ESRB details No More Heroes PS3/360 News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

30 November, 2009

The ESRB has described in juicy detail the mature moments of No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise, the recently revealed PS3 and Xbox 360 enhancey-port.

The US voluntary ratings board has decided that a mature label is appropriate and has ticked the Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity, Sexual Themes and Strong Language boxes.

"The depictions of violence in the game are intense, yet somewhat exaggerated," begins the description.

"Men in black suits are sliced in-half as blood and money flow from their bodies; an assassin with a boombox does not recover after his lower torso has been chopped off - after blood shoots from his empty waist like a geyser; and two women (clad in bikinis) get suspended in mid-air, get caught between the flashing lights, lasers, and frenetic sword swipes of an assassins' duel - the women's heads slide across the floor once the men stop fighting."

The description confirms the return of in-anime Bizarre Jelly, and warns us that there may be innuendo-laden language and scantily clad women on the menu. Phrases such as "The one that's throbbing" and "I feel like that pervy teacher in a porn" are present and women wear low-cut tops, bondage-style outfits and their controversial parts "jiggle".

No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise was confirmed for PS3 and Xbox 360 earlier this month, and will be released in Japan in February.

"Controversial parts" jiggling?

Wobbling flaps?

Errr... That's the listing for NMH 2 on the Wii, not the PS3/360 port.

So I guess this means a US release is confirmed too? Last I checked they were being a bit coy about that.

Countdown until the "banned in Australia" article...

So about half of people on earth have parts that are "controversial"?

Everyone has controversial parts, it's just only 51% of the species seem to be required to show them off regularly for the entertainment of the other 49%

@ NegativeZero

Ubisoft confirmed the release date for NMH2 a while back. They just aren't publishing the 360/PS3 ports.

Speaking of the ports. While they look nice, I think its going to lose a lot in translation. NMH had awesome combat that made great use of the wiimote's capabilities and limits so its going to lose a lot of its personality playing it on a pad.

I do agree that it might lose something because it doesn't have the motion controls. They weren't all that fancy in the first place but they worked - every single time. Yes, basically you just moved it in a single direction but the results were satisfying and it was the right mix of how often you had to do the moves.

The hysterical aversion to offence gets ever more ridiculous.

Journalism at it's finest from EG.

I wasn't reading the linked text due to lack of time but I have now; It's an amusing read, especially the last line:

The battery meter for Travis's sword is always represented by a cartoon-like penis icon in the upper-right corner of the screen: as battery power runs out, the icon starts to shrink—a sad face appears.

I'm sure it sounds more gratuitous than it actually is.

Hmm, this was already a fun game to begin with. But with an actual controller, HD Widescreen visuals, achievements, fewer-clothes mode and now some added controversy it doesn't get any better. Really looking forward to this release now.

"an assassin with a boombox does not recover after his lower torso has been chopped off - after blood shoots from his empty waist like a geyser"

does not recover? I'm no doctor (so please don't use this as medical advice) but that sound pretty terminal to me.

It's true, this article is describing NMH 2 for Wii next year, not the PS3/360 port. Pretty fundamental error EG !

Somewhat?! You mean people DON'T explode in a fountain of blood and money when cleaved in two with a freaking lightsabre?

That is such a big and obvious mistake in the article that I'm not sure whether or not it is a joke.
