Warning: Japanese No More Heroes ad may make you vigorously shake your sword photo

If you ever had doubts that No More Heroes' vertical Wii Remote shaking beam saber recharge gestures were intentionally created to mimic masturbation motions, then this new two page print advertisement from Japan might change your mind.

Go Nintendo has a scan of this ad, in which you'll see that our hero, Travis, just happens to be "recharging his beam saber" on the same beach where a topless Sylvia Christel is sunbathing. 

Perhaps the full-sized scan can help you recharge your own beam saber. Unknown, Arrogant, and Amazing.

Great ad, because Travis' "Recharge Beam Katana" animation looks similar to masturbation to begin with.

Also, cocks.

Y'know, I liked the original VA they used for Sylvia better than the new one with the fake accent. WTF kind of accent is that? Is it Slavic? Russian? French? What is it?

Killer7... it depends. I loved it to death, but many will disagree. It's a very different kind of gaming experience so I recommend you at least give it a rent!

I've loved what I've seen with the game so far except for one thing: is there a way to disable the ridiculous blood bath from killing someone? It's ok in moderation, but I found it to be like popping a huge balloon full of blood when you kill an opponent.

I loved Suda51's over-the-top style in Killer7. I've been excited since I first heard about No More Heroes. And by excited, I mean "recharge my beam saber" excited. If he keeps this up, Suda may become my favorite game creator.

@ Covertpoet:

Killer 7 isn't great. The game is pretty cheap now (like $10 new), so you could inexpensively check it out for yourself - but I can cover a few points here. The control is pretty whack: A moves you forward and B moves you back. There are 7 playable characters - each with a special ability and unique weapon. When a character dies you have to use a specific character to walk to their body and revive them. The story is nonsensical - but awesome. The music is pretty catchy.

I don't know about you PwnDaddy but I would much rather see a hot naked chick with some guy jacking his beam sword in the back than look at a guy taking a shit.

as if we needed more convincing that the game is going to be awesome.

also, killer 7 is pretty great, even if the gameplay is very strange. the music alone is worth picking it up.
