Even though I do own this on Wii, I will probably end up getting it for 360.  I wonder how the achievements will be in this game.

My that is quite a surprise, sure quite a bit of people who did not play the original will be very happy with this announcement. Well they should be since it is a great game.
 
I am pro Very sweet mode by the way.

Definitely getting the 360 version. The achievements will be awesome! 

Troll mode:
 
Now even more people can be disappointed with the empty open world, poor combat, and boring driving segments.

Well, since the game is close to being released, shouldn't there be at least a couple of screenshots or some videos?

Images added to the OP

This makes me extremely fucking happy.

The game wasn't meant to be about any of that - It's all about the kickass boss fights. That's it. Think of it as a modern, and really weird, Shadow of the Colossus (Which by the way had an even emptier world, terrible horse controls, and no combat - you could think of the fights as more of a puzzle rather than combat). "

If costumes is the only real change I won't bother trying to play it. Definitely a surprise after Suda's talk of how motion controls are the best way to play the game, despite the addition of classic controller support for the sequel. I wonder how it will be rated on reviews (and how it will sell compared to the sequel since the franchise is now more known than when it made its debut). If the graphics are much better I expect they'll overlook any of the faults they found on the original even if they're identical... Does it actually confirm they're doing the port themselves? It seems to contradict the last few interviews. I saw the high-res scans and while they're bad quality I don't think the changes are enough to call it a remake.

that game kicked ass. im happy for 360 & ps3 owners, you all should pick it up!!
*hopes in vain for a vastly superior pc version* (despite having played the original)

But on the 360? What will you do, swing your whole controller with both hands? I guess PS3 may become the definitive newcomer's version though.

yay ill finally get to play this... IF its the uncensored version. fucking european wii version...

I think HD blood is a certainty. 

They're saying February so I'm doubting it'll have neither Playstation Motion Controller support, nor Natal. They could patch it I suppose.
 
It's a shame no Playstation Motion Controller support though. If that thing really does hit in April-ish, it could have been the big "coming out" title as I expect Sony will launch it with some rubbishy mini-game things.
 
We'll see.

I wonder if it coincides with the release of the sequel on Wii and if that will affect ratings similar to a recent game >_>

Good. Now I don't have to bring my Wii out of the garage.

Awesome! I always want to play it!

I'll probably get this on PS3. It's one of my favourite games on Wii, so I don't mind buying it again to experience some of the new features.

I'll be playing this by then (hopefully):

Awesome. But I wonder, will they put back the blood in the non-American versions? That censor was pretty lame.

It does make for a good mirror situation to Modern Warfare, doesn't it?

i need this!!

I think he was reffering to my comment about the reviewers' response to a 2-years-late port coming at just about the same time as the sequel on another platform. Meaning wondering if they will deduct points for that silly reason, as many outlets unfairly did for Reflex Edition. The popularity differences of the franchises have nothing to do with it. Though if you want to look at it in that way then the release of Modern Warfare for Wii is certainly more important for the platform than the release of No More Heroes elsewhere. Anyway, it seems the port isn't by Grasshopper and they only hold a "supervising" role for this project. I guess they have their hands full with No More Heroes 2 and that EA game or whatever other projects they have been working on. From this alone I would gather it's a port with the extra elements mentioned and not anything resembling a remake.

Because people with the magazine (via GAF) say it states Grasshopper has a supervising role. If they made it up I don't know, that's lame.

Enhanced port is a buzz word now? It sounds like a simple enough description of the situation to me, if we go by the current pics and info. You can't call it a direct port as it does have a couple of different elements (not unlike any average port honestly, even PS3 ToVesperia has extra content etc) but on the other hand it's still a far cry from a remake. Unless the eventual direct feed images show a vastly improved look that I'm missing now.

When did i imply the port is worse off because of it? I merely said that it's another piece of information that hints at this project being just that, a port, as they probably wouldn't have the authority to completely remake or make prominent additions and changes to Suda's and Grasshopper's work.

You didn't :O, I'm just saying if it's made by developers with more experience of the platforms, that's better.

Well it's probably not an issue of experience, just that they have their hands full. I'm pretty sure they have PS360 projects of their own.

They have little to no experience of making games on 360 and PS3, that's partly why Suda has teams in his studio is working on joint projects. They have less than a hundred employees (just over 70) so that's definitely the case. Grasshopper are not known for their technical proficiency in making games on any platform, the games they've made in the past have always had technical issues.

Having few employees just adds to the lack of staff to handle the port assumption though... It was partly why I said it.

As I said with GTA Chinatown Wars, if it doesn't sell on a more popular system, it won't sell on least popular ones.
 
But great for those who somehow don't have Wii's to enjoy this game if they were interested in it before.
 
I don't have the game, but still.

Ah, now we can't make fun of our friends while they are imitating jerking off with their controllers.  =  (

Except Modern Warfare is one of the major releases in entertainment history and No More Heroes is a cult classic.  Although I wonder if Very Sweet mode will affect Bad Girl.  She was HOT!!!!!!!!!! "

i really hope they dont mess up in porting the control scheme. i will be getting this either way.

great news, i can finally play this. 

Well, I wanted to play No More Heroes again anyway.  Have Bitter Mode be unlocked from the beginning and I'm doubly in.

She's wearing a very suggestive outfit in one of the scans posted by Linkyshinks, look there if you're curious.

 Yeah, that's the only things my friends remember from No More Heroes when they saw me play it. "

This makes me a very happy hobo.
