No More Heroes was some of the most fun I've had on a console. The only game I've enjoyed more on the Wii was Super Mario Galaxy. I don't know why anyone would play NMH with anything besides a Wiimote, though. 75% of the fun of the game is swinging your controller around wildly to hit combos and then jacking off to recharge its energy.
I've always wanted to play this, but I don't even remember how to turn my wii on :P Seriously, it looks badass... but I wonder how controls will change.
@Showmeyomoves!: The motion tech has been in studios for a while now so it's possible to have it in games long before the actual tech hits store shelves. It may simply be a box bullet point of "Supports Natal" or "Supports wand"
@Witzbold: No More Heroes on the Wii was one of the best games for that system. I loved that game; so much personality in it.
Glad to see it coming to PS3, but I'm kinda worried as to how it'll play. Hopefully it'll use the new motion controller. Either way I'll definitely pick it up. #nomoreheroes
@Witzbold: I didn't know it was censored in Japan. That's too bad. Kind of odd as well; I didn't really see it as overly violent or anything. But that could just be my desensitized-to-violence, American viewpoint speaking. #nomoreheroes
@bakagaijin: Only place it wasn't censored was in the US. We got blood. Japan and Europe got black smoke and cartoony deaths that didn't really do the scenes justice.
...on the other hand, Europe and Japan did get a moment of boob that the US didn't get. #nomoreheroes
@Witzbold: I find it funny that the nation that made... EVERY SAMURAI MOVIE EVER and Ichi the Killer (not to mention Elfen Lied and Berserk) censors violence in video games.
Though, now, Anime seems to be getting censored too... At least, from what I've seen... Umineko is getting the murders blurred or mosaiced out. That may just be for the TV release, like the black blood and lack of sound effects in School days. #nomoreheroes
what would be awesome is the choice of controls. if one wants to use motion controls, fine. and if one wants to use tradtional controls, fine as well. i just hope there are options.
Is this PS3/360 version coming westward? *drools* oh no... I accidentally drooled over Shinobu while trying to find Sylvia. Crap *looks out for Chris Hansen
Also: with the Assassin's shown it looks like NMH1 with an HD gloss. Yay! Two copies of the same game for me... one just... looks better?
I really don't know how to take this. A part of me is delighted of a Suda touch to the 360/PS3 and another part is a little dismayed.
I really rather have a completely new series instead of a port/redo/whatever from the Wii.
To me, NMH is a Wii game, it fits on the Wii and it's a great game for the Wii. It suits the Wii, it's perfect for the Wii, it utilizes the Wiimote well...
Instead of Suda wasting his time pandering to a loud bunch of fanboys claiming that anything ported from the Wii to the 360/PS3 will AUTOMATICALLY become the bestest thing EVARS! (Not calling anyone out, I've seen them on the forums...-_-;).
I believe Suda's energy should just be spent on just making something for the 360/PS3 and NMH should remain on the Wii.
@Rachel Fogg: I agree with that sentiment, so you're not alone.
No More Heroes has established itself as a Wii game; it just doesn't fell right to shift gears and move to other consoles just to display hi-def visuals. I honestly hope that it's a new unique game that intends to use Natal or the Wand in some other manner, not a port that has found a way to mimic holding a Wiimote.
In the end, we might just be looking at a spin-off game featuring NMH characters. #nomoreheroes
@Rachel Fogg: I agree. There's just something about NMH on the Wii- the graphical and technical flaws all feel like they're a kind of wink wink, nudge nudge intentional sort of thing, whereas imperfection on the 360/PS3 means WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR GRAPHICS from most reviewers.
Also, a game like NMH just has to be played with a device called the "nunchuk." #nomoreheroes
@Rachel Fogg: I totally agree with you. No More Heroes series was born on the Wii and should stay on the Wii. Suda51 is a genius with great ideas, and I'm sure he can do a lot with the PS3/360, and not just a port of NMH.
And for what I saw on the scans @havoc19: posted ([wiieveryday.blogspot.com]), It seems the game is just a port from the original NMH with some extras. It's really a shame.
@Rachel Fogg: It seems you are not alone. Not only is this a better fit for the Wii( as Killer 7 was for Gamecube) but it's just going to get lost amongst the PS3 and 360 games. #nomoreheroes
I mean, when I think of Wii nowadays I refer to Muramasa and NMH, they're like the first things. Of course there's like Galaxy and stuff....LOL!
But NMH is a Wii game, it feels RIGHT on the Wii. Would it look prettier on the PS360? Sure, but that don't make it better. Besides, I much rather swing a Wiimote then press a button with a game like this.
Of course there's like Natal and the Sony Dildo er WAND -_-;, but then it's just going to end up being NMH-ech dee.
In the end, it's wasted money, time and energy on a fancy port...instead of that valuable stuff on a PS360 game made to those two consoles strength.
There's just some games that should STAY exclusives, y'dig? #nomoreheroes
LOL! Thank you, I mean I'm not saying that any series should stay put on the system it was born on (ala Final Fantasy and others). But some SHOULD. This is one of them.
Honestly, are all the complainers going to line up to buy this....NMH with HD flavour if and WHEN it comes out? How will this iteration stack up to the other HD hacknslash funs coming out on the PS360 later next year?
Suda has found a following with NHM on the Wii, he should work on expanding and making that work there and work on making something new for the PS360 strengths. Ergo we all win and he's not stretched to thin.
I don't want half worked/hearted Suda, I want my hungry sexy Suda!! :cough: #nomoreheroes
@Rachel Fogg: i agree with all of you. also, suda expressed his thoughts on the 360/ps3 long ago, and after that, he even said himself that if hes gonna make another no more heroes after the next one,its most likely to be for wiihd. so i just have a feeling it wont happen. also, like everyone said,its a game born to be played with the wiimote and nunchuck. even if sony releases its motion controller, they have to remember that his is going to be a peripheral and not the main controller.
something i have to mention. its funny how many wiihaters laugh at this cause of its design,then they praise the game when rumors of it coming to ps3/360. then when suda said nope, but for wiihd, then they started hating again. and then now this rumor re-appears,and now they arent talking bad about the game. just shows just how ignorant many wiihaters are.
It's not like I don't want NMH, I do...but if I REALLY want it, I'll get a Wii.
As it stands, I only own a PS3 and I love my console very much. There are several games that are on the Wii and 360 that I would want...but I feel too much homogenization (I could TOTALLY be using that word wrong -_-;) would only make things boring.
Suda-san, if you're listening, DON'T DO IT!! MAKE SOMETHING ELSE FOR THE PS360!!
You're a talented and hungry man, don't get Kojima-ed. #nomoreheroes
Well Wiihaters are no different the any other hater. Haters are going to hate, hell I used to be a avid Wiihater until recently when I discovered that I'm bloody 25 years freakin old.
:I'm a big girl now!:
However, this isn't really a discussion about the pros and cons of a console, the Wii is a great console and NMH is a great game for it. They melded together in a wacky harmony, if Suda is comfortable about bringing some of that over to us PS360 peeps. Then I can't refuse him.
In the end, all that matters is that we all share in a great game.
LOL! Well I wouldn't say less then stellar, it'll look great on the PS360....
But it wouldn't FEEL right for some reason, I just attach NMH to the Wii seamlessly....when I think of it going to the PS360. There's like a bump in there.
Wii+NMH=Great fit!
NMH+PS360=Err...yeah?
I'm afraid that NMH might get lost in the shuffle and since no one here (I believe) has tested out Natal or the Wand. I really don't have a bucket load of hope.
I looked at it and said, "He's been starred....like...a pony."
I can't say it matches your eyes because your eyes are hidden, but if your eyes are the colour of Starburst Yellow....that's kinda sexy. :kink 67: #nomoreheroes
@Rachel Fogg: I here ya'. As for me though, this announcement pretty much eliminated the last lingering threat of a Wii entering my home. #nomoreheroes
@Rachel Fogg: Now, I'm the opposite. I think this is absolutely wonderful. NMH was one of those games that I wanted to play sooooooooo badly, but I never wanted to get a Wii. It just didn't seem worth it to get one for NMH and, like, 2 other games. This move, imo, opens up Suda's genius to a larger audience, the PS3 and Xbox crowd. I also think whatever unique "waggle" functions were had on the Wiimote, namely the "recharge" motion, could translate nicely over to a Sixaxis/Dualshock 3. I don't know about how it would work on Xbox, but mind you, I'm a selfish PS3 owner lol.
I just see this as a chance to play a game I've wanted to for a long time by a developer I have a great deal of respect for.
Sure, he'll work some really special magic for the PS3/Xbox crowd in the future. It's inevitable. But for now, I think we can all enjoy him spreading some of his Wii-flavored magic to all of us that might not wanna spend the $250 on Nintendo's little white box for one game. :)
And sorry for being late to the conversation party. Just figured I'd throw my two cents in. :B
@Rachel Fogg: well its good to see that there is someone like you that looks at all 3 console and what each can offer. most people would choose one console and just hate the other. and yeah, many of the gamers should be a big boy now, and in many cases a big girl as well XD
@Rachel Fogg: I've got all three consoles, and really, it's not as awesome as one would think. A complicated series of events led to me getting two 360's, and both RRoD'd. I sent them in and they both worked, then one RRoD'd again.
My PS3 stopped reading discs a few weeks ago (it also refused to play my Japanese Bayonetta demo!), when I was almost done with Persona 3 (and ever so close to being all over Mitsuru) and in the middle of a New Game+ of Persona 4. I started saving up for a used PS2 until I discovered the super-secret recovery console.
Multiple systems = more tech support. If I didn't have a sibling with action-y gaming tastes, I would probably be sticking with a PS3.
ROFL! No it's cool...I was up really late at night for this.
There's nothing wrong with wanting this game too. NMH is fun and exciting, I supposed it's something that SHOULD be on the multiple consoles...but at the same time. I'm afraid for it.
The PS360 has ALOT of games with HacknSlash type feels and it's coming out supposedly in the middle of that fuckcluster.
I fear that what was suited for the Wii will be slighted and marked down once it's on the PS360.
"It's not XXXX resolution!"
"Gameplay SUCKORZ!"
"I don't get it, it's stupid anime crap!"
"Not enough belts and zippers! HAR HAR!"
I'm only quoting from forums...and of course there are fans of the PS360 that aren't like that. Still...it's almost like dangerous ground for a Wii game to come over despite the whining of some players of a superior experience.
Maybe I'm just a worry wort, but this gen has really made me one.
I hope that the game is wonderful and I'm damn sure willing to spend money to support Suda. It's just my feelings.
@Rachel Fogg: As far as I can tell, though, NMH has enough of its own personality, what with the story and art style and general experience that it has a great chance of standing out on its own, especially if the publisher backs it with some decent marketing and advertising.
Well, best thing to remember is that there's not much we can do about it now. As worried as some might be about the quality of the transition, it's a done deal. We PS360 owners might as well enjoy our upcoming romp through Santa Destroy :D
If this does end up being a port, I hope it's a good one. Seeing the game come out on the 360 to either bomb or to leave everyone wondering what the big deal was about would be awful.
The original was fantastic, and used the motion controls wonderfully. I'm not sure how well the game would translate to traditional controls, and Natal and its lack of a physical interface would be even worse.
Please, don't let this be the death of the series on the Wii. #nomoreheroes

There's something about the non HD graphic for NMH that just...works.

I just don't think it would.

11/17/09

Yeah, I just saw the scans too, and I'm a sucker for black chicks with white hair (curse you Storm!!!).
My brother called it, he said "If it jumps ship it better come with goodies..."
Now I'll have to tell him.
Nevertheless, is lieu of this news...I'm still a little wary. But I want to support Suda very much....such is the conundrum of gaming these days.
What to do. #nomoreheroes

It's pretty liberating, actually.
And funny thing is I was always a little envious of the single console owner in previous generations.
For better or worse I'm enjoying the ups and downs of rooting for a single team this gen.
Now as long as Aksys Games doesn't get ahold of the U.S. publishing rights...otherwise us PlayStation 3 owners are fucked. #nomoreheroes
11/17/09
I too had as many as you...I sold them and kept the ones that survived the Thunderdome. My Dreamcast, my PS2 (phat) and my PS3 60 gig.
I frankly have no room for any other console now.
I agree on Aksys....just, cross our fingers. The way this gen has been for us, you never know WHAT'S going to happen now. #nomoreheroes

LOL! Thank you.
Really, it just happens, you start out being a Sony supporter and then...the hate enters you....consumes you. :evil voice:
But in the end, I realized that Sony did ALOT of shitty things this gen, far too many for me to ignore.
Sony wasn't alone in the failroad...MS and Ninty did some things too. As well as numerous game companies....*coughSEcough*
Once I realized that everyone was great and fallible. My hate lessened.
I love Sony, I love my PS3, I come from a Sony lover household...but that by no means are they perfect and everything else is crap.
It's all about balance. And maturity...
11/18/09
See, that's ANOTHER reason why I didn't want like a bazillion consoles, I wanted a next gen system and I wanted a PS3 more then everything.
I wasn't a fan of the 360 or Wii, at the time I didn't see anything that I wanted from either system. Now...it's no longer the same.
But I still only have the PS3...and really, it's all I need. I can't afford anything else outside of its games....LOL!
11/18/09
