KONAMI ANNOUNCES NO MORE HEROES: HEROES’ PARADISE FOR PLAYSTATION MOVE

Players Help Travis Touchdown Hack and Slash Through the Ranks of the United Assassins Association With new Playstation Move Controls

El Segundo, Calif. – Oct 26, 2010 – KONAMI Digital Entertainment, Inc. announced today that No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise is coming to PlayStation 3 and will be compatible with Sony’s new PlayStation Move controls. Developed by AQ Interactive Inc., No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise will be available exclusively for PlayStation 3 in North America as Travis Touchdown returns to become the world’s number one assassin.

In No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise, players journey through the sunny city of Santa Destroy as Travis Touchdown, battling to eliminate some of the world’s deadliest assassins. Equipped with a razor sharp Beam Katana sword, players start off as the 11th ranked assassin and try to move up the ranks to position themselves as the ultimate killer. During the course of the game, players encounter Sylvia, a mysterious woman from the United Assassins Association, who arranges fights with other higher ranked assassins to help Travis become the number one in the world. Players will either ride through the town on Travis’ trusty motor bike or travel on foot to arrive at Travis’ next assignment.

Using either a DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller or the PlayStation Move motion controller players have access to a wide range of physical assaults and katana attacks, with each bout tracked by a dynamic camera that showcases the game’s stunning visuals and cinematic fight sequences. By varying the grip and control of the Beam Katana and the timing of their attacks, players have a wide range of moves at their disposal to help Travis battle and defeat his enemies. Defeated foes can also be dispatched with stunning finishing moves, allowing Travis to cement his rising reputation with a series of breathtaking kills.

Travis’ progression is enhanced via a series of sub-missions as well as the ability to hone his skills and upgrade his weapon within the lab. Santa Destroy is a living, breathing place, and the anti-hero can enter shops, visit a gym to train, and collect special icons that will enhance his attack options. As players progress through the game, they will have the opportunity to complete deadly missions and side jobs as they make their way up the ladder of the United Assassins Association.

Aside from the side missions, players will also be able to enjoy newly added game modes like “Rebout Mode” where former foes can be challenged again. Also, players will have the opportunity to encounter additional boss characters that were not available in the original episode but will be on the PlayStation®3 version of the game. Additionally, “Viewer Mode” is also available allowing players to re-watch infamous cut scenes in crystal clear HD graphics. With its stunning visuals, additional levels of action, improved AI and an incredible level of control, No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise represents a welcome return for one of gaming’s most daring creators.

No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise is slated to release in 2011 exclusively for the PlayStation 3. For assets and information on the game, please visit: www.konami.com.

Interesting they aren't going 360 with a 2 to 1 install base in the US.

My guess is that they also looked at the EU install base... this HD port was getting the move upgrade in the EU for the PS3. The HD JP version that was released was just for standard controller... it's also already out on the Wii so your talking about a Wii port that has upgraded graphics and some bonus content but then your cutting out the motion controls for the 360? vs getting everything for the PS3...

I really wish I had gotten the chance to play No More Heroes on the Wii, but sadly an acute lack of said Nintendo Wii prevented me from doing so. I heard it was a pretty solid title. I might give this a go, and hell, maybe it'll sell me on Move if I like the game, itself, enough.

My interest in the Move has increased from about -10 to maybe -4. No more Heros was a fun game on the Wii.

This game is out in Japan for the PS3 and 360, played with the traditional controller. Anyone play them and compare to the wii controls?

If this is priced like the other Move games, $39.99, I would try it out.

[BettiePage]

Price should be the same as any regular game $60... just with move support. you can use your controller if you dont have move. sides the game is ps3 exclusive in na... didnt say that about eu. if not region locked, then us 360 users can import.

[thejnc]

So far am digging this game. The side missions to get $ to advanced to the next assassin are a bit dumb, oh well. Seems like worth the $30 I spent on it so far. And I have to say this is the 1st game that has regular controls and Move controls where I actually prefer the Move. I finally have a reason for the purchase of the Move.

[KageMaru]

Would this still be a good buy even if I don't have Move?

I tried it with a controller and it was decent. I think it would be worth it, especially since you can get it for $30 this week. But at $40, not sure about that.
