The votes have been cast and the results are in. Rising Star Games
is proud to announce that No More Heroes has received
consistent recognition in
the annual game of the year round-ups. Winning several awards for
game design, story and visuals in the Nintendo Wii category of
several awards, No More Heroes also made the top ten in many
publications’ “Games of 2008” and was nominated for many more,
including Nintendo Game of the Year at the Golden Joysticks. No
More Heroes also benefited from being the top pick in two
Electronic Theatre feature series this year -
Unsung Heroes and
The Twelve Games of Christmas - a feat which no other game
can claim.
“This has been a standout year for No More Heroes and Rising Star
Games,” said Martin Defries, Rising Star Games managing director.
“We’ve had fantastic critical reception for NMH from the
start; to be nominated in so many categories and place in the top
ten in many polls proves how well a third party title can do on the
Wii if you get it right. We’re all really excited to see the next
step up in NMH2!”
Tempering this good news slightly, Mr. Defries goes on to address an
outstanding issue for another Rising Star Games release:
"Unfortunately Rising Star Games has had to temporarily remove
Harvest Fishing DS from our new title release schedule. The
Japanese development studio has struggled to fix the required
Nintendo Wi-Fi features with the latest code submission and needs
further time to resolve these issues. We are optimistic that the
next submission of the game will be successful and that the game
will be released in the next few months. However, to avoid further
disappointment it is best not to announce, yet another, suggested
release date; instead we will wait for successful approval of game
code and then fix a secure release date.
“We appreciate your patience with the extraordinary delays to this
title." |
