"No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise" Coming To The US

The over-the-top beam sword action of the No More Heroes franchise is exclusive to the Nintendo Wii in the States. That's set to change next year when No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise launches for the PlayStation 3, complete with Move support.

Konami announced the PS3 version of No More Heroes via the official PlayStation blog this afternoon, describing the upcoming Goichi Suda (Suda51) action game as the ultimate Travis Touchdown adventure.

"With its stunning visuals, additional levels of action, improved AI and an incredible level of control, No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise represents a welcome return for one of gaming's most daring creators," Konami stated.

The rundown from the publisher:
In No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise, players journey through the sunny city of Santa Destroy as Travis Touchdown, battling to eliminate some of the world's deadliest assassins. Equipped with a razor sharp Beam Katana sword, players start off as the 11th ranked assassin and try to move up the ranks to position themselves as the ultimate killer. During the course of the game, players encounter Sylvia, a mysterious woman from the United Assassins Association, who arranges fights with other higher ranked assassins to help Travis become the number one in the world.
Developed by AQ Interactive (Vampire Rain), Heroes' Paradise is the PS3 port of the Wii hit No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle (with the aforementioned add-ons). The game is a PS3 exclusive and set for release sometime in 2011.
