The low-key masterpieces of 2011 that you probably don’t know about, and why you have to play them. - "If you didn’t pick up Grasshopper Manufacture’s original No More Heroes on Wii then you really missed out. It’s one of the slickest, hilarious and brutal beat-em-ups of this generation. The tale of a hopeless Otaku anime geek turned assassin, No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise is an HD, completely re-mastered version with PlayStation Move support, for all your beam katana duelling needs. No, it’s not a lightsaber; it’s a beam katana alright? Let’s not get the lawyers involved."
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Presenting El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron to a new audience and preserving it for future generations is a great thing, especially considering its cult status. Whether that audience will enjoy it is another matter entirely. Due to its cryptic storytelling, repetitive combat, and clumsy platforming, it doesn't quite escape the orbit of mediocrity. Still, there's a lot to admire, including exciting boss battles, impressive production design, and powerful music. If nothing else, it's an ambitious game with a singular vision. And that's something to celebrate."
Its a pretty cool game. i have the 360 version but Id buy the switch to play on the go.
"The Tokyo-based (Japan) indie games developer crim Co., Ltd., today announced with gret joy and thrill that their unique third-person action adventure "El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster", is now available for the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
It's good to see this legend get a second chance.
Damn, No More Heroes will be out for PS3 and 360? Amazing!
And i have high hopes for Okamiden, since Okami was one of the most brilliant games that i've played in a long time.
Oh, I thought Konami wasn't bringing over the 360 version? Anyways now everyone can play No More Heroes :)
Also does anyone know the manga, Miyuki?
Grasshopper Manufacture is working on a way to make it work with the Kinect. So a 360 version is in the works, it hasn't been official yet. Loved NMH 1 on the Wii, but since I don't have my Wii anymore, I'm getting the PS3 version cuz that's the only system I have right now besides a PC.
Journey indie game of 2011 for sure.
from dust and journey have me most excited from that list, child of eden as well.
