Kyllä tätä odotellaan.

Jossainvaiheessa Suda selitti, että tästä tulisi raaempi, kuin Manhunt 2, mutta saas nähdä.

Toivotaan, ettei jaa Manhuntin kohtaloa.

Dear Mr. Barclay

Tons of complaints have arisen on many different gaming related messageboards concerning Rising Star Games' decision of publishing a censored non-bloody version of No More Heroes for European market. Gamers believe, that the violence in this game is so over the top and cartoonish that it can't be taken seriously. Blood is also an essential part of this game's style and Suda51's vision. This decision will probably hurt No More Heroes sales in Europe as many angry gamers are even now swearing not to buy this game because of censorship. Some are even thinking of importing a US-Wii and US No More Heroes as a result of your decision.

You should now realize, that this game is something Wii-owners have anticipated since the system's launch back in December 2006 and that the game has great potential. Rising Star Games should also remember that Wii has parental controls and the parents can control their children's gaming with them. This game is not a party game, casual game or a kid's game. We have seen enough of those on Wii. This game is pure hard core for adults and it should remain so with all the blood Suda51 intended to put in it.

By the way, have you played Gears of War on Xbox360? Loads of realistic blood and gore, but it still was published the way it was, also in Europe and I think it did quite well in terms of sales. Self-censorship is never a good thing...

Sincerely

Kaikista pahin juttuhan tässä on se, että se "FUCK YOU!" vihollista teilatessa ei tule tuntumaan luultavasti niin siistiltä ilman massiivista veriruiskua.

Muka-cool peli IMO.

Rope plesellä jossa lentää VERTA! Imen kyllä seuraavista rahoista tuon kokoelmaani.

No, leikki sikseen. Tuli kerrankin vain sellainen olo, että teenpä jotakin enkä ainoastaan ruikuta ja niin pitäisi tehdä useamminkin.

Thanks for your e-mail.  We know there has been much speculation in the press this week over what some people consider to be the censoring of our brilliant new action RPG, No More Heroes. 

We’d like to bring to your attention the recent joint statement by Suda 51 (the game’s writer and director) and Yasuhiro Wada, (President of Marvelous Digital Contents Company) the game’s Japanese publisher regarding the release of No More Heroes in Europe. 

“First, let me say how honoured I am that everyone in Europe is expecting No More Heroes.  The sales point of this game is action. Both I and Wada san have concentrated on making the best possible action game for the Nintendo Wii. We have chosen to release in Europe the same version as has shipped in Japan considering the broadly growing Wii market.”

So, to be clear, Rising Star Games has not censored No More Heroes.  The decision to release the same game as that successfully released in Japan was taken by the game creators.

Here is a link to the joint statement from trade weekly MCV’s site:

Also, please check out these great previews, each highlighting that fundamentally the action, characterisation, story and humour are the key elements to this highly anticipated gaming masterpiece.

Why the decision [to add in additional gory detail to the US release] has been made is a difficult one for me to comment on - that's a Ubisoft decision for the North American market.

^Slol, katsopa tuon sivun muut arvostelut. Esim. Red steel sai kasin -> WTF?

Todella tyylikäs kansi. Eipä vaan taida olla Euroopassa sama.
