No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise gets a North American Release Date

It is time to dust off your PlayStation Move.  Konami launched No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise in Europe today and with it a North American release date of August 16^th 2011.  I, for one, have only taken the Move off of its charging cradle to play Resident Evil 5 and am looking forward having a reason to use it again.

For those not in the know, Heroes Paradise is the HD port of the 2008 Wii title No More Heroes.   It will be exclusive to the PlayStation 3 in North America and will fully support the PlayStation Move.  If you’re among those who refuse to give your thumbs a rest you can still play Heroes Paradise with the DualShock 3 controller.

The two No More Heroes titles that have previously been released for the Wii are among my favorites and it will be marvelous to see Travis Touchdown in high definition.  The screen shots look really pretty too.  Check ‘em out:
