    There may be some differences between the 360 and PS3 versions of No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise. Siliconera have noted, an Amiami retail listing lists the 360 version as being the same spec as North American version of the game, with the same blood and violence as that version. The PS3 listing however doesn't state that, suggesting that perhaps the PS3 version will be censored.

    The Japanese Wii version was censored too.  Like the article says, MS is willing to go with the Cero Z rating, but retail wise that's the equivalent of an AO rating in the US, it destroys sales.

    the PS3 has a much bigger customer base in Japan then the 360 so censoring it would make sense. i am still sticking with my Wii version :D wish it stayed an exclusive. makes me sad it isn't :(

    The Japanese and European releases were censored on Wii in the same way. In Europe, it's not happening with the sequel due early next year on Wii

    If it is true, this could just be natively in Japan, the PS3 version may still be intact for the NA release.

    That'd be my guess, there's no reason to censor the game for NA.  In Japan though they have a chance of getting a ton of extra sales because a censored version can actually be sold out in the open in stores.

    Amiami are one of the largest if not thee largest hobby shop in Japan, it's an Otaku's haven. They sell videogames, DVD's, scale models, robots, figurines and comics. 
     
     
    Here's the English version of their site: 
     
    http://www.amiami.com/shop?set=english    
     
    They always have very cool videogame related stuff... It's best avoided if you like to spend  :)

    It would definitely be a good move.  The 360 version is unlikely to sell well, but if they made theres uncensored, it would definitely boost the sales for the really hardcore fans, at least.

    That's garbage! Although, I would definitely pick up the 360 version if I was over there because No More Heroes without gore and blood would be extremely lame. 
     
    If it comes here the PS3 version probably won't be censored.

    I'm sure that if the PS3 version makes it to North America, It will be uncensored.

    The United States and blood go hand in hand.  Show a nipple though, and this game won't see the light of day in this country.

    On a side note, now that ubi has dropped it, who you do think will pick it up for NA release?

    I think the NA version will be safe, even if the European version may not be (- eg: No More Heroes Wii).  You can of course import a copy if that lame scenario arises. I should also point out the games sequel on Wii, will come to Europe with two versions - a censored and uncensored type. So maybe there's hope. But even more so, perhaps the nature of the PS3's prime userbase, unlike that on Wii, will make them feel it cannot be censored in the West without negative ramifications.

    @Linkyshinks: Yeah, the European version was really lame in comparison to the American version, the lack of gore killed a very important part of the overall atmosphere of the game (ashes instead of blood, really?).

    It was a spray of coins.  It was indeed lame in comparison. Nintendo fanboys in Europe will tell you they didn't care, but they do. The worst kind will tell you it was actually better than the blood ^ ^ 
     
    I was forced me to buy the NA version, which I can only play on my Japanese Wii using a Freeloader disc.

    The coin shower was in both censored and uncensored versions, the blood was replaced with a different effect which I guess could be ashes. The game was still great censored, the crazy storyline was intact, and the swearing (I think, I didn't watch it all). Bad Girl was the most radical change though all the death scenes left a lot to be desired, obviously. No dismemberment or death animation was visible since they dissolved on strike.
