PlayStation Move Heroes Shakes Up Stores This March

By Spencer . January 5, 2011 . 12:13pm

PlayStation Move Heroes brings together three of Sony Computer Entertainment’s fuzzy franchises into one motion controlled action game.

The game, developed by ex-Starcraft: Ghostdevelopers Nihilistic Software, turns the PlayStation Move controller into different kinds of weapons. You can use it as a point-and-shoot gun, whip, bowling ball style weapon or Sly’s cane through fifty levels.

First announced at E3 under the name Heroes on the Move, PlayStation Move Heroes showed up in Famitsu with a release date. The game comes out in Japan sometime this March under the name Gachinko Heroes. Usually, Sony Computer Entertainment releases games close together so, perhaps, we’ll see this PlayStation Move title in March too.

Characters confirmed for the game include: Ratchet and Clank from Ratchet & Clank, Sly and Bentley from Sly Cooper, and Jak and Daxter from Jak & Daxter.

I wish they hadn't changed the name.

They should have called it Jak and Daxter 4 and tricked people into buying it. I'm curious as to how well this will sell, it should be a good indication of moves active base. 

Speaking of move games- supposedly Ape Escape (the rail shooter) released in Japan a couple of weeks ago. Can anyone confirm or deny?

yes it did and there is a demo available on jp psn

Well what the fuck happened to it? I didn't see it on the charts anywhere. And it doesn't show up in the sales database. 

Ape escape on rails shooter??? sounds like champion stuff. It probably sucked. Good crap Sony just make a real freaking Ape escape game, its time!!! Dont turn into one of these 3rd parties that make spin off crap for their motion control games. While your at it, why the hell is there no Hot Shots Golf Move??? that should have been a launch title. Hell just realease the PS3 already with a patch, call it greatest hits and Move on to the next thing

no it never sucked, i played on the demo and actually it was really fun and it's not just a rail shooter

lack of advertising == lack of sales it's a sad thing to see ape escape fury fury is pretty good, i just played on the jp demo

I asked the source about it- he says that pretty much every game that isn't sports champions or beat sketch has been having a rough time of it in japan.
