A number of Nintendo games score very well in EGM this month including Professor Layton and Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword. Full review scores and rumors below.
Earlier this month gamers learnt that Suda 51's exclusive Wii action-adventure title, No More Heroes, had been delayed in Europe - but, thankfully, just by a week. However, today it is reported that Rising Star Games has shifted its launch date once more - and again by seven days. It will now arrive in the continent on March 14.
Marvellous Interactive have published some worldwide shipping/sales figures for Suda's No More Heroes. In Japan, homeland of all parties involved? It's done terribly. Only 40,000 copies have shipped since launch. Ouch. How about America, then? Little better: they've shipped around 200,000 copies, and have sold just over 100,000 since launch. Not bad! Finally, however, they announce some European numbers. And while the game's not even out there yet (it's shipping late Feb/early March across all PAL territories), they're expecting to sell 160,000 units across the continent at launch. Could something finally be coming up roses for Suda? Let's hope so!
It seems as if those gamers in Europe hoping to snatch a copy of Suda 51 and Grasshopper's exclusive Wii adventure, No More Heroes, will have to wait just a little bit longer. News reaches Nintendic that the title has been delayed by a week on the continent from the original launch date of February 29 to a week later on March 07.

Grasshopper founder Suda51 has told MCV that he first planned for Rising Star's No More Heroes to be an Xbox 360 title.
