History Trivia / NoMoreHeroes

* NewbieBoom: The ports of the first two games to the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, as well as the announcement of a third title in the series, increased interest in the games, to the point where the first two games were in the Top 5 on the Nintendo [=eShop=].

** Apparently, the sequel was going to end in a showdown between Travis and a disillusioned Shinobu, just like the first game ended in a duel between Travis and Henry. Though no longer in the game, you can see that Shinobu does seem unhappy with Travis when he rejects her after the Destroyman fight, though nothing comes of it.

* NoExportForYou: The ''UsefulNotes/Xbox360'' version of [[UpdatedRerelease HD port]] ''Heroes Paradise'' was only released in Japan and is region locked. The ''UsefulNotes/PlayStation3'' version was released in North America although.

** Matt of WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay, who worked on the game as a tester, confirmed during his own LP of the game that Grasshopper once put in the ability to send pedestrians flying and then explode into a fountain of blood for the North American version. Matt, concerned that this would cause the ESRB to up the age rating to a possible AO (due to violence against pedestrians in any non-''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' game being more heavily scrutinized by the ESRB, and AO games are not permitted to be sold on any consoles), asked Grasshopper to remove this detail, to which they did comply.

** The game (originally just titled ''Heroes'') was going to be developed for UsefulNotes/Xbox360, until Yasuhiro Wada, of Marvelous Entertainment, convinced Creator/Suda51 of making it for UsefulNotes/NintendoWii. The [[FreudWasRight similar shapes]] of the Wii Remote and Beam Katana also helped convince him.

** Also, early reports from Magazine/ElectronicGamingMonthly stated that Travis would need to investigate the identities of the UAA's assassins by himself (through missions) before challenging them to a fight, instead of just paying a fee, which would explain the empty sandbox that is Santa Destroy. This idea was somewhat reused in ''VideoGame/TravisStrikesAgainNoMoreHeroes'' for Travis and Bad Man doing investigations to find the Death Balls.

* FanNickname: Mister Sir Henry [[SophisticatedAsHell Motherfucker]].

* GodNeverSaidThat: The FanNickname Ermen Palmer above is frequently reported as official as evidence for him being Garcian or [[spoiler:Emir]] from ''killer7'', but in reality that character has never been named.

* NoExportForYou: Averted with the [[UpdatedRerelease HD port]] ''Heroes Paradise''. Ubisoft, the publisher of the original for the Wii, decided not to pick up the HD port for release in North America. Thankfully, Konami has stepped in and will be publishing ''Heroes Paradise'' as a [=PS3=] exclusive in the west with UsefulNotes/PlayStation Move support (of course this does mean Xbox 360 owners had this trope played very straight, made worse by the fact the game is region locked on the Xbox 360).

** There would also be common Mooks around the city outside of ranking fights and side-missions. The fridge in Travis' apartment, which uselessly refills your HP is an artifact of that.
