Maybe you saw the trailer, maybe you didn't. If the latter come on in and pull up a seat. It's warmed up for you along with a little reading material. It's like Sin City meets No More Heroes meets a whole heck lot of blood.
There was a reason why all the other videos were taken down. It has to do with NDA's and "a copyright claim by Sega of America." SEGA is publishing Platinum Games' game? CONFIRMED. They are also publishing two other games for Platinum Games which include Infinite Line (DS sci-fi RPG) and Bayonetta ("Stylish action game with witch battling angels").
Famitsu is even reporting the game now with scans.
Why did they cut off half of the scan? Boo! But if you want to see a bigger version, click here.
There are some details listed that may or may not know already are as follows.
- black and white game world, red blood
- action game with ‘comical’ ultra-violence
- “Cheerful violence” and “Curb Brawler”
- main character carries the burden of his past on his shoulders, and must deal with his killing ways
- Director - Shigenori Nishikawa
- no official Japanese release date at this time
If that doesn't cheer you up, I don't know what will. Oh and did I forget to mention you have a CHAINSAW FOR AN ARM!?
Apparently it is awesome according to the IGN guys. This game needs to be out. I can only play Defend Your Castle and House of the Dead 2 & 3: The Return so much!
Well, they use the same scream over and over again, but other than that, it looks like it could be cool. I like how the chainsaw man uses a caution sign to kill the last guy.
Holy shit, that looks AMAZING. And here just the other day I was wondering why no one's tried a stylish black-and-white type game and this hits the mark...love the Caution Sign and heart surgery, too.

Extremely pimp. Though main character carrying the burden of his past is a bit cliche.
Seems too violent for the Wii. Like they're trying too hard to prove a point, only to be met with disappointing sales later...
Ok you kinda got me excited for this...that looks pretty fun.
You are obsessed. But chainsaw arm is a good start.
i like it. its like the eastern miike ultraviolence mixed with frank millers art style.
Could be cool.
Looks cool, not sure about if it would fit on the Wii.
Well, they use the same scream over and over again, but other than that, it looks like it could be cool. I like how the chainsaw man uses a caution sign to kill the last guy.
I like to think I inspired this obsession. Course I didn't make the game but...
anyways, ya- this game can't come soon enough. Thursday embargo lifts!
Holy shit, that looks AMAZING. And here just the other day I was wondering why no one's tried a stylish black-and-white type game and this hits the mark...love the Caution Sign and heart surgery, too.
This looks like a heaping pile of awesomesauce.
Yes perri, you helped. I wouldn't have known of the game and looked for stuff if it wasn't for you. Awww...now I need to kill something.
This looks interesting, but than again the first No More Heroes trailer also looked way better than the final game...
i agree with bhive. It looks interesting enough, but seems a bit over the top to me. I doubt this would hit US shores.
WOO! And that's why we're friends... My obsessive compulsion fuels your obsessive compulsion - sounds healthy enough.
I'll buy it based on the art direction alone.
Chainsaw arm = cake icing.
DO WANT
DO WANT
I'd like to see the video because my TV s color..... and I'd like some of that.......
I have been spoiled by coloring books, calling out to me to better them....
