I was at Gamestop, looking for a certain game, listen to the trailor for this on accident. It sounded so stupid, and quirky. I figured it was just some shitty xbox360 game that a bunch of middle schools will buy. When I turned around, I saw with my own eyes something I never thought I'd see again. The art style, the style of the game itself, a mix of American culture with a hint of anime.
"It looks like No More Heroes." When I said this outloud to myself, the man acorss the counter smiled.
"You know why?"
"Same company, I assume."
"Same guy." he said.
My eyes shot open. I looked up, watched the rest of it. I actually begun to understand the uniqueness when I looked passed the "lol zombies" part of it. I mean, really. A cheerleader killing zombie rockstars with a chainsaw. That's... fucked up. No prep or cheerleader would buy it. No goth kids or nerds are gonna buy it, due tot he preppy skin this game is wearing. It's literally marketed to nobody. I looked on the dispaly case. "Order now and gets skins for your character such as Jimmy Urine". This sounded so familiar... When I got home, I looked up Jimmy Urine. It's the lead singer from MSI! All over youtube, interviews with Jimmy on subject of the game. So I figured "might as well look up the ost..."
A few of these songs make me assume this game takes place in the 70s or 80s. But those are just a few of them. It also has a song by Skrillex, MSTRKRFT, and others like Dragon Force and Arch Enemy. It happens to be my favorite Arch Enemy song.
Over all, with a wide variety of weird and badass music, zombies and cheerleaders, two things that should never mix, and the art style and most likely the gameplay of No More Heroes, I'm stoked for this game. I've preordered and fully paid for it. No I just have to wait. Once I beat it, I'll be doing a fullscale review on Zelaron.
Japan does have a powerful will. Though luckily it's created things like pokemon. Sadly, then there are things like this.... It makes me wonder how desperate they are for new ideas over there.

Really? They've taken a crappy game and dressed it up with tits. They aren't trying to make a good game, they're trying to make a shitload of money on the fact that basement dwelling gamer nerds are going to buy the game for the tits, and they're throwing zombies in for extra effect.
Did any of you play this game? It was basically the same sort of marketing ploy, though a little less blatant about it. It was also a terrible game. If you really expect that this game will be anything but terrible you're the very sort they are looking to cash in on.
