This was known for a while, but I'm not sure that everyone outside of the UK was aware. Rising Star Games, which we've covered before, is actually the UK branch of Marvelous Interactive, known for its Harvest Moon series, and a lot of smaller licensed games. Mainly Rising Star has been releasing Marvelous-developed versions of older Taito games. This all came to my attention when I learned that Hudson was using them to publish their games in the UK (thanks gamasutra). Anyway, this is one of the few situations I can think of in which a Japanese publisher chose to open a European branch rather than a U.S. one. Perhaps they will some day?

And speaking of Marvelous, the official No More Heroes site is up.
