Heroes’ Paradise adds No More Heroes 2 bosses
No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise is coming to North America and Europe for PlayStation 3 by way of Konami next year. It’ll include a lot more extra content than its original Japanese release, including Move support and additional bosses.
A recent interview with Konami manager Tak Fuji revealed details on just who those additional bosses are.
“All of the additional bosses in the game are from No More Heroes 2,” Fuji told GameSugar during the interview, “making this much more than just the original Wii game. We’re huge fans of the whole No More Heroes franchise, and we see this game not as a port, but a fan’s tribute to both games.”
Fuji also explained why the Xbox 360 version of Heroes’ Paradise was left out in the localization process.
“By having the PlayStation Move controller, it’s much easier to keep the interaction true to the original, so going to the PS3 was a pretty natural choice,” he said.
“We have, and are still tossing around ideas for linking No More Heroes with the Kinect for Xbox 360 gamers, but since the Kinect is such a unique device, it’s a bit more difficult. This isn’t to say that the Kinect is a poor interface by any means, but more that in its uniqueness it requires a bit more care and planning to bring Travis to the Xbox 360. So if we were to do so, we’d need more time.”
No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise launches for PlayStation 3 in 2011.
