San Francisco ? January 22, 2008 ? Today, Ubisoft, one of the world's
largest video game publishers, announced today that No More Heroes(TM),
the highly anticipated action game exclusively for the Wii(TM) home
video game system from Nintendo, has shipped to store shelves.
Developed
by Grasshopper Manufacture under the direction of famed video game
creator Goichi Suda (Suda 51), No More Heroes tells the story of Travis
Touchdown, an otaku living in the fictional town of Santa Destroy,
California. After an unexpected turn of events, Travis finds himself
with a new job, at the bottom of the United Assassins Association
(UAA). Ranked the 11th best assassin in the world, Travis will have to
prove himself worthy and defeat 10 other killers ? all with deep and
quirky stories of their own ? to make his way to the top of the
assassin's league.
No More Heroes realizes the dream of Wii
players everywhere; as they wield the Wii Remote(TM) to not only
control Travis' beam katana but also perform spectacular wrestling
moves, all during the course of his bloody journey to become number one.
Featuring
avant-garde graphics, a unique storyline and a bizarre band of
characters that could only come from the creative mind of Suda 51, No
More Heroes enters players into a stylized world filled with edgy
gameplay, one unlike anything else on the Wii.
