RPG-Focused Half-Minute Hero Sequel Announced For Japan

The adorable Half-Minute Hero, a PSP title that challenged users to complete heroic quests in a blend of genres within thirty seconds, is getting a sequel in Japan this November.

According to IGN's take on Japanese magazine Famitsu's exclusive, Hero 30 Second will retain the original's hook, but will do away with the mini-games or challenges outside of the RPG genre. The clock in Second will also stop during "events" and map exploration.  
 

cool, never heard of it, but cool. 

Loved Half Minute Hero, would like to see if they added some more neat twists

I put this page in the queue for creation hours ago.  If someone beats me to it, I'm going to be so fucking pissed. >:|

Haha, "faucets." 
 
(It should be "facets".)

I think you mean facet rather than faucet there Brad, unless it's some weird Dragon Quest style monster. 
 
EDIT: Damn, beat to it! :D

I still haven't played the first one...  
Hey Sony (or whoever!)! Put the first one on sale, like all the games on sale this week! 

Had a blast with the first one, here's hoping this one gets picked up for a NA/EU release.

HELL YES, MORE HERO 30! Love the music in that game. This year just keeps getting better and better for the PSP. I can't honestly think of a sequel that we AREN'T getting.

more like half minute hero 1.5 mueheh

So this is more like Half-Time Hero, if there are stops.

I can't wait! This is gonna be well good.

still need to finish the first, but will buy this for sure.

This is such a weird but acceptable sequel to a weird but acceptable game

Wasn't the first game "RPG focused"?

Looks fun in a panicky sort of way.

I've been planning on buying a PSP mainly for the new Kingdom Hearts coming out, but I might pick up this game as well, well not this one right now obviously, but it's predecessor, and if I like that, this one later.

" Wasn't the first game "RPG focused"? "

best PSP game gets a sequel. yay!

didn't think this was sequel type game, but i shall buy this indefinitely  

Nice. Half Minute hero was  a great game that warranted a sequel.

yay

That's awesome, I really liked the RPG part of the first game, so hopefully this'll be good.

Ack, I was going to say this is cool.

" The first one was amazing, and the music was so amazing that I had to import the soundtrack. The second game is going to have tracks by Shimomura, Hamauzu, Mitsuda, Ito and Sakuraba, so you know the atmosphere is going to be good. I wonder if Yuzo Koshiro's going to come back for this one, though? I could always use more Koshiro in my life. "

I want this now. Time to learn some Japanese.

FUCK YEEEEEEEEEEEES

" So this is more like Half-Time Hero, if there are stops. "

Ah! I never got around to trying the first game.

YES!!!! This game is so amazing. I was suprised when I first picked it up at how much content is actually in it. IO hope they bring it over here.

More like "STOP! Hammertime! Hero." "

Quarter minute hero?

Massively exciting. I do worry that the changes will make it feel less "frantic"

I think I'll check this out if it ever comes stateside

I still need to play the first one....I still need to buy a PSP.

Still need to get the first one (and a PSP) before I bother with HMH2.

I loved the first one! Hopefully this will make it out in the USA as a download on PlayStation Network.

Wow... I really did anticipate them making a sequel to the first game (which was awesome). This is great!

wish it could come to PSN

The first one was fun lets hope this one is too.

 hell its about time indeed
