Konami officially announced N3II: Ninety-Nine Nights (that’s the official name) for North America. Like Japan, we’re getting the sequel to Ninety-Nine Nights this spring.

As a pre-order bonus, Marvelous is packaging art books called “erotica portraits” with No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise.

The HD port of No More Heroes won’t be available in stores next month. Marvelous just pushed No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise back to April.

No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise doesn’t utilize motion control so mini-games like lifting weights and wrestling moves have to be mapped with good old buttons.

According to a job listing posted by AQ Interactive, Feelplus is currently working on a “large scale” RPG for Microsoft.

Konami still hasn’t said anything about bringing Ninety-Nine Nights II overseas, but it’s pretty much confirmed for North America. The ESRB rated it “M” and shed some light on the hack and slash sequel.

Konami, who is now publishing Ninety-Nine Nights II, set a timeline for the game. It’s scheduled for spring 2010 in Japan.

In this interview, Makoto Chida, Project Manager, explained where the “haunted house simulator” concept came from and how Takashi Shimizu contributed to the game’s development.

You’ve seen No More Heroes before. Now see it with Japanese voice acting and upscaled graphics from Feelplus.

Feelplus, the studio behind Ju-On: The Grudge, had plenty of options with the Ju-On license.

Grasshopper Manufacture isn’t directly working on No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise. Marvelous handed the high definition porting job to Feelplus.

When Microsoft announced Konami as the new publisher for Ninety-Nine Nights II no plans were announced for North America. However, it appears Konami will publish it here and two other Xbox 360 titles.

This haunted house simulator for the Wii may not be deep, lengthy, thought provoking or especially challenging, but it does what it promises.

Ninety-Nine Nights was missing a key element that made the Dynasty Warriors games fun — co-op play. Feelplus addressed this while developing Ninety-Nine Nights II.
