No More Heroes to IPO on April 9

Marvelous Interactive Inc’s No More Heroes for the Wii will debut on the simExchange on Monday, April 9, 2007. The game will be categorized under the Action genre. Shares will open for purchase at 50 DKP (forecasts 500,000 copies sold worldwide over lifetime).

No More Heroes (formerly known as “Heroes”), is a new game from Goichi Suda (SUDA-51), who created Killer7. The game is exclusive to the Wii and promises to be one of the more graphically intense games for the Wii. You take the role of Travis Touchdown an aspiring assassin who won a katana through an Internet auction. He dreams to become the world’s #1 ranked assassin.

You can freely roam the city Santa Destroy. Combat involves using the Wii-mote in sword fights. However, rather than having the player use the controller as a sword, you merely have to press A to swing the sword and shake the controller to execute a finishing move. Raising the Wii-mote will change Travis’ battle stance to raising the sword over his head. The game features cel-shaded graphics.
