Mobile version of No More Heroes replaces violence with cute chibis !

Gothic Girl | July 09, 2008 | News | Wii Mobile 
Yes, you read the title correctly. A mobile phone version of No More Heroes is being released soon, though it doesn't include the "violence" or "style" that fans know and love from the Wii version. Instead, you play as a cutesy chibi version of Travis, and looks as deep as any typical mobile game.
Maybe the makers should have taken a page out of Square Enix's book and created a more impressive-looking mobile game like Final Fantasy: Before Crisis.
Suda's No More Heroes is violent. It's also really, really stylish. Those are the two things the game's probably most renowned for, so when a Japanese mobile version of the game turns up looking neither stylish nor violent, should you care? Yes! Because there's not just one mobile game, there's three of them, they take Travis and co. and turn them into fat-headed children, and because each game only costs ¥100 (USD$0.95).

    It looks like crap.From the shots it looks like it is a turn-based game.

    Suda 51 must be off his meds. I wonder how this game came to pass anyhow. I guess after a session of smoking some mary j, this was probably the most creative idea they came up with...

    "Cute"? Wow, that is one of the weirdest things I've heard today.
