Not that there was really any doubt, but 'No More Heroes' officially has a NA publisher: Ubisoft. They promise no content will be cut in comparison to the Japanese version and they're expecting an 'M' rating (SHOCKER).
Bonus - release date announced (NA): February 2008

I hope the story is as good as Killer7. This seems fun and all, but definitely looks to be lacking the style and intriguing plot of Kille7.
(That being said, I never saw the pre-release hype for Killer7, so it may be an unfair comparison.)
The pre-release trailers for killer7 involved random bits of dialogue played out of context, interrupted every two seconds by clips of Heaven Smiles being repeatedly shot in the face.
And with that, Ubisoft redeems themselves after all that quick n' dirty Wii porting.
I think it's the best they could have hoped for. Ignoring the crappy ports, Ubisoft was really the only one to jump on the Wii bandwagon from day 1. If they push any sort of advertising on par with what Red Steel or Rayman RR got this game could do much better than in the hands of another publisher.
After Ubisoft started making a game basically titled "Bloody Sword" that was about building up a gang of Yakuza and stabbing people to death and then turned it into a T rated piece of shit about terrible voice acting I was worried that they would severely tone down No More Heroes' content. I'm glad they realize their prior mistakes and are taking a chance with this game.

Fixed that for you. :P
I like Killer 7. So much that I bought it for 5 dollars and traded it in last week for $12.
I'd buy it again for $50 if it came out on the Wii, because while I loved the fucked up story I hated the controls. HATED the controls.
The pre-release trailers for killer7 involved random bits of dialogue played out of context, interrupted every two seconds by clips of Heaven Smiles being repeatedly shot in the face.
Of course, I was burned by Killer7 so I'll wait for reviews and PAer's impressions first.

That last shot in the trailer with Travis going down the road with the windmills is cool as hell.

This game looks better and better with every trailer. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
It always amazes me how these websites are never prepared for the traffic during conferences.
I managed to upload the combo video to YouTube. Will try the other as well.
Publishers can often influence the content of a game even if they're not directly doing the programming.

I'll legally change my name to Segata Sanshiro if the US boxart is half this good.
Possibly.
Also, just for practice.
YOU MUST PLAY SEGA SATURN!
