==Cover art==
The game won't be out in North America or Europe for months, so can anyone track down an image of the Japan version's boxart to feature in the article until then (or upload it if you have the Japan version of the game)? Be weary though, I've found there's a number of fakes. [[User:Rtiztik|Vixen Windstorm]] ([[User talk:Rtiztik|talk]]) 16:22, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

==Blood in US Version only?==
Seems that the European version will be the same as the Japanese version - also censored. See http://wii.ign.com/articles/840/840443p1.html?RSSwhen2007-12-10_021500&RSSid=840443. This should be fixed on the page. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.148.118.195|24.148.118.195]] ([[User talk:24.148.118.195|talk]]) 14:04, 10 December 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==Reception==
Info in the Reception section does not include trivial matters as a lack of attendance at a game promotion. Such info is irrelevant, and has nothing to do with how the game plays or whether or not it scores well among reviewers. The source for this info is more of a blog or forum than a true entertainment site anyway, and does not supply an in-depth review of the game; thus it is not needed in the article. [[User:Comandante42|Comandante42]] ([[User talk:Comandante42|talk]]) 22:38, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
:: Reception doesn't just refer to how a game scores amongst reviewers. Movies, books, and video games can be critics' darlings and complete commercial failures. Hopefully, that will not turn out to be the case for NMH. However, the lack of attendance at its launch is important in that it is indicative of the kind of chilly reception it's currently receiving in Japan (it's sitting at [http://www.m-create.com/ranking/ 38<sup>th</sup> place] in sales), which in turn is important information on how a game is received. And if I can help it, it will provide a great contrast to the booming sales it is going to receive in North America. (Additionally, how can launch attendance and public reception not be important when each of the consoles has an entire page dedicated to a play-by-play of their respective launches?)

:::The sales figures of a game are rarely if ever included in articles, and I have yet to see an article that includes details about a poorly attended (or well attended) launch event. Such info is basically trivia, which has no importance in articles here. The Reception section is reserved for reviews and scores of the game, so that a reader of the article can judge the game by its quality rather than how much it sold. Good games can have terrible sales and bad games can be sold out in a matter of days. Quality, not quantity, is key. [[User:Comandante42|Comandante42]] ([[User talk:Comandante42|talk]]) 21:18, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
:::: Sales figures are frequently included in game articles. Please see the following featured articles that are just a few examples:</br>
::::• ''[[Chrono Trigger#Reception and criticism|Chrono Trigger]]'' </br>
::::• ''[[Devil May Cry 2#Reception|Devil May Cry 2]]''</br>
::::• ''[[Final Fantasy IV#Reception|Final Fantasy IV]]''</br>
::::• ''[[Half-Life 2#Reception|Half-Life 2]]'' Etc.</br>
:::: Note that the featured article ''[[Halo 2#Reception|Halo 2]]'' details sales at its launch party. I have not attempted to look for others, but there may be more out there. I assume that the reason why launch party sales are typically not included is because they are not reported. Only when games are massive hits (like ''Halo 2'') or massive failures (like ''No More Heroes'') at their launch are sales reported widely.
:::: Wikipedia is not a buying guide. The article is not here to allow readers to judge whether it would be a good idea to purchase the game. The article is meant to give an overview of all relevant information about an item, including the things that would be of general interest. As trivia is not of general interest, it is not included. However, sales figures are relevant and of great interest, to consumers, publishers, developers, trend analysts, governments, and perhaps even historians.
:::: Additionally, please do not revert my edit inserting sales figures from a Japanese site. You may not be able to read it but I can. And if you were to run it through a translator, I bet you could too. If you hadn't noticed, there is already a citation in the article to a Japanese site (the staff listing.) It is perfectly acceptable to cite foreign-language sources. That is why, in the reference template, there is the parameter for "language". As you can see in citation #10, the language of the page is put in brackets in grey font after the link to indicate that it is a foreign-language source. Surely the language parameter's inclusion in the citation template demonstrates that foreign-language sources are allowed.

::::: I didn't know about the policy regarding language in sources, and I already know of sales figures in other articles despite their rarity, but you haven't explained away the use of Kotaku.com as a source for the rest of it. The site is a blog and the info provided isn't sales info or a review. Its just a detail about an unsuccessful launch event at a store, and has almost no value to the article. Yes, articles about games like Halo detail launch events, but not about a specific event that happened at one store (by the way, sorry if you thought I referred to all launch events in general; I meant specific events like this). It isn't explained how well the game did at other stores at launch, if similar events were even held, etc. Its like saying a Best Buy in a particular city had a party for the release of a game, or that no one came to a book signing at a Barnes and Noble for the book of some author. The story is extremely trivial. Sales figures (since they are available) are a better illustration than the story of the success of the game. [[User:Comandante42|Comandante42]] ([[User talk:Comandante42|talk]]) 22:46, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::: It's hardly rare. It seems almost every featured I click on gives sales figures. I cannot, however, speak for B-class or Start class articles. If you have an issue with [[Kotaku]] as a source, this can be easily swapped out for another source as many different sites reported it. It is sales info however. Just as the ''Halo 2'' article lists how much money was spent at its launch, Kotaku (or another, if you take issue with Kotaku) report exactly how much money was spent at NMH's launch: $0. Or rather, one copy was purchased (at least in the first 20 minutes.) If it is notable when a game sells many copies at launch, the inverse should also be true. Success and failure are equally noteworthy and serve to give the reader a bigger picture of the game's impact. As for why the sales for this one store are reported: this is where the launch <i>party</i> was held, similar to how launch parties were held in specific places for other games and consoles, and the only place where Suda 51 and Wada were present. It's noteworthy that no one showed up for the launch party. The bias you mention (i.e. what about sales at other stores?) is, I think, adequately dealt with by then mentioning its first-day sales. The meagre first-day sales reflect the (puzzling) lack of interest Japan has for the game, which is perfectly illustrated by its unattended launch event.[[User:Clicketyclick|<span style="color:indigo;font-family:blackmoor let;font-size:medium;">'''clicketyclick'''</span>]]<sub>[[User talk:Clicketyclick|<span style="color:green;">''yaketyyak''</span>]]</sub> 23:09, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::: Well, I'm still not convinced that the info is necessary. It may be because I have relatively limited knowledge of how the vast majority of Wikipedia articles are formatted (so many articles are missing info or have too much, there is no outright template for article formation). The story just seems so out of place and insignificant compared to what I've in other articles. Since everyone disagrees, though, I suppose I have no choice but to wash my hands of the matter and accept consensus.

== Release date ==

It's not an opinion that IGN/GS summary pages are frequently wrong. It is an observable fact that goes to the summary pages' [[WP:RELY|reliability]] (they do not have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy as far as the summary pages are concerned.) Additionally, the date is not [[WP:VERIFY|verifiable]] as Ubisoft's site does not even have a page on NMH and there have been no press releases announcing the date. It appears that IGN made up the date out of thin air.

We've had constant problems over at ''[[The Orange Box]]'' thanks to GS/IGN not updating their game summary pages; the European release date was moved up (from the 14<sup>th</sup> to the 11<sup>th</sup>) but neither of their game summary pages reflect that — even though you can find the [http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/halflife2episode2/news.html?sid=6183640&tag=newlyadded;title;1 press release] confirming the change on GS's site!

No site's summary page (nor Amazon or any retailer) is very reliable for release date information. It comes down to this: if they have it right and you know that because the company announced it, then you should be citing the company's statement. And if you have no clue if they've got it right because the companies involved didn't announce anything then where the hell did they get the date from anyway? [[User:Clicketyclick|<span style="color:indigo;font-family:blackmoor let;font-size:medium;">'''clicketyclick'''</span>]]<sub>[[User talk:Clicketyclick|<span style="color:green;">''yaketyyak''</span>]]</sub> 23:43, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

:I'm not so sure. In all of the times I have used IGN, the site has never given me any false info, and was always right about the release dates. Therefore discounting IGN as a source is an opinion; we both have different experiences with IGN, and we cannot prove either side of the argument because we are both biased and lack concrete evidence of accuracy/inaccuracy (although if we automatically distrust all sites like IGN, then we end up with little to add to video game articles). Since I dislike extended arguments over trivial matters, however, I'll remove the info myself. On a side note, I wasn't aware that citing release dates was ever necessary, but I guess unreleased video games are an exception. [[User:Comandante42|Comandante42]] ([[User talk:Comandante42|talk]]) 00:39, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

:: I'm not saying that IGN (and GS) as a whole are not trustworthy. Only that their summary pages are unreliable. Taking the example of GS, I find that the article they have on the press release of the release date is reliable, but its summary page listing the (incorrect) release date (still to date!) is not. The difference is that, while IGN/GS's reporting is reliable, their dedication to updating games' summary pages is not. No matter how many times you have found IGN/GS to be accurate in listing release dates, that they have gotten them incorrect (and still haven't corrected them to this day) is enough to disqualify them as having a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy on their game summary pages (again, not their articles.)

:: Release dates don't appear to be cited on a lot of articles, but in accordance with [[WP:VERIFY]], if a release date is likely to be challenged (i.e. unreleased game or a game that changed its release date multiple times, causing confusion), it must be cited with a reliable source.

== The game was never called "HERO'S" ==

I've NEVER EVER seen anyone but IGN call the game that, I did a Google search (http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&q=%22suda+51%22+%22HERO%27S%22+-%22ign%22&btnG=Search) for any mention to "HERO'S" that didn't also mention IGN, I saw absolutely no results other than misspellings of "No More Heroes" or referring to a "hero" in a Suda 51 game.

Someone needs to come up with better proof than "IGN said so" if that false piece of information should stay.

== Character Page ==
I think there should be an article for the characters in this game. I hope I'm not alone when I say that the characters in this game are definitely interesting/eccentric enough to warrant a seperate article.

== Spoilers in Plot section ==

Unless I'm mistaken, and I very well could be, Jeane's role in the game is meant to be a plot twist revealed near the end, making her description in the Plot section of the article a spoiler.

== Updates on sales ==
Does anyone know how many copies of this game have been currently sold at this point. Afterall, Febuary was four months ago, so the game should have at least sold a little more. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.184.88.239|24.184.88.239]] ([[User talk:24.184.88.239|talk]]) 05:41, 15 June 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==Pure White Lover Bizarre Jelly==
There used to be a wikipedia article for it, now there isn't. It's also not even mentioned in this article at all, despite it having a significant relation to the main character and many of his special abilities, etc. Not to mention Suda51 has also had talks of creating a realistic version of his fictional anime as a continuation of the NMH universe. --[[Special:Contributions/136.142.46.124|136.142.46.124]] ([[User talk:136.142.46.124|talk]]) 15:52, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

== DESPERATE STRUGGLE ==

WOOT!! I can't believe it's actually coming already but there is no console it's named for..... and from the title it might even be a DS game since some DS games like to come out DS slipped into the name [[User:Vault9Dweller|Vault9Dweller]] ([[User talk:Vault9Dweller|talk]]) 05:02, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

== Add to plot ==

Wikipedia plots do not only contain a "summary", but the entire plot involving the ending. [[WP:WAF]]. Please finish it (no pun intended) [[Special:Contributions/66.57.44.247|66.57.44.247]] ([[User talk:66.57.44.247|talk]]) 03:19, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

== Henry's dialogue ==

I just made an edit changing "Henry reveals that Sylvia was his wife, they have a daughter together, and she did make everything up, and has a habit of disappearing before returning with lots of money (presumably due to conning people)." to "Henry reveals that Sylvia was his wife, and has a habit of disappearing before returning with lots of money (presumably due to conning people)."

Henry doesn't say he has a daughter with Sylvia, nor does he confirm explicitly that the UAA was a con. The ending can be viewed on this video on youtube: [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=VjEMuJ6vHZc&feature=related No more heroes real ending]

== Award section. ==

I just felt the reception is good and quite mixed between the ups and downs and it wouldn't hurt to have a little something after such positive reviews. There's nothing wrong with the article but it would be nice if there is something that stands out in the article. I already added the Game of the Year awards from Gamespot so consider that as a New Year present.

== Lovikov Balls question ==

It says in the article "After each technique taught by Lovikov is learned, the Lovikov balls are again scattered randomly across town." I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding what's written here but this isn't how it is in the game. You can collect all the balls in one go if you desire and even if you do collect them seven at a time the locations of the remaining balls aren't continually randomised because there are maps of the locations of the balls available. [[User:Kurushi|Kurushi]] ([[User talk:Kurushi|talk]]) 15:31, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

: I agree with you, on both what's written and what happens in-game. The balls are described at [[List of characters in No More Heroes#Randall Lovikov]], including references to ''[[killer7]]'', so I suggest removal of the text. [[User:Flatscan|Flatscan]] ([[User talk:Flatscan|talk]]) 22:49, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Merging Heroes' Paradise into this article

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Withdrawn. QuietCicada - Talk 16:22, 16 December 2023 (UTC) Original comment: Since Heroes' Paradise is just an enhanced port (graphical improvements, minor convenience features, a few bonus boss fights) of No More Heroes with basically the same gameplay, how about adding to No More Heroes a paragraph about the changes, and adding the Heroes' Paradise reception in a subsection of Reception. Persona 5#Persona 5 Royal is a good example of what I'd like it to look like. QuietCicada - Talk 14:13, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose I'm going to have to give a thumbs down to this merge suggestion, because the game's more than just a simple remaster. If the changes are solely graphical, I am more than willing to support a merge, but I also dislike merging for merging's sake when a game has some kind of distinct features, and this has new jobs, missions, bosses, modes and features in addition to the redone graphics. I also believe it wasn't the version ported to PC, making it something of a standalone oddity. Sometimes people forget Wikipedia is not paper and does not have to compress articles to the smallest amount possible. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:06, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: A section documentanting the changes, as well as a paragraph in the reception section in the main article is more than sufficient. OceanHok (talk) 06:34, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I'm a little skeptical of the notability of derivative titles, but in this case there are nuanced differences between the original, the Japanese and international Heroes Paradise versions and Red Zone due to an uneven localisation process, which seems on face value to be an interesting chapter of development. There's also some detail that could be added about the additional game modes. The article doesn't do a stellar job of describing the additions currently, but there is some value in having a standalone article providing more space to explain, even if it currently doesn't do that so well. The review sources also seem to go into some length of assessing the technical issues around the port's performance and controls on console. I don't know the game very well, so if the additions really are that superficial, even if complicated, please let me know. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 12:05, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
