Sigma 2 was self published. MMV does not have its own publishing company in the US. It has a deal with Xseed, but Xseed it a separate company. They already have a deal with Ubisoft for this IP, they are not going to jeopardize it for Xseed.Narcosis said:
Again, so no one else misunderstands me, I believe Ubisoft will publish this in the US. Just not anytime soon and most likely with NMH2HD because the first game is too old and severally broken by its hub.

Wouldn't the longer Ubisoft (or anyone else) waits to bring it over, the lower the chances are for it to even do decently? I mean people say two years after is bad enough, but what if it becomes two and a half or even three years after the Wii version? Kinda a now or don't bother situation isn't it?

Gee I thought it was an honest question, no I'm not trying to be negative. I'm sorry if the "now or don't bother" part sounded that way.
I don't understand how the gameplay is going to work. If it is just going to be a regular brawler then I don't think it will be very fun at all, it seems like this is one of the Wii games that lives and dies by its motion controls, well at least gameplay wise. It looks beautiful and I loved the game on the Wii, but I don't know if I should be excited or worried at this point.

I don't know why everyone keeps saying that NMH needed motion controls to be any good and that it added to the immersion of the game (or some bullshit like that anyway). They were easily neglectable and I would hardly call them 'immersive' either, they aren't 1:1 controls or anything like that. If limp-wristed gestures are what you think are the make or breaking point of this game then more power to you I guess, I will be happy replaying it without them, not noticing a thing.
This man clearly played the same game I did.jooey said:

this thread should be fun to revisit if the game gets announced for western release.

I'm just sayin'. Outside of the boss fights the only time NMH gets good(outside of the boss fights) is when I'm swinging the remote around like a goon while telling everyone to fuck off.

Lack of tacked on motion controls is a good thing.
I suppose it's a fetish amongst many people when they feel a sense of pleasure when they shake their wrists rapidly.

You generally don't waggle rapidly too much in No More Heroes. Most of the time you do one or two hard slashes at the end of a button-press combo to cause people's heads to explode or a single directional motion to do a wrestling move. You shake the remote up and down to recharge the beam katana's battery every so often.
I don't get the backlash about the "whole point of the game was the waggle"...when this is the same game that on it's sequel; the dev team decided not to use Wiimotion Plus to make "waggle better"...in favor of using the Classic Controller, to allow "normal controls" and "reach more people"..

Either way, to me, the thing that sold the combat the most was the fact that you were holding a one-handed controller, and, as such, were able to slash it like sword.
All the combat was handled with a single button, too, so it's not like there's a huge diversity in attacks or strategy. It basically boiled down to wiggling the analog stick incessantly to do the dodge maneuver -- whatever it was called -- and then mashing the A button. I just think it'll be boring with a standard controller. One button for high attacks and another for low? Yawn.
The game will still be ugly as fuck, too, because the source material largely is. I mean, the boss battles look great, sure, but hardly anything else does.

I guess that means that people who prefer button mashing and joystick waggling only do so because they enjoy making small, repetitive motions using only their thumb.Dabookerman said:

Have you actually played NMH before? Motion+ wouldn't have benefited the game because precise sword strikes weren't necessary...

Not more more info aside from some sections open now, but the site reveals the developer of this remake/port. The developer is Feel Plus, of Lost Odyssey and Ninety-Nine Nights 2 fame. It also confirms that in Japan, the PS3 version is rated CERO D (same as Wii), while the 360 version is rated CERO Z (based on the US version of the Wii game).

Edge has an interview up with Yasuhiro Wada, mostly about this game. Some interesting tidbits in there:
- It's on the HD platforms because they wanted to expand the audience and see if it could sell better than its Wii counterpart.
- Feelplus is the developer because they're more experienced with HD tech and because GHM is too busy with other games.
- Suda's a creative consultant.
- Analog controls. No use of the Sony wand or anything.

The fact that it's NMH HD and developed by Feel Plus...
Double-dip confirmed if it comes to the states.

I wonder if they'll manage to make the overworld bareable this time around 
I loved Killer7 and really wanted to love NMH, so I'm so excited for this. The game's performance on Wii, especially outside the main levels, was just so offputting for me.
