Looking at these new screenshots has me excited to play No More Heroes again on the PS3, although I don't see this HD remake as a replacement of the SD original. If No More Heroes Wii is Supergirl via Dave Cooper, then No More Heroes PS3 is Supergirl via Adam Hughes. Both have a place in my heart. OK, that's not quite right, but the general idea is there; this new version of No More Heroes feels like a new artist taking on an established character. That sort of thing happens with comics all the time, but with videogames, it's a pretty rare phenomenon, and something to be celebrated.
It's a less rare phenomenon for established female videogame characters to get new skimpy outfits. That's one of the other features of this PS3 port: the game will have a mode where the already provocatively dressed ladies wear even less clothes, so if you like that sort of thing, you're in luck. More exciting for me is the rumor that No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise (the formal name for this HD port) will feature additional boss fights, borrowed from No More Heroes 2. That's a lot to be excited about, for die-hard fans of the original and No More Heroes virgins alike.

We all <3 you.
Who cares though, game is awesome.
So NMH2 boss fights... does that mean no NMH2 HD?
Like I said in the post, I'm not so sure that kind of definition is necessarily better, but it is different.
@ callmeAlex- Yeah, my understanding is that NMH2 is highly unlikely to come to the PS3/360. I'm betting that NMH3 will go multi-platform though.
Wasn't there some kind of stir that Heroes Paradise was made without Suda's approval or something? It might have been just a rumor, i'm not sure.
I dont think anything can replace how awesome you feel when fighting on the wii though!
I'm excited for this version, but only because it's getting Move support -- Without that, I wouldn't be interested at all.
Shouldn't that be [wear] instead of "were"¿
Oh, and does the Western version have blood in it, or is semi-censored¿ I hope it's got blood sprays and whatnot.
Suda51 games are like Tarantino movies, and you wouldn't wanna watch those if they were censored.
As I said before, it's great that PS3 owners are getting this, especially when most developers/ publishers (*cough* Namco Bandai *cough*) refuse to release a game outside of Japan (*cough* Tales *cough*). So thank you Konami, as Travis would say "MOE".
Good Advertising (or the lack of it). It's why mediocre games succeed and decent games die in obscurity.
already bought th JP version, will be buying this also :D
this is my one of my sole reason to buying Move, games like this, Dead Space 2, Resident Evil 5 really encourages you to buy move ^^
all we need is games like Madworld, Red Steel, and the RE light games ^^
please marvelous port No More Heroes 2 as No More Heroes 2 Paradise with the same features as the 1st one(very Sweet Mode, Dual Audio and subs to name a few) ^_____^
@callmeAlex
actually Tak Fuji from Konami only added for extra content. they can actually make it backwards if they plan to make No More Heroes 2 Paradise with NMH boss fights instead(maybe darkstar :D)
improvements for the inevitable No More Heroes 2 Paradise :)
a new difficulty(extreme bitter?), more clothes, add the wrestling moves from the 1st one.Dark sith mode,Move support,Very sweet mode(Alice and Margaret alternate costumes FTW),theater gallery,Dual Audio with Japanese and English track w/subs. faster loading times,keep the death match mode(also add the 1st no more heroes bosses maybe dark star? :D),trophy support,No More Heroes 1.5 Movie, add a story campaign about henry(how he fought the robot guy or shinobi's quest into becoming the #1 Assassin in the US,and an Awesome Art box(like NMH Paradise)
Still, this should be a whole pile of fun on the PS3.
The only Gsme that they've announced in development that uses move interestingly beyond and alternate control schem is Sorcery, but honestly if sorcery didn't use move I wouldn't give a crap about the game. Come on Sony announce an awesome Move exclusive
Time to wait for reviews.
But I don't want it...I have the original.... (suckers)
That is my big concern, I really hope they are taking so long to bring it to US shores because they are going through the game and leaving the blood and effects in this time. It's the only reason I didn't bother to import the JP version.
Can't wait to relive the game yet again in HD.
b. I will buy this again due to being a total whore for No More Heroes and will probably be swearing just as loud when my fucking bike gets stuck in the fucking environment for the fifth fucking time.
@ Linzbot- I asked the Grasshopper guys, and they said that Suda approved and was an honorary part of the development of Heroes Paradise, but had no active involvement. I don't know exactly what that meant, but it seemed sort of like approval.
Maybe I'm just an eternal optimist when it comes to all things No More Heroes, but I'm hopeful that the US localization of Heroes Paradise will fix the issues with the Japanese release and be a lot of fun.
@ Able to think- Fixing that Supergirl typo now. Thanks for the help!
I've read that Konami would like to bring the 360 version of Heroes Paradise here as well, but only if they can figure out a way to add Kinect support.
Yeah, but if I can just get the boss battles from 2 in 1, I don't really need to play 2. I understand the story is probably reason enough for a sequel, but it's going to feel boring in the parts that I've already played.
I will give you that the arcade style side missions are fucking glorious, though.
