But that appears to refer to the American version, which features decapitations, ludicrously brilliant fountains of blood and other ultraviolent combat consequences. In ... » Read More

Sept 3, 2007 No More Heroes is one of the upcoming Wii titles that has really caught our eye with its Beam Katana-based battling and assassin driven storyline.

The mysterious game that has been known for most of this year as Heroes now has a new name. The latest issue of Famitsu reveals that the all original Wii adventure game is now known as No More Heroes.

Heroes or No More Heroes, this game has gotten much of its hype due to its development background. Although Spike is set to publish the game in Japan, the title is being developed by Grasshopper Manufacturer and directed by Goichi Suda. You may remember these names from Capcom's stylish Killer 7.

Silvia gives Travis official rank of 11 in the organization...
