Can. Not. Wait. Release date please.

ok now do a madworld port, KTHXBYE

I am totally going to buy this again, and I will convince at least three of my friends to get it as well.

The only thing I will miss from the Wii version was the calls that came through the wii-mote from Sylvia though I guess they could do that through the headset.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.

Totally playing this again.

Unintentional hilarity with some of the gallery images being very low-res. =P (but those were probably from the Wii version, am I right chums?)

I'm glad they didn't dump the cel-shaded look, though I could've sworn Travis' sunglasses were more translucent in the first game. Then again, it's been a while since I've played...

As most of Destructoid knows my scorn for the Wii it may shock them that this is one of only a handful of titles I actually enjoyed.

I will probably pick it up, or at least rent it or something.

so it's our first official wii to hd port. hope you guys like it!

I would not be surprised if Suda had nothing to do with the port at all, simply going off of what he's said about the series in the past and how he wanted the Wii version to be. This whole thing seems like it's missing the point of what he wanted for it.

And it's going to do worse on the 360 and cost him a ton of money.

It's good that it's getting second chance in, graphics look pretty nice.

I have 0 interest though I actually thought it was a pretty boring game, style over substance. Like most of Suda's games.

It definitely looks cleaner, but some of the shots are look as if the sharpness filter was pressed one too many times.

Also, it is a verrrrrrrry smart move to not show any of the overworld.

And, personally, I think the motion controls will be missed quite a bit. Why? I felt that they added a layer of immersion to the combat and side jobs in a unique way than I think most will explain.

The swinging mechanics got your adrenaline and physical heart rate going, and I often felt like I had done a couple of rounds of Wii Sports Boxing after the more tense boss fights. It makes you "feel" like Travis because you're as "tired" as he is.

As for the side jobs, I reeeeeeallllllllllly liked the lawn-mowing controls (and the job itself). It uses the motion sensing tech in a subtle way that allowed me to cool down after a fight. It was a necessary breather that was still preparing me for the next battle since I had to make that scratch and pay my dues.

The scorpion side job can go eat a dick and die, though. AVOID AT ALL COSTS FOR IT IS A WASTE OF TIME.

I don't see any difference... are they going to update the textures at all?

It does look nice but I notice or perhaps it's just me but within these screens the shadows have different 'shades' rather than like in Killer7 & NMH in which shadows are a single black tone. As well as it uses some bump mapping/light mapping that shows through the shadows.

I know that sounds like horrible nitpicking but I hope there's at least an option for just a 'high res' mode rather the standard 'bump map the fuck out of this' version. Part of the style was the whole 'ink' like look.

It looks sharper overall, but what happened to the shaded look? I felt that was a kind of visual trademark in the games.
It's cool to see this, but I'm not sure I'd pay to play it again. If I could get hi-def videos of some of the cutscenes that would be enough for me.

Never played the wii version, due to the lack of a wii. So this is a definite purchase for me.

Ah I just don't see the appeal of paying $60 for a port of a 2 year old Wii game, that has just been up-resed to HD and only has one added "hard mode" to it. It's just not worth it to me, so no I'm not to excited about it and I won't be buying it, but that's just me I guess. I still hope it sells well though, but the Wii version wasn't exactly a flop either, as it sold half a million, so I can't see this version selling any better than that!

SOLD!
AGAIN!
Nerdrage will ensue if this wont get an EU release...

I remember reading last year that Suda originally envisioned No More Heroes for Xbox 360. I always wondered what the hell it would look like on there.

"C) This better sell at least 4x the Wii version. Unless everybody is ready to admit that Wii Games dont sell because industry simple dosent make great games for it. (aside from Nintendo)"

That'd be like 2 million copies, you realize.

NMH sold damn well for a suda51 game.

Anyway, buyer beware. This game was the killer app for motion controls. Well, this and RE4Wii.

Eh, that looks alright. Not too huge a jump in my opinion. I liked the controls on the Wii version too much to rebuy this one, I think.

It looks a little better. But I already have the Wii version. I'll have to think about this one.

Well as soon as this is released stateside I'm going to sell my Wii as the only reason I kept it for this long was for No More Heroes.
