No More Heroes PS3 gets US release

By Fred Dutton Published 26 October, 2010

New Move control scheme, bosses added.

No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise – an HD revamp of Suda51's Wii action adventure – will hit US stores in 2011 with Move compatibility and new content.

Originally published by Rising Star in the UK and Ubisoft in the US, Konami has taken over the reins this time out.

For the uninitiated, No More Heroes sees you guide arch-jerk Travis Touchdown to the top of Santa Destroy's assassin leaderboard, by slicing your way though hordes of goons with a glowing neon sword.

The Wii original scored a commendable 8/10 at the hands of Eurogamer's Tom Bramwell back in 2008.

Whereas the original saw you swinging away with the Wii Remote, Heroes Paradise adds Move and Dualshock 3 support. PlayStation gamers will also get a handful of new boss fights too.

Grasshopper Manufacture's remake has already hit Japanese shelves, but failed to make much of an impact.

A European release has not been confirmed as of yet, neither has an Xbox 360 version, despite the fact that one launched in Japan.

    Chairman Mao is right, the PAL release was announced two months ago (and I'm pretty sure I read about it right here on EG). The only uncertainty was whether it was also coming to North America.

    It should also be noted that this will NOT be the same game as the Japanese release, which was a straight-up port of the Wii game - no extra content, no Move support (which obviously makes a huge difference).

    Not that I'm against motion control, but I was still hoping to see this on Xbox.

    A proper lightsabre game in disguise? Make it one to one swordfighting and I'm in. Piss poor wii twitch to slice, no thankya.

    This could be really great, IF they take the time to properly upgrade the graphics and the control fidelity. A straight port in HD would be pretty easy to ignore IMO.
