I must have been out of the loop for a while now, since I had no idea NMH was being ported. Either way it looks purdy as fuck and now I am very hard and wet.

I'm a sucker for cel shading. Day one purchase for me

Can. Not. Wait. Release date please.

Can't wait to play this again.

ok now do a madworld port, KTHXBYE

I never got to play the first game, but I did play the demo of NMH2 at PAX and found it to be pretty enjoyable. However, I can't tell if trading off motion controls for high-res graphics will be worth it in the end, judging from complaints I've read of people who played it. I think I could get over doing finishing moves without motion swings, even if most people think it adds variety, but charging up the sword by making jerk-off motions seems like something that just can't be translated in any acceptable way to traditional controls.

Still, those are some nice, clean high-res graphics there.

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

I'm definitely buying this.

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.

Looks even better than I thought it would. I just can't wait to give my money to Suda 51. Again. I wonder what'll happen for NMH2 if the sales for the remake are higher on the 360/PS3 than on the Wii.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.

Totally playing this again.

The motion controls on the WII always felt great for NMH.

It will be interesting to see how the controls are on PS3/360

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...

@ linuxguy - I don't think Madworld would work on any other console (for now), the finisher moves depend on motion controls A LOT. Plus that game gets old really freakin' fast since there really aren't that many ways to kill people. If you want that game, you're best off renting a Wii and the game for a weekend.

@ Screens - Definitely day one purchase for me. I wanted the original on Wii but now that this is coming out I'll just get this one!

bewbs

A) It looks the same as on wii

B) NMH is a nice game... but not THAT nice. Play it for the second time and you will see that the gameplay is kinda boring.... its even hard to finish the second playthrough

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)

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.

Yeah, I'll totally buy this game again. I heard there will be breasts in this one.

I'm expecting this will sell about 200,000 copies.

Get ready to light the fuse on this bomb.

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

Those screen shots don't look too bad. This news kind of makes me regret picking the game up a 2nd time XD.

this is exactly what i hoped would happen. can't wait.

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.

Hell, I'll buy this game. Theres one sale already.

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 have been contemplating selling my Wii because NMH was the only game that I like on it, now that I may be able to get it on the XB360 I will more than likely sell that boring system.

I hope we hear some comfirmation that this game will come stated side.

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

I guess the beam katana can be a button mash and on PS3 it can be a sixaxis thing as well.

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.

Hmmmm image link didn't work, so here's just a direct link to the Wii screen for comparison.

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.

This doesn't look that much better then the NMH2 screens.

Also, I can't imagine NMH without motion control.

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

Looks damn smexy.
Day one purchase from me... if it comes out in the US that is...

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!

Can't wait. Would be neat if it was built to work with Natal and PS3 motion wands.

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

Not too shabby, Travis. Not too shabby!

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.

Good game, would buy again.

"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.

I picked up NMH for the Wii thinking it was going to be the earth-shattering next-gen title that I'd been waiting for. The graphics were just too ugly for me to take it seriously. I know I'm shallow.

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.

This might even warrant a repurchase for me.

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

I already have the Wii version, beaten it at least 3 times, yet I need a release date so I can purchase it yet again.

I guess I'm a sucker for updates to older games now, first God of War Collection, now this.

However I feel much less bad about wanting this so much.

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.

THIS IN JAPAN ONLY.

This has no NA date, and most likely will not get one, as it's Ubisoft's decision.

And yeah, NMH1 sold well over 300,000 copies since it came out. Problem is, Marvelous entertainment saw very little of those sales, because it was the publisher of the Japanese version, which no one bought.

The solution? Port this game no one in Japan knows about, on two expensive HD consoles that no one buys games for, unless your name is Square Enix.

Fucking brilliant.

I want to play this game again... Aside from the obvious higher resolution, the textures have been significantly upped in quality, the models don't seem to have changed at all (not a bad thing). And let's not forget the frame rate which was all over the place! However I didn't care cause I was having to much fun cutting bunches of polygons to pieces and letting it rain more polygons! Seriously, if you like over the top action, power ups & old-school flair to your games, pick this up, even if you didn't miss it first time around. Then I suggest to rent it.
