No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise slashes US on August 16
High-def, Move-compatible redux of 2008 Wii cult classic will arrive in North America in midsummer.
Today, Europe will literally be able to take an HD whack at No More Heroes on the PlayStation 3, thanks to the release of No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise. However, Konami has confirmed that the North American market will have to wait a while before it gets its collective hands on the PlayStation Move-compatible remake of the 2008 Wii cult classic--until August 16, to be exact.
Developed by AQ Interactive and directed by Killer 7 creator Suda-51, No More Heroes presents a hyperstylized and violent world of fanboy fantasies. The game's protagonist, Travis Touchdown, is tasked with ascending the ranks of an assassin's guild by murdering all of his competition. In addition to becoming the world's greatest assassin, Travis hopes his efforts will win the affections of his beautiful and mysterious benefactor.
Along with a unique visual style, the game features motion-sensing controls to slash with Touchdown's Jedi-esque lightsaber or perform pro wrestling moves on foes. Whereas these controls were handled by the Wii Remote in Nintendo's version of the game, Heroes Paradise will make use of Sony's Move motion-controller setup.
Move controls aren't the only addition made by AQ. The studio has also added more boss characters to the game, as well as tweaked the artificial intelligence of No More Heroes' enemies. Players will also be able to face off against previously defeated bosses in the newly added Rebout mode. Lastly, Viewer mode lets gamers watch the game's cutscenes without playing through the game.
