day."
I'd rather someone mail me a roll of toilet paper with Jack Thompson's face printed all over it. I'd use it for sure.
@shiwasu: firing up the printing press at once!
@RRoD: ah the printing press, an invention sensationalized for printing the bible, the world's first portable toilet paper booklet.
also good for a read, if you think skewering minorities alive is a good idea...
@death_is_the_spice_of_life: now u bring a good point about the bible...sure would give people something else to catch up on.!
At least it's a practical gift...
@death_is_the_spice_of_life:
let's not go there, shall we?
This post reminds me....need tobuy toilet paper tomorrow... and No More Heroes in February.
Awesome gift.
@death_is_the_spice_of_life: Don't be hatin' the Bible 'cause you're damned for eternity.
No More Heros my ass!
More like No More Hemorroid, am I right?
They really need to make toilet paper for games like Superman64 and Pac-man for the atari 2600.
Jack Thompson toilet paper was made a long time ago but I'm sure many would still love to rub themselves where the sun don't shine with the face of our favorite anti-gaming voice.
@RRoD: I agree completely. Much better than pop-up ads, that's for sure!
Foreshadow or what?...I hope not.
@Intrepid_Homoludens:
im sure that if kotaku was to print toilet paper with jack thompsons face on it, they would be sued, i dont know that that really needed to be said, as it's obvious. But oh wouldn't they be daring to do it.
Best. Swag. Ever.
I really think this is a parody of the promotional crap (teehee) that gets handed out for other games. And it's perfect. Turning forums into madness and making me laugh.
@RRoD:
Wow thanks for the idea! Sadly I think Google will beat me to monetizing this idea before someone like me will :(
@Kaljin:
When you save your game in No More Heroes, you see main character Travis Touchdown sit on the toilet, presumably to drop a deuce. Hence the toilet paper as a gag promo item/funny reference.
Finally, some shwag that's actually useful.
@RRoD: They actually do this already:
[www.printedtp.com]
Expensive shit (heh) though...
BRILLIANT! simply marvelous! I would love to see other video game companies take hold of the toilet paper market =D
Thats sick. And not in the good way.
id rather wipe my ass with the game. haa jk
Personally, I'd rather wipe with paper that has something I don't like on it, such as the RIAA toilet paper from Jinx. Go look it up if you're curious.
It's too good to actually use.
So...what's the review? Too hard? Easy to pick up and use? Or does it feel like you're touching a turd?
@DELETED: You'd better damn be joking, boy.
It would appear that the game's bosses are printed on the toilet paper itself. And with Travis touchdown the one on the toilet in the picture.
You could say he is, 'wiping his ass' with the competition.
