94%, that's a pretty high score.

' You've already showed your friends Super Mario Galaxy. It gave you the same feeling as when you saw Ridge Racer on the PSOne, or Super Mario 64 on N64, or Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast - games that you could stick on your telly and say "look - this is a brilliant, brilliant game." Well, No More Heroes is another game like that; something that will awe people.

'Anywhere else and No More Heroes would still be hatstand chicken-punching bonkers, but nowhere else would it be so entirely at home than on the console with the crazy split-in-two controller and the arm-flapping games. Like the Wii, none of it should work, but like the Wii, everything does. Brilliantly.'

Nice, 8 days to go, can't wait.

I've been looking at No More Heroes as if it was the Kill Bill of video games. A game that mocks the itself, the genre, etc, but does it in an extremely entertaining manner. So I look forward to this one, especially seeing as how this review mirrors my own thoughts.

Grasshopper... finally! This should be good.

heh, what do you mean, Nitrobike is released this week.

Anyway, there'll be a lot on here hoping the NTSC release works on PAL. We're getting the censored bloodless jap version because a bunch of humourless pensioners are in charge of telling us what we can and can't watch.

 

[silent sniper]

great news. i was about to get a game soon.... guess i'll be picking this up instead of SMG.

 

[sekhu]

2/10 for Soul Calibur Legends? Too generous IMHO

 

[Deadmon]

Excellent. Can't wait for this game!
Except it'll have to wait while I play Brawl....

4 seems low for SOF: Payback, sure I've only played the first level or so but I enjoyed it. Will see it through once I get through my current pile of games!
Is that the Feb edition of Edge? Need to pick it up. Was also looking forward to R-Type Tactics..

no more heroes does look awesome indeed

my list of "triple A 3rd party games so far" for the wii:

MLB power pros
Kororinpa

and that's about it, I'm pretty sure No More Heroes will be the next one (and if it's not, I'll go back to beating Killer 8

I realy hope the Ntsc version works. Dont want to play it in its cut form with no blood or any gore effects. Should be out in a day or two so we will soon know.

 

[NiGHtS]

I wanna play it in it's cut form...but don't mind if it's NTSC, this and smash bros are the only two games coming out this year I want so crossing fingers the NTSC release works on PAL.

Oh and the cut form looks pretty cool, the little coins and stuff coming out only add to NMH's uniqueness.

mario kart is probably the third one.

I'm also looking forward to no more heroes. Maybe it finally gives me reason to wake up my wii again. Haven't been playing with it in months or weeks. I don't know anymore.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

where the hell is this game? doesn't it come out today? surprised it hasn't been released yet. :?

Yep, today's the day. I plan on picking it up later.

 

[grant666uk]

Thats me just up. (nightshift last night) Was hopping it would be out by now so I can find out if it going to to work or not. Oh well will need to wait a bit longer.

 

[EddyB]

Hope it works on PAL, probably not. something to keep me occupied until SSBB...
