No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise slicin' fools on PS3 this fall

by Ben Gilbert on Jan 10th 2011 2:30PM

No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise was oddly placed (misplaced?) on a PlayStation 3 2011 "exclusives" list, and given a tentative release window by the US PlayStation blog: "fall 2011." Last we heard, the up-rezzed third-person brawler was heading to PlayStation 3s at some point in 2011, but now we know the game won't arrive until the back half of the year.

"But why," you ask, "is a port of a 2007 Wii title taking so very long to bring to the PlayStation 3?" Besides making the graphics look much, much nicer, and adding Move support, a handful of No More Heroes 2 content will make its way into the PS3 re-release. We're also hoping that developer AQ Interactive is secretly working on more wacky TV shows for Travis Touchdown to flip through, but we're not holding our breath.

I'll buy it if there's a chance. 2011 is full of games =[

@Meghterb1985

What happened to the 360 version? Wasn't this announced as multiplatform by Suda 51? I want Kinect support.

@ItsameMatt03

It is multiplatform, but the publisher who is doing the English port is only publishing a PS3 version.

@ItsameMatt03

Kinect is stupid, get used to it

@superfrattyassstoner

Screw you asshole.

Life killer 7, I missed this title. Perhaps I can finally pick this up this time around.

@atriux I got Killer 7 on Ebay for like $10 last year. i still have not taken it out of the package. I will eventually though.

@atriux

I had some pretty damn high hopes for Killer 7 when it came out on Gamecube. Damn shame it didn't live up to them.

@atriux

Doesn't mean you can't still get it. I picked up the original on Wii for about $10.

From that picture the game has lost all of its art style.

The baseball stadium is one of the games greatestest bosses if it looks like that I'd rather not play it at all. Straight port would have been much better.

@Jack Kevorkian

PS3 graphics, same Wii head. it just looks out of place haha.

@jph89 I hope that is a bullshot and not in game graphics. I hate the way it looks so bad. NMH was nothing without its art style.

@Jack Kevorkian

What are you guys talking about. It's the same "art style" that was on the Wii but at a higher res. I pray I don't have to hear this argument when the team Ico collection is near release.

Its on my "Must buy list", though more cause its a move title.

Im actually hoping it'll have a move-title price. :P

I'll be sitting on my toilet waiting for this release.

@ilduce620

Well you do have the word "duce" in your username.

Wii is the only place to experience No More Heroes.

@Co

Who let the PR guy into the comments?

@Co

I don't get it

I guess I don't know what "much, much nicer" means cause it doesn't look that much better. Shinier sure. But not your so called much, much nicer. gtfo lol. Graphic Ores FTL. Game looked awesome before and only slightly better now. But whatev.

@Exz1stence

Seeing games in motion is where you'll typically see the biggest difference. Same goes for Move controls ... you can't see better controls in a screen shot.

@Exz1stence ttis game looks like utter shit roasting in my mouth. I have a hard time believing Suda would be happy about this abortion.

@Jack Kevorkian

How about just shutting your mouth on the subject, instead of spewing out more roasted shit from it.

@Jack Kevorkian

Wow, you are so classy.

@Jack Kevorkian

And your father should have shot the load containing you, down your mother's throat.

@MSKilla aka Sony4Life
Hi guys. I just wanted to pop in to say that this is one of the dumbest bitchfests I have ever seen in a comments section. Ever.

@Lucky48
Yeah and you said Tmac?
seriously try good old "holier-than-thou" Sprinkles !!!
....
ah!.....the good old days...

Is it odd to wonder why they ported the first game and not just start with the sequel in the first place? Is there story continuity or something going on?

Hopefully this will sell decent enough to merit bringing Muramasa & Madworld over to the PS3.

???

Three completely different games from three different companies.

@thisredengine

It's only two companies and two of the games are similar ports.

Marvelous Entertainment (Muramasa: The Demon Blade & No More Heroes amongst others like Arc Rise Fantasia & Little Kings Story) has expressed interest in bringing their Wii exclusive catalogue to PS3. It's a pretty logical progression that if Platinum / Sega see's No More Heroes on PS3 as successful they'd consider porting Madworld over as well since the two games have very similar subject matter and could both benefit from Playstation Move controllers. It's possible a compnay like Marvelous would port and publish it for them if they thought it'd be successful. SEGA ended up porting Yakuza 3 over to PS3 in North America after fans petitioned and because of the sales they have said they will also bring Yakuza 4 over to North America. It's really not that long of a stretch to think Madworld could end up here on PS3 if NMH is successful. If Marvelous is bringing over No more Heroes maybe we'll see the rest of their Wii exclusive catalogue make an appearance. I'd love me some little kings story and muramasa.

Another Move game I will buying this year.

Day one buy for me.

Just keep stoking my No More Heroes boner, and I'll keep buying.

yeah, move sucks. that thing cant even produce original games meant for the hardware. ill stick to what i've been saying about sony. "sony just cant support new hardware on there system, that comes out a few years later"

happened with dual shock on ps1
happen with eye toy on ps2
happening with ps move.

ps move will be fully fleshed out when ps4 comes out.

@rahnyc4

They've done a pretty good job so far with original games that encompass most genres as well as getting it put into other titles. Little Big Planet 2, Dead Space 2 & Killzone 3 are all launching in the near future and all have Move support. That game Sorcery is looking pretty solid and we haven't really seen the full list of 3rd party titles yet. I say give it a little more time. Right now I'm using it for Sports Champions & MAG though I hear it also works with Resident Evil 5 & Heavy Rain.

I think someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

@rahnyc4
You mean on "their" system... if you want to discredit a multibillion dollar company, do it grammatically correct.

It isn't a mistake I'm afraid. The 360/PS3 port of the Wii title No More Heroes (That was originally planned for the Xbox 360 but later shifted development to the Wii) will only see a PS3 release in North America.

Gotta wonder what lunatics are running that company.

@Anticrawl

It's probably because its a lot easier to integrate move controls into the game than it is kinect. Do you really think it would sell that much better on 360?

@Johnnynumber5 is powered by cell

............. it doesn't have anything to do with Move? The game has already released on both the PS3 and 360 in Asian territories. I was thinking about importing the 360 version as it ALREADY has an English option.

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-br-49-en-70-3n75.html

Yep, english dubs in the Japanese release.

@Anticrawl

Wow that is stupid.

I want a TV show, or Web show of Travis Touchdown, and I want one episode to be just him on the can talking to his cat.

I'll just wait until the price drop -- I think it's going to be like Majin & The Forsaken Kingdom or Enslaved when it was released: Completely buried by all the other games that came out the same time.

Suda51 can't buy a break. :(

@andrewpoe
Can he even buy a steak?

Damn, If I was releasing anything other than hack related news or some super awesome XBLA event that will totally knock your socks off, or any news about the 3DS, I would hate to be dropping any other gaming news.

I mean, what's the deal here? Is anything interesting going on, or are we going to have to take a whole year of this PR biz?

I would like some gaming news mixed in from time to time though.

The PS3 refresh looks great; I love the lighting improvements and higher-res textures. Can't wait to play with the Move controls!

Here's another vote for an "HD" version of Killer 7 and Madworld!

I still feel dumb for importing the japanese version of this game. I havent even started it yet :(
