Nintendo Wii Fanboy

I don't know.

Rising Star made a pre-emptive move to remove the No More Heroes blood without even submitting it to the BBFC, or any other European ratings board, I believe. So it's hard to say what rating the "real" game would have got. Our Pal versions of Resident Evil 4 got a 15 rating and, in terms of extraordinary violence, I really don't see a great deal of difference between that and NHM.

I think Rising Star kinda punked out on the issue, seeing he Manhunt fiasco, and all that. But I don't think Sega would react in a similar fashion. There Will Be Blood. If that's what you're after. But agree with you: without the fountains of red it would be a little pointless.

The guy looks like he's caught Chun Li thumb.

Graphically, i doubt it, although the black-and-white style will hide some of the more texture-based impurities, but the core issues of polygon count don't seem to have been resolved

Gameplay wise, it'll be a wholly different beast, i think
