Travis Touchdown Goes High-Definition in August

Wave that laser sword glowy thing around with your Move controller, too.

Fightin' otaku and ladies man Travis Touchdown has been limited to the Wii for the past few years, but that changes on August 16, when No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise arrives on PlayStation 3.

Konami got around to confirming the North American release date for the PlayStation Move-enhanced Heroes' Paradise today because the game is actually launching in Europe right now. We have to wait.

I dig No More Heroes--and by extension Suda 51--from a stylization standpoint, but the gameplay in his games have failed to grab me. That seems to be the case with a number of Suda 51's games, which I'm totally okay with. I'm happy with hacking and slashing takgin a back seat, though, given how many games lack any sense of style to begin with. It's why I'm looking forward to checking out Touchdown's HD debut.

Oh that's pretty cool, it's cool when we in Europe get stuff early, I wonder why, does PS3 sell so good over here? I wonder how good, I know that almost all my friends don't know what an xbox is but when I say it's like a playstation they're like ohhhh I get it. It's pretty cool that more "hardcore" games are released for the move.

According to my local Gamestation, this doesn't exist, which is why I've had to order it online, and I'm not playing it now =(

So... they release a 360 version, but only in the region that hates the 360, and not in America, where people actually buy it? 
Awesome!

Probably would've picked this up if it were released on 360, but I guess motion controls are a bit important to the game.

I remember reading it was due to whatever clowns are publishing this really want waggle.  And the 360 doesn't have waggle, so that is why.  I guess they didn't want to try Kinect either.
But lamest reason for not releasing a game that is all set to make some money.

My copy should be with me in a couple of hours!

Why is the US getting it so late i thought we'd grown past the delays between releases in different regions.

 

Just in case you want to know it supports both Move and a normal controller.

Kind of indifferent to this, for whatever reason, I just couldn't get into the first one. Glad it'll reach more people hopefully though.

Maybe, but I'm guessing there's not a large amount of people who would go back to this game after three years.
I wouldn't say a large amount but there were plenty of non Wii owners whom wanted to play this game and whom were let down because it was just on the Wii, it gives them the chance to play it. Three years old or not it's still damn fun.

 Yeah right, despite slow start it sold well in the end.
But at least it is nice to see that it is not the lack of exclusives that makes some of you let the Wii get dusty.      : /

I'm really tempted to double-dip with NMH, but I think I'm going to wait for a price drop, especially if it launches at $60. I loved the game on the Wii, but there's too many other games I have to catch up on.

No More Heroes is my favorite game, and I'm getting really close to buying a PS3 just for those neat add ons.

@JeffGoldblum: Yeah, you can play it with a controller. The original Japanese version of this game only supported a controller. This version of the game allows you to choose whether or not you want to use the move or a dualshock.

They should have delayed it for a year, and put in all of the No More Heroes 2 content in it and sold it as an HD Collection in the vein of the God of War & Sly Cooper Collection. (despite Grasshopper not being Sony-licensed)

it would have made a lot more sense, wouldn't take many more resources, seeing as how the games both run on almost the same engine, and it probably would sell more copies when it comes out.  I think this is gonna sell really poor simply because so many people have already played it 3 years ago.
