Famitsu: New glimpse of No More Heroes photo

While we sit idle waiting 48 hours to see what lies behind the curtain of the new No More Heroes site, Famitsu unzips the pants of the protagonist and offers up a few more photos of the game.  The scan was posted by a French Web site which our own Blindside thankfully translated for us Eau De Toilette impared:

You are Travis, number 10 assassin. In the game you go around to kill the other 9 so you can be number 1. Take missions to get better weapons and more money and other things. Wiimote controls weapon and nunchuck moves Travis on foot and vehicle.

This game is totally punk. I'm a huge fan of cell shaded games -- it reminds me of being excited about older titles like Cool Cool Toon and Jet Set Radio on the Dreamcast.  Killer 7 would have been totally forgetable if it wasn't for the amazing attention to art direction, so I'm also hoping that there's a little more under the hood here than clever shaders. July's new scan and an archive of additional back issue scans are posted in the gallery below:

Yeah, Uber it was one of the early releases on the DC. JSR was a pretty entertaining game.

Am I mistaken or did it say that the guest designer for Travis' T-shirt is named Okama?! For those that don't know, okama is Japanese for transvestite.

What is this? A Wii game that looks like effort was actually put into it? Nice.

I read some where this game is supposed to be more violent then Manhunt2.. Nintendo seems to packing in the Ao titles..

I hope this game is not on rails like Killer 7.. Other then that this game shows really good effort put forth..

It's not on rails Blaze, it's more in the vein of GTA I believe, but without the grand theft auto-ing. But who cares, we get a Corellian cruiser bike.

This looks so hot.

@magesx

and from what it looks like, holding the Wiimote in different positions changes the way Travis holds the saber. Tits.

Yeah the Wii needs more serious titles if it wants to stay thriving. Games like this definitely help. and kick ass.

What I said yesterday about a title to champion. This is it.

A story driven game with a plot, lightsabers, and most importantly, doesn't treat it's deaths as a level clearing goal in the game as much as it is a plot advancing device. It's a subtle change, to be sure, but it's there.

This game is the number 2 reason I will eventually own a Wii (Smash Brothers is #1). Also cocks, props Niero for the mention of Cool Cool Toon. That game was a bitch but it was insanely awesome. I wish they had translated it to English though so I could understand the story.

Disagree with you about Killer 7. The game was amazing, although helped immensely by the art style.

This game just looks fucking boss though. Cannot wait.

blindsidedork,
Yes it is free room, suda 51 himslef said that.


and I think he was jokeing about it being more violent then man hunt. From what I have seen so far it looks like it would get ethier a T or M rateing.

the pics in that mag. are old becuase I have seen them on IGN.
the only thing that seems to be new is the showing of a new character. the girl on the the fisrt pic looks new.
