Grasshopper Manufacturer and Marvelous are in talks about bring previous No More Heroes titles to current consoles

[AlexFlame116]

Thanks to Gematsu and salromano for reporting this!


From an interview with Dengeki Playstation:

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is the first No More Heroes game on a PlayStation platform since No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise. Are there any plans to make previous entries playable on PlayStation 4?

Suda: "Yes. We're currently in talks with Marvelous to make that happen. It's in positive consideration, so I hope we'll be able to make a good announcement."

Finally, is there anything you'd like to say for fans looking forward to the PlayStation 4 version of Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes?

Suda: "The PlayStation 4 version is the Complete Edition with all the downloadable content included. There will also be original collaboration t-shirts exclusive to the PlayStation 4 version, so be sure to play it!"

I'm not a big fan of NMH 2, but i'll play NMH1 on whatever console it shows up on. I almost bought the 360 version of NMH: Heroes Paradise, just a shame it's region locked.

 

[Soulflarz]

I will buy it for the sole sake of supporting it because MAN NMH is good.

 

[Zalman]

I feel like we've been hearing this for years. Just announce it already.

 

[UltraJay]

I'm guessing this includes PC versions too? Travis Strikes Back is coming to PC along with the PS4 version.

[Dreamboum]

He said at Momocon in May that nothing was happening but considering the reaction from the audience, he would come back to Japan and talk to Marvelous about it. It seems he was true to his word

 

[LostSkullKid]

Hopefully Switch versions with motion controls.

 

[NightShift]

Please god please.

 

[Lord Vatek]

I'd buy it for the soundtrack.

 

[Deleted member 19533]

I would like them to come to modern consoles and PC as a collection.

It would also be great if his other titles made it as well.

I'm guessing the exclusive shirts are a replacement for the Zelda ones. I wonder if they'll get something first-party from Sony.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

excellent! i really want to play them before 3.

[MrBS]

Still got the Wii U set up so I can run through the original if I want but I'd love a clearer version on PC.

Very likely, considering there is already a Sony first party game t-shirt in the Switch version.

The open world of the original No More Heroes holds up pretty badly.

I'd rather they do a boss stage ladder but it would probably require a bit of work.

 

[Robin]

I'd pick it up for sure, here's hoping!

 

[Aswitch]

There is a god! Easy day one purchase.

 

[Deleted member 8593]

If NMH3 doesn't reference the constant teasing of NMH1+2 remasters, I will be disappointed.

Yeah it's not great, but after you beat the game i found myself having enough to critical path all of the bosses in subsequent playthroughs. At worst i'd do the 99 enemies mission to rack up a lot of money.

wait...is that in-game digital t-shirts or real physical t-shirts?

 

[Fendajaz]

Pleeeeez

Travis and Badman get Shirts based on indie and aon other Major IPs in game.

 

[YolkFolk]

It was shit at launch.

Click to shrink...

True.

A stage select would be so much better.

I'd imagine new players would find the world almost unplayable and be potentially put off the franchise.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

The time we can ignore that PS3 port is now.

 

[Deleted member 2791]

It'll probably happen but I don't think it'll release until after NMH3, unless it's entirely outsourced.

 

[Dreamboum]

True.

A stage select would be so much better.

It's part of the charm. NMH1 would lose a lot without its open world and doing odd jobs.

 

[PirateKingERA]

I thought Nintendo owned this IP.

 

[Bonejack]

Yes, please. I'd love to replay them without hooking up the Wii again. Also, the world needs more games with Shinobu.

NMH 1 + 2 were on PS3 already, NMH TSA comes to PS4 (and PC?) ... what exactly makes you think that a 3rd party IP is Nintendo owned?

 

[vestan]

I thought Nintendo owned this IP.

Click to shrink...

No, Marvelous does. An 'enhanced' version of No More Heroes made its way to the PS3 years ago.

 

[PirateKingERA]

Yes, please. I'd love to replay them without hooking up the Wii again. Also, the world needs more games with Shinobu.

I didn't know NMH 1 + 2 were on PS4.

 

[Dascu]

Good, would certainly buy and replay NMH1&2 ports.

It's just 1. NMH2 is still Wii exclusive.

 

[rude]

I would buy them again...in a PSN sale.

 

[Bonejack]

Click to shrink...

Ohhh right, the PS3 version of NMH 1 had 5 NMH 2 bosses as an extra. That made me mix up things.

Yeah that's why I thought it's a case like Bayo were Nintendo got the rights to the game even though the first was multiplat.

 

[Oreiller]

Wonder if it means NMH3 is a timed-exclusive?

 

[Deleted member 2791]

Click to shrink...

Most certainly is. Grasshopper can't develop two versions of the game simultaneously with the limited resources they have between them and Marvelous.

 

[Dust]

If it does happen I hope for some gameplay tweaks.

 

[Semajer]

It would be nice if they could include those cut Henry sections from NMH2.

 

[Hamster Plugin]

How is this going to work without motion controls? The PS3 implementation really sucked because you had to click the sticks before moving them to do the sword slash. Playing this game properly is the reason I got a PS Move and its navigation controller.

It was awful from the beginning, but that's kinda the point, no? Having a game with a protag who wants to be "the greatest assassin ever," yet his life is still mundane as all hell.

 

[Host Samurai]

Loved both and would probably double dip on these ports. NMH2 had some ridiculous bosses.

 

[BasilZero]

Yes please!

 

[LabRat]

yes, pls bring them to every console and steam and please leave it uncut

 

[XrossExam]

I recently Platinumed NMH on PS3 and while the game has some serious performance issues, it was still overall an incredible experience.

I hate dealing with the Wii and Wiimotes so playing the game just with a controller and in a more chill environment was excellent. It has easily become one of my favorite video games of all-time.

I would totally buy a collection on Switch to enjoy these gems on the go and in preparation for NMH3.
