Ubisoft Not Publishing No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise (Aka No More Heroes HD)

Grasshopper Manufacture made gamers who missed out on the first No More Heroes (or don't own a Wii) happy with the announcement of an upgraded, visually-tweaked No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The original game is going under the high-definition knife and will be released in its native territory in February. There's some bad news, though. Ubisoft confirmed to me it will not be publishing No More Heroes on Xbox 360 and PS3 in the US.

"Ubisoft will not be publishing either of these versions," a company spokesperson told me.

The company did not provide any reasons why they're passing. But just because Ubisoft is passing on the revamped No More Heroes, doesn't mean the HD-enabled versions of Travis Touchdown's first adventure won't show up here, but another publisher will have to step up.

Ubisoft is still behind the franchise, however, as the company will be publishing the sequel on Wii over here. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle is scheduled for a January release.

The driving part wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't been so horribly made. You could get hit by the invisible walls attached to objects... it was just insane. If they don't fix those amature mistakes for the 360 version, there probably won't be a lot of people rating the game very highly.

Wow, Ubisoft, talk about dropping the ball. The one genre the 360 needs more of is third person fighting/action games. We have enough first/third person shooters. And you pass on this game???? Idiotic move.

I hope they remove the lame driving around part that took enjoyment away from the Wii version, but this looks exciting for sure.
