The PSP version had some TOUGH AS HELL levels for some of the challenge titles and opening up some of the branching paths. Especially the very last game mode (which I did finish) I don't know if I could put myself through that all again.

It sucks that they homogenized the hell out of this game for XBLA. If you didn't know, the original on PSP had four distinct gameplay styles centered around the 30 second theme for each of the four main characters and this versions uses just the Knight-style gameplay for everything, which removes a lot of the charm and uniqueness from one of the most unique RPGs of the past ten years.

Yeah I'm a big fan of Half Minute Hero, but the art style on this is not terribly appealing... Oh well, I'll still get it.

8-bit mode is still an option in the game if you prefer the original graphical style.

I hope to hell this will work next time I'm on a date; "What are you complaining about, baby, don't you know all super mega neo climaxes only need 30 seconds?"

Or "Hey, baby, did you know I can upgrade my sword twice and bring it back to it's original shape inside of 30 seconds?"

God damn it, too much Shadows of the Damned..

I apologise on behalf of the other people being mean.  I don't think the option to turn it off was in the redesign from the very start anyway and it was something I asked to be changed since yes it's annoying by default.
 
The button you're both looking for is marked 'Auto' just to the right of the video within the 'Playing next' video box.

No, that's video game king. Now what I think, think, he meant was that you can disable the autoplay feature. I don't know how you do that, I have not looked, but it's there. Maybe.

Edit: As a matter of fact, the button is right there. Thank you @RagingLion.

It's already been confirmed that this will have all the same game types as the PSP version, not just the hero type. Also, the new art style is optional. I beat 30 second hero on PSP and I'll get this game the day it gets released.

You're the jerk, why are you insulting others? If he doesn't like it to be default then that's his own taste and opinion.

@Vlaphor: They have all of the eras, but they've completely changed the gameplay style to be just like Hero 30.
 
http://www.mmv.co.jp/special/game/xbla/half-minute-hero/i_en.html
 
From the official site:
"Other games modes that follows the battles of the Hero30 mode are rebuilt into RPG style in Super Mega Neo Climax."
 
Check out the screenshots to confirm that, as you'll see that they've sterilized an amazingly unique RPG for no reason. Half-Minute Hero as it was released on the PSP would've worked perfectly as is on XBLA with new content.

Actually it's 16-bit, but that's great news. My first thought upon watching the trailer was that the new art style looked a bit weird and sort of diminished the charm of the game. I loved the first one, so I might have to pick this up. Then again, if it's just a port of the original with a couple extras features, it might not be enough for me.
