One day, an assassin named Helter Skelter appears before Travis and the two face off in a battle. Travis emerges victorious and finds himself in the presence of Silvia Christel, a mysterious French woman who claims to be an agent with the UAA. Silvia gives Travis official rank of 11 in the organization. Now, it's up to you to become #1.

No More Heroes takes place in the city of Santa Destroy, and you are free to explore the town to your liking, taking on missions large and small to collect money and purchase new weapons as you work up towards the 10 main killing contracts. Gameplay is all about using your Beam Katana (via Wii remote) to defeat enemies.

First SSBB, then Sadness, now No More Heroes? Imma get me a Wii.

Been excited for No More Heroes ever since Red Steel turned out to be shittake.

I just hope the mechanics are alot more than just swinging wildly.

You just swing around when you have to do a wrestling or finishing move, so there's actually a lack of waggling around.

Man, No more heroes is why February is the new Christmas.

That and Brawl and Apollo Justice and Advance Wars Day of Ruin, but that one's technically late January.

'08 Q1 is looking good.

Don't forget Dragon Quest Swords.

Wow. I always thought this game was a joke... what with the names and the screenshots that look like sub-N64. Is this really coming out or is it an April Fools Joke? Furthurmore, I really don't see why I should be excited about this. Help?

there is a "cards" option on that menu up there, that, and a bunch of Otaku stuff on that guy's house.

So we have a lot of collectables on this game for sure

Although i really dont like the quality of that SC... really, it DOES look N64-ish

and i REALLY hope that it's not "1 kill per mission" until you become number 1... that would render the game too short!

Most reports say the graphics are alot like Wind Waker in application - you look at screenshots and you gotta scratch your head and wonder what the hell. But in actual moving videos it's smooth and crisp.

The reason it's exciting is because they're not going with Twilight Princess-style action. They're taking things in a really cool new direction; instead of waggling around like crazy and getting exhausted for basic attacks you just hit A, and if you want to do impressive supermoves and finishers you have to do on-screen instructions. There's also pro-wrestling moves you can do.

Basically, you should care because it's shaping up to be a sword-fighting game for the Wii that not only doesn't suck but it plans on making fun of itself - the guy's an otaku nut.

The city is called "Santa Destroy, California", for example, and he gets the beamsword on eBay.

I have zero interest in this game.

However, it's title is very scary when looking at the forum index and, with the help of dyslexia, thinking it is the name of the most recent topic in TV & Movies.
