I dunno, for me motion controls make NMH (and DS) so damn satisfying. I couldn't imagine it without them.
Can't believe this is really coming out in a few days. I'd been checking a few sites over the past week waiting to see the date pushed back, if only because there was absolutely no word from Konami or coverage from any sites. Thought it was just a mass place holder.
Gotta pick this up now.

So... Konami themselves forgot about the game?
First gameplay impressions ever will come from preorder copies?
The UK shops don't even seem to have a packshot. Here's the German version:

Despite having the option, I wouldn't even touch NMH2 without the waggle.
To each their own, but the NMH series is one of the few games that gets motion controls right. They're so basic and dont add any real gameplay depth, but performing execution kills with a single slash or getting down with wrestling moves feels sooooooooo gooooooooooood.

Hmmm game instore dont even have this down as coming out on friday so they said it doesnt look like they will be getting any instore. Wonder if its going to be a limited release.
the uk shops are shipping their copies now,shopto only has a few more copies in stock,so the initial shipment must be very small
is ultros making an OT or should we just use this thread instead?(in this case,can a mod change the thread title and make note that the game is out now in europe and australia?)

The viewer mode was confirmed by the ESRB for NA version, via this comment about rating.
"In a Character Viewer mode, a woman's buttocks is fully exposed"
Priceless.
Since it's been PEGI/BBFC'd 18 certificate, I would imagine it will also feature in UK/EU version.

I imported the Asian version on impulse a year ago thinking the PS3 version was never going to make it to NA. I remember there being something wrong with the controls, rotating the analog sticks to do wrestling moves demanded such odd precision. I was pretty disappointed.
I wonder if this version fixed any of the control issues. I mastered the fuck out of the Wii version and I still prefer the original version to this day.

So...is there or is there not limited time DLC for Red Zone?
Also there is a chance there will be multiple trophy lists/entries (noooo)...consisting of
JP NMHP
JP NMHP RZ
US/EU NMHP (or even that seperate)
Enough, now lets have NMH2 HD and Travis Touchdown and co avatars. Please.

Will certainly double-dip, loved it on Wii (the sequel, while better in many aspects, just didn't do it for me. Final boss certainly didn't help).
I'll first try it with the DS3, yeah the finishing moves and wrestling smackdowns are better with motion but I'll go for a lazy playthrough first
Too bad Move doesn't have a speaker though, in the original I almost looked forward to Sylvia's calls more than the actual boss battles
"head for the garden of madness!!"

Best closing statement of a Eurogamer review ever? I like to think so.

Was surprised to see this on sale in Australia today, there's been... pretty much no hype from Konami for it. Might pick it up tomorrow, dunno.
Not until mid-August apparently. =\

Wow.

If i buy this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004P5OF6Q/
will i have the bosses from NMH 2 too? is it the version with those extras?
Also does it play fine with the regular pad?
NMH 2 sucked with the classic controller but i'm not going to buy a Move -- well, let's say i am, what's the price for the Move? thanks.

I would say the pad controls for NMH:RZ would be even worse than the CC from Desperate Stuggle, as the port of Red Zone isn't handled by Grasshopper at all.
Wizpig said:
The EU/US release of Heroes Paradise is the same as Red Zone. Eurogamer clarified that a few weeks ago. After they released Heroes Paradise in Japan, Konami picked it up for Euro/US release and asked AQ to put more development time into it. This became the EU/US version of Heroes Paradise, which they're releasing as Red Zone in Japan 'cause there's already a Heroes Paradise there.
The additions so far are uncut gore, retweaked graphics and slightly better load times, NMH2 bosses in a boss run mode, masterba....I mean, model viewer and new bikes or some such.
As for the pad controls, I played through the original release of Heroes Paradise and, for the most, thought they were fine. Only problem I had was sometimes the sticks wouldn't register for the sword dual spin round part, like with the Shinobu fight.

can someone tell me that has it or will have it soon, how bad the screen tearing is?
AceBandage said:
Sorry to go slightly off-topic but could someone please clarify this for me. I bought the original 'No More Heroes' on Nintendo Wii but never really got into it (I only defeated the first boss). I got sucked into running my Wii games on Dolphin after that and this game never got properly fixed to run on Dolphin so I never went back to it. Now that I can buy a HD version I think that's what I'm going to do as I already happen to have PS Move but what is No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise (US/EU) in relation to the original? A straight port or a game includes part/ all of No More Heroes 2 too? Thanks.
I imported the US version along with a freeloader once the game intially came out for Wii. I haven't played it since a software update killed the off the freeloader, so I might eventually pick this up for the PS3 along with a move controller. The only thing I will miss from the Wii version will be the phone calls.

I tested the original NMH on the Wii, I'll break it down like this:
No More Heroes was released in Japan in November 2007 Japan for the Wii, it only came out in an censored format; no gore, and cutcenes were slightly altered.
No More Heroes for NA was released a few months later, in Feb of 2008. It had some bug fixes and all the gore intact.
No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise was released in Japan for the PS3 and 360 last year. The game was a very buggy port by AQ. This featured pad support for both systems as well as HD visuals. The game had longer load times than the Wii version, screen tearing, and crashes. It did have unlockable costumes for all the girl characters though!
No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise for NA and PAL was announced to be coming to the PS3 exclusively, with Move support. It was announced to have some bosses from No More Heroes 2, and the character model viewer thrown in for whatever reason. The European version is coming out tomorrow, but there's no definitive date set for the NA version as of yet.
No More Heroes: Red Zone is the JPN port of the NA version of Heroes' Paradise. This includes the Move Support, NMH2 boses, and the character model viewer that were NOT in the original release of Heroes Paradise for Japan.
Suda 51 and grasshopper have nothing to do with these ports, and Suda has repeatedly washed his hands of it when asked about them in interviews (for good reason)
