I got a reply to my email...

Thanks for your e-mail. We know there has been much speculation in the press this week over what some people consider to be the censoring of our brilliant new action RPG, No More Heroes.

We?d like to bring to your attention the recent joint statement by Suda 51 (the game?s writer and director) and Yasuhiro Wada, (President of Marvelous Digital Contents Company) the game?s Japanese publisher regarding the release of No More Heroes in Europe.

?First, let me say how honoured I am that everyone in Europe is expecting No More Heroes. The sales point of this game is action. Both I and Wada san have concentrated on making the best possible action game for the Nintendo Wii. We have chosen to release in Europe the same version as has shipped in Japan considering the broadly growing Wii market.?

So, to be clear, Rising Star Games has not censored No More Heroes. The decision to release the same game as that successfully released in Japan was taken by the game creators.

Here is a link to the joint statement from trade weekly MCV?s site:

Also, please check out these great previews, each highlighting that fundamentally the action, characterisation, story and humour are the key elements to this highly anticipated gaming masterpiece.

Your usual PR bullshit.

No More Heroes had blood and decapitations, and everything from the very beginning, the only reason it was censored in Japan is because of the laws taht were passed a few years ago. In Japan, Resident Evil 4 is censored, but outside of Japan you can get the uncut version of it in Europe and Australia (as well as the US)... This is all complete bullshit, I demand to have the game complete and uncut just like Resident Evil 4 and just like Killer7.
