http://scrawlfx.com/2011/04/no-more-heroes-red-zone-edition-announced-for-playstation-3

An enhanced version of No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise is coming to PlayStation 3 in Japan. The latest issue of Famitsu has revealed No More Heroes: Red Zone Edition.

Rated CERO Z, itll utilize the PlayStation Move controller, add five bosses from No More Heroes 2, ten missions not included in the original Wii version, a boss battle and ranking mode, and a forbidden view mode.

Were assuming Red Zone Edition is the upcoming international version of Heroes Paradise localized for Japan. This is because back in November, Konami confirmed the North American version of the game to have extras not included in the original Japanese release, including bosses from No More Heroes 2.

No More Heroes: Red Zone Edition is out on July 21, 2011 in Japan. Itll go for 3990 yen. The western release of No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise, which includes all the content in the Red Zone Edition, is out for PlayStation 3 this summer.

Do note that this is a Japan-only release as of now.

Discotheque · Apr 20, 2011

Hmm, I wonder if it will be alright if I play this without the Move. Don't want to shell out the money for that stuff.

Penguin · Apr 20, 2011

So this is the Japanese version of the US release?

AceBandage · Apr 20, 2011

A remake of a remake?

Salsa · Apr 20, 2011

So, No More Heroes 2 aint coming i asume.

Sucks for those with no Wii, this is still cool i guess, although a bit weird.

They said that this is what they assume the Western release will be, it hasn't been confirmed.

Another site assumes it's the Japanese version of the Western version, it's not fully confirmed yet though

Well, it's most likely an accurate assumption. The US release is PS3-only, and will contain Move controls with a release sometime this summer.

Jarmel · Apr 20, 2011

So when is the USA PS3 version coming out? Same day?

Boney · Apr 20, 2011

man this version looks like those weird ass Mario All Stars ports

so shinyyy

AAK · Apr 20, 2011

Wait... 5 boss fights from NMH2? So we randomly fight the bosses from those games with no narrative? I'm confused.

and LOL @ 'Forbidden View'. Even skimpier outfits now? Or just more blood & gore.

-PXG- · Apr 20, 2011

Good thing I didn't get Paradise. I will wait for this.

Rahxephon91 · Apr 20, 2011

I'm pretty sure this is just the Western Version released in Japan.

All these additions were said to be in the US release of Paradise.

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/113/1130856p1.html

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.

for what it's worth, wiki said 8/31, but recently changed it to Q3 2011.
between this, heavy rain and Child of eden (wait, does that use Move?), id consider grabbing move if it went on sale.

Do we know if they fixed the ridiculous load times of the initial Japanese release?

Yeah, they are only missing the superior game in the franchise but that ain't a big thing

Scandinavian distributor of Heroes Paradise is saying May 19th here.

RadioHeadAche · Apr 20, 2011

I didn't know the US version (of Heroes' Paradise) was getting bonus content. Sweet.

MomoPufflet · Apr 20, 2011

My Move is ready.

bigosc2k · Apr 20, 2011

Buying it because I love the fuck out of No More Heroes

luka · Apr 20, 2011

Awesome, the lame censorship kept me from picking up the game on PS3 last time.

Anony · Apr 20, 2011

i dont understand this?
so it's NMH 1.5 with some extras?
what if they plan on doing NMH2? there's no point
why not just fully put NMH 1 and 2 on a single disc

Noisepurge · Apr 20, 2011

atleast the PAL cover doesn't have any bullet points on special features beyond the Move-tab:

But is there blood in this :E The main reason i didn't want to buy the PAL Wii edition....
(atleast it is K18)

Diebuster · Apr 20, 2011

Welp, looks like I'm triple-dipping. Love this game too much.

Tailzo · Apr 20, 2011

What version is the EU PS3 version going to be based on? zavvi says it will be in stock 20th May 2011.

AFAIK, the 360 JP version has the blood and stuff. So I'm guessing the EU/US version will be getting the 360-fied version + bonus stuff (namely the ones in Red Zone Edition I guess).

Alright, thanks.

Since I was unsure how the game played, I digged up these commenst:

I also found screenshoots of the first No More Heroes version for the HD twins:

StevePharma · Apr 20, 2011

I picked up the PS3-version last year when I was in Japan.

Trust me. You won't care about Move controls in this game. It will still control clunky. For me it had that Deadly Premonition vibe of being clunky but still loving it because of the whole crazy package. Luckily NMH2 on Wii was a much better product overall.

The cleaner graphics are really appreciated though.

Mr. Spinnington · Apr 20, 2011

more NMH is never a bad thing

randomwab · Apr 20, 2011

I just picked up and have been playing NMH:Heroes' Paradise this past week and loving it. I really do enjoy playing it more with a pad than on the Wiimote, and the higher resolution really shows off high nice some aspects of the graphics are. Will definitely pick either this or the US/UK release up when it hits. I have more than enough time for No More Heroes.

French · Apr 20, 2011

Fuck, I thought it was a port of the second one.

InternHertz · Apr 20, 2011

Damn, I bought the first NMH on PS3 last year already...time to triple-dip then! (Wii-PS3-PS3)

I can't pass by an enhanced version of NMH even though I already own 2 versions of it. Too much of a fan to let that happen!

Criminal Upper · Apr 20, 2011

I really, really hope they actually fixed all the broken bullshit from this terrible port.

mugwhump · Apr 20, 2011

Putting stuff from 2 into NMH 1 is actually a fantastic idea. 1's plot was stronger, and it had that overworld...

They can add bosses without messing up the narrative. If they put in NMH2's music and minigames, it would be absolutely perfect.

devastatorprime · Apr 20, 2011

http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/04/21/no_more_heroes_red_zone_first_look/
More details from andriasang. The 5 bosses from no more heroes 2 are

Skelter Helter
Nathan Copeland
Kimmy Howell
Matt Helms
Alice Twilight

Im pretty damn excited that Alice is in as she was my favorite boss from NMH2. I hope forbidden mode is included in the update of heroes paradise thats coming to the west. Perhaps thats maybe why it got delayed?

SaintZ · Apr 20, 2011

Yay! I'll get this and I'm so glad that Alice is in the game. I would have traded Matt Helms for Margaret though.

RPGCrazied · Apr 20, 2011

Can't wait. Love to play this game in 1080p glory with trophies!

Yeah, you better hope they fixed all the broken shit from the Japanese version.

One of the worst ports of all time, I pray to god someone at Konami cares enough to have gotten at least half the game fixed.

No Margaret

Ps360 owner won't experience her awesome theme song... Maybe they fixed the awful load times or other bullshit the japanese version had too...

Reluctant-Hero · Apr 20, 2011

Will it be possible to play NMH:HP with just a dualshock 3? I don't own Move and I doubt I ever will...

Yes. The original 360/PS3 ports were controller only. This re-release of that port just adds the motion controller option that the original release had on Wii to the PS3 version.

randomwab · Apr 20, 2011

Matt Helms and Alice Twilight were some of the best bits of NMH2, so I'm glad they're two of the bosses. Wonder how they'll integrate them into the game though.

Excellent. I'll pick this up on day one when the NA release drops in August.

Rahxephon91 · Apr 20, 2011

Alice T is in this port? Oh god, hope they keep her theme.
