I’ve been waiting forever to check out this game, and now I can finally have a chance. Assuming of course that this gets a U.S. release, though I really don’t see why it wouldn’t. Take a look at some of the images from this new port below. So, who’s going to be playing this game now?

Hm..well I already have the game for the Wii, still not sure if I want to get it for the PS3.
Leason learned: Mature games don't sell on Wii.
Even though I own the first one, I will definitely re-buy it for my 360.

Can't wait to pick this up. I hope they do find a publisher for the NA release though.
let how awesome No More Hero is:
1- Otaku main character
2- use a beam sword
3- find sweet moe shirt in the dumpster
4- learn wresting move
5- 8-bit interface
5- the save point is on the toilet
6- crazy boss that make the main character look normal
7- sweet bike
and other thing that I can't remember.

I'm going to have to hold out for more info, because to be honest... its a fun, but very short package that relies on repetitive and poorly designed traveling around the world to stretch it out long enough that we weren't terrible insulted.
Its kinda like a mega-man game. 8 really, really fun bosses, but the stages (instead of being varied and challenging) are just one long channel where you mash the attack button... and each is identical.

The only reason NMH didn't sell well is because it didn't have a big name like those games. Not every new IP is as lucky as L4D or Dead Space when it comes to sales.
While I won't buy this game again (even though it's godamn awesome) I am guilty of this...I always purchase Singles and then albums and compilations by artists I like >_>" Do you buy re-releases of anime? Like the anime dvd singles and then you keep buying each new release of it in boxset form? "

I am guilty of buying anime singles then the boxset. xD I did it with Shakugan no Shana and I fully expect to buy Evangelion 1.11 on dvd after it releases even though I just bought Evangelion 1.01. I wouldn't of bought the Shana boxset though probably if it didn't come with the OVA that was never sold separately. Pretty much only in certain cases would I re-buy the series...

Also, Monster Hunter Tri is one of the best selling games in Japan recently and it's also a third party Wii game.
In fact, you just have to look at the Wii's best selling games list to notice an unusually high amount of third party games for a Nintendo console in it.

I notice the top 6 are by Nintendo...it's widely known that when it comes to their consoles they suceed more than the other by far even though some games have sold well. I have read that RE4 on the Wii did not sell well and thatthe newest:CoD isn't either but I am not sure about that." @Void_Wizard said:

And the new CoD has been out for less than 10 days so I can't really say anything about that.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm a big SUDA 51 fan. I love all his games, I just don't see this one coming stateside.
" I'm going to have to hold out for more info, because to be honest... its a fun, but very short package that relies on repetitive and poorly designed traveling around the world to stretch it out long enough that we weren't terrible insulted.Actually John, Ubisoft passed on publishing the game in North America so we very well might not see it released here. And I wouldn't blame the publishers seeing as how the game didn't exactly knock one out of the park.
