Nice. I still need to play the first game, though.

I wanted to play the first one, but I was EXTREMELY turned off by every mode other than Hero 30, so I never picked it up. I'm kind of regretting it now.

OMFG YES! I loved the first game. It was ridiculous and always fun. Hopefully this will come to the states. *Prays*

Hopefully, it will be released for more consoles.

The first game was amazing. Hope this one comes out to the West.

"Yuusha 30 Second will feature an 'Edit Mode' which I assume will allow players to create their own 30-second adventures."

If this is true... Game Of The Whenever It Comes Out!

The first game is one that I'll've been meaning to get my hands on, once I have a PSP on which to play it.

Yes please!

First game was soooo gooooooood. I hope to see this one come to the states. Sadly, I don't know if many people in the states bought this game, as it was thinly stocked, and any store employee I talked to mentioned it didn't move much.

They should cut every non-Hero mode so they can focus on what counts. I would like to see more Another challenges that take at least 5 minutes.

Find me an XSEED statue. Let's do this.

This totally made my morning. The 1st game was awesome (though Evil Lord & Knight 30 could've been better) & it was a lost gem on the PSP.

Oh, & the soundtrack was also pretty good.

Awesome. I just got my hands on the original and I'm always happy to see more of it.

The game can get repetitive after a while, but it's fantastic in small doses.

So don't care about multiplayer... but hope this comes to the U.S. with a decent single player experience seeing I enjoyed the first game.

Goddamn, do I ever need to get the first one somehow.

I really hope they concentrate on single player. I pretty much know nobody with a PSP....

"I wanted to play the first one, but I was EXTREMELY turned off by every mode other than Hero 30, so I never picked it up. I'm kind of regretting it now." - Honestly the other modes were decent. Also, Hero 30 clearly takes up the lion's share of one's time in the game, regardless. Finally, you don't have to play the other missions at all, if you don't want to. Of course, you won't get Hero 300 and Hero 30 (the sorta climactic ending thingy), but, if you -really- dislike the other modes, it's always an option to skip them...

I'm pessimistic about any other sequels coming out from XSEED ever since they basically confirmed we'd never get Retro Game Challenge 2. That's what we really need!

Holy crap! I just bought HMH yesterday! I'm loving it so far.

@Bob Muir: XSEED never brought over RGC2 because pretty much no one bought the first one (amazing as it was), giving them basically zero business incentive to go through the trouble again. Sad to say, I know over on their short lived blog...

...they posted something in February 2010 (game was released in October '09 I believe) basically telling people to please buy Half-Minute Hero, giving me the impression that it also didn't sell well despite the good press and many many previews all over the internet. While I would love more than anything to see the sequel, there's going to need to be a LOT of fan reaction and excitement for them to even consider bringing it out here. Anyone interested should mail them at comments@xseed.com and/or drop them a message on their facebook page to let them know you want it brought over BAD "http://www.facebook.com/#!/XSEEDGames" Also, cash talks louder than words, so if you haven't actually bought the first one, do it now.

"As crazy as the later adventures in Half-Minute Hero could become, I can't imagine what it'll be like racing against three other people to kill an Evil Lord."


Not to blow your mind Conrad, but you could always, I don't know, load up the first game and play it's 4-player competitive multi-player mode...

Ain't got a PSP, so neh. I don't want to go out and buy one just for HMH and a few others.
