actually kotaku was a bit late on this one as Nintendo Power interviewed Suda51 a few issues ago before the game was released and he dy mention about how he envisioned the game to be a XBOX title but later got coaxed by Nintendo when they unveil the wii mote to him.

he started off the interview by saying he was mildly disappointed that they couldn't do HD graphics because of the hardware but in the end, IMO i think the art style and character design really came through big time for the game....

and since he is still onboard for fatal frame wii development, he hasn't givenn up on the console entirely.

I've just moved up to position no. 9 in the assassin's ranking.

Had a good laugh while completing the side job of collecting coconuts. A coconut fell on my character's head when he punched the coconut tree.

anyone got their legit copy of this game yet? i couldn't find it anywhere in singapore cos of the ban but decided to still ask some of the retailers.

the funny thing is, instead of informing me that the game is banned there they just tell me in a whisperly voice that it's out of stock or they don't have that game. hahaha, kinda like a taboo..........

has GH/djinn stock arrive yet?

not yet, but getting them

Received my NMH today (12 Feb)
Shipped on 28th Jan by Play-Asia.com, cleared by Msia customs on 5th Feb.

hhmm.. i ordered the same day with u.. hope i get it today... haih..

damn.....for once PA is quicker than our local suppliers!!

I just got it yesterday (means on saturday )

have anybody tried the game ? felt like opening one to play.

seems have good reviews on any game review website.

yes yes.....i saw it sitting on yr shelf yesterday with a very tempting price, rushing over to get a copy now!

i was so tempted to get the NMH frm GH .. probably next month
the reviews are very encouraging for NMH

I bought it from you yesterday. The overworld map is terrible, the graphics are awful (looks like Killer 7's poor sister), and some of the jobs you have to do to make money are WTF? Carrying coconuts? Mowing the lawn?

But the actual combat (the main gist of the game) is brilliant. So much fun. And so bloody. I like!

ouch, talk about being blunt and brute.....i just got back with my copy of the game too, the previews did look like killer7 graphics, i wonder if it's done on the same engine? aiya ya, at least the off-beat characters will keep me interested.

kotaku reported that this game is selling better in US than it did in JP, this plus better-than-expected sales of the recent Umbrella Chronicles means we should see more from the likes of Suda and Capcom on the platform, hooray!

Hehehe, the game is still fun, I was just a little shocked that the graphics were a step back from Killer 7, (which I thought looked amazing).

Did Djinn have any copies of the new advance wars?

i see what you mean about the overview maps now, hahaha! it's certainly intentional and seems to be pretty prevalent in grasshopper studios game, like Contact for the DS.

i'm addicted to travis' world now..... got to find those hidden t-shirts!

NMH is awesome !! especially the slashing part ... perhaps next 2 months, i'll get it.
gosh~ income tax ...
sihumchai, what's yr opinion ? i bet you're busy playing it ?

NMH was supopse to be one of my "games to buy" when i get a wii........tat n brawl....n now both coming out soon and still no money for wii..... ....

aiseh..bose just reminded me of income tax.....

I should mention I don't have any problems with the art direction. I like all the 8-bit style icons and sound effects, and I like the way the characters are drawn and everything. But you see the frame rate drop when going around town, the terrible wall and floor textures, the way textures clash or break into each other, and it's shocking. PS1-grade. But other times it looks great. The character design is great, the voice acting is wonderful.

If you watch the first No More Heroes trailer on Travis's TV in his house... it's incredible. *That* is how No More Heroes should've looked like. I'm sure that's how it would've turned out if Grasshopper had more money.

Call me mah.. Been waiting till bored already..

@ bose: Before I could reply you, you probably know what my answer is already

i did watch the trailer at travis' apartment, so funny to heard how travis and helter sketler have swapped voices.....
speaking of voices, the VO talent are excellent, after all kris zimmerman is the one at the helm (VO director behind MGS1-4/Eternal Darkness).

The trailer just look outrageous, pretty much like the what you would expect from cutscenes but a bit too far-fetched to expect that in gameplay. Call me biased but given Suda51 track record, anymore money spent on the game would be far too risky, later he might just end up selling toilet paper for real given the sales figures now.




i called you mah......but you never answer or return call
