News: Suda 51's action title for the Wii has finally found an American publisher.

IGN has confirmed with Suda 51 and his team at Grasshopper Manufacture that Ubisoft will be bringing the developer's Wii game No More Heroes to America this February. Suda 51 and Grasshopper Manufacture are probably best known for the freaky PS2/GameCube adventure Killer 7.

"With No More Heroes, we wanted to create a game that allows players to be able to jump right in and play," said Suda 51, president of Grasshopper Manufacture. "The Wii allows us to create an open world where movement and gameplay feel very natural."
"Ubisoft is excited to be bringing Suda 51's latest adventure to gamers in North America," said Jay Cohen, vice president of publishing at Ubisoft. "Suda 51 is one of the most creative minds in gaming and No More Heroes is shaping up to be a visually stunning and immersive game with an extremely engaging storyline players will no doubt be drawn to."

Ubisoft also assured IGN that all of the content in No More Heroes would come to America unaltered from its original Japanese release. Suda 51 has even gone so far as to claim the title will feature levels of violence on par with Manhunt 2.

We'll have more on No More Heroes soon.
