Europe to get two versions of No More Heroes 2, Japan to possibly get neither
Last time around, Europe ended up with the censored Japanese version of No More Heroes, with less blood. (People were still dismembered and cut into pieces, but less blood spurted out in the censored version. Apparently that makes it less violent.) According to Eurogamer, No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle will come in two flavours in Europe. One super violent version, and one slightly less super violent version for places that won’t allow the former version, such as Germany.
So which version will Japan get? Well, if you look at the press release, possibly neither. Tentacle rape anime porn aside, Japan is strict with its censorship laws. On top of that, the original No More Heroes didn’t sell too well in Japan. It tooks 20 minutes before someone bought a copy at the official launch event, and even that was a just a Famitsu reporter. (Apparently autographed toilet paper wasn’t enough of an incentive for most folks.)
Well, I can say I’m happy to live in North America. I need to satisfy my bloodlust.
