Grasshopper Manufacture may finally be making the leap to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 with a new No More Heroes game, rumored to have been revealed in the latest issue of Famitsu magazine [Update - yup, it's in there]
And that's about all we know at this stage, other than a supposed title, No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise.
But we can't say that No More Heroes making the high-definition transition from the Wii to the PS3/360 is much of a surprise. Grasshopper lead Goichi Suda has previously expressed his interest in bringing Travis Touchdown and crew to other consoles.
And, considering Suda's interest in Project Natal—and presumably Sony's PS3 motion controller—the No More Heroes franchise seems like a no-brainer kind of port.
Or maybe Suda and crew were motivated by No More Heroes' Japanese publisher Marvelous Entertainment, which has expressed its disappointment with domestic sales on Nintendo's console, hinting at the possibility of up-res ports of its moderately selling Wii games.
We'll know for sure later this week, when Famitsu would likely reveal more.
UPDATE - The game is indeed in the latest issue of Famitsu, which reveals that it's due out in Japan on February 25. Some new stuff being added for the platform jump include Japanese voice-acting and a game mode where the ladies aren't wearing too many clothes.

Basically it is just the first game with smooth HD graphics and a new game mode where Shinobu, Holly Summers, Bad Girl, and I'm guessing Jeanne, Naome, and Sylvia all have less clothes on than before. Oh, and since it comes out Feb 25 in Japan, unless they add motion controls or make a patch for the Western version to use the PS3 and 360 motion controllers, the game will use the standard controllers.
I was excited until I read the release date. So odds are, while looking prettier, this version will be much less fun. It'll be just a button masher hack & slash. The main reasons I loved the first one on the Wii was because of the motion controlled death blows and wrestling moves, oh and Sylvia calling you through the Wii-mote's speaker. That was cool.
I'm sure this version will still be fun to No More Heroes virgins, but it'll feel too gimped to me. So I'm gonna pass on it. But you guys without Wiis that wanted to play this game, by all means, be happy! It is a great game!
