Being the number-one assassin in the world isn’t what it used to be.

Warm up those beam katanas, tighten the all-new Death Glove, and get ready to partake in outrageous boss battles against the evil Prince FU and his nine alien henchmen as Travis fights his way to the top of the Galactic Superhero Rankings! No More Heroes III will arrive on new platforms with improved HD visuals and framerates, along with faster loading times to keep players dishing out eye-popping ultraviolence.

This cover is 100% Akira.

Yes, that was the intent from the initial teaser and in the game, you can break like Akira. A lot of games pay tribute to it. However from what I can find Akira wasn't the first with the red future motorcycle. The first instance I can find is Megazone 23 which funny enough Matrix sorta ripped off.

Didn't watch/read Megazone 23 (didn't even heard of it before), was just saying the cover is just like a cover from Akira I remembered.

Hey, Akira predates Megazone 23 (I think). The first OVA of Megazone 23 was broadcast in 1985, while the first volume of Akira was published in 1982. The film came after Megazone 23, but the manga did not.
