The Grasshopper Title Becomes "No More Heroes"

It's been a while since any information about Grasshopper developed title Heroes was revealed. However, today, there has been an influx of information regarding this game, including a name change. Heroes is No More..No More Heroes, that is.

Famitsu has first details on the game. In No More Heroes, you play as Travis Touchdown, a geek who wins a Beam Katana (a weapon that resembles a Light Saber) through an online auction and uses the weapon to start a new career as a professional killer. One day, an assassin named Helter Skelter appears before Travis and the two face off in a battle. Travis emerges victorious and finds himself in the presence of Silvia Christel, a French chick who claims to be an agent with the UAA (we're not entirely sure, but this appears to stand for United Assassins Association). Silvia gives Travis official rank of 11 in the organization.

T-shirts aside, No More Heroes is all about using your Beam Katana to defeat enemies. When fighting, you position the Wiimote facing up, centered, or facing down in order to move Travis into one of three fighting positions. To perform standard attacks, you repeatedly press the A button.

Interesting information, and we're just glad to know that this game is still in development, especially as it seemed to drop off the radar for a while. We'll bring you more on this as it comes in.
