I don't remember the last time a game announcement shocked me like this. I love No More Heroes, it has its gameplay flaws but it was just such a blast to play. So much fun and style. For me it ranks as one of the Wii's best (certainly its best original game). Still, it didn't sell tons so to see this trailer come out of this weekends TGS, I'm stunned, and so ___ing happy! No real info just yet, but the teaser is up: No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle Gametrailers.com - No More Heroes 2 - TGS 08: Debut Trailer
So is this the secret Grasshopper project that we've been hearing about? Or is that something yet still to come?
If you're talking about the story that: "Grasshopper Manufacture licensed Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3 for an upcoming action-horror game to be published by Electronic Arts for PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii. The as-yet unrevealed game is produced by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami and directed by Grasshopper head Goichi Suda, aka Suda51." Gamasutra - Grasshopper Licenses Unreal Engine 3 For EA Horror Title I kinda doubt it since I wouldn't call NMH a horror game in any respect. I'd assume the secret game is something else but there's no other new info out yet so I'm only guessing.
Sweeeeet I havnt gotten A Wii Game Sence this game Out (Besides Mario Kart) so this is a must buy might bust out the first one later.
Crap, and I still can't beat the first one. Keep getting shot up in Destroyman's level by those guys with guns. At this point I'm really considering starting over at the lower difficulty level. I really hate it when someone brings a gun to a swordfight.
It's an awesome game that makes good use of the Wii's motion sensing. It also has an interesting art style. The game also screams nostalgia on the 8-bit scene. The boss fights are intense and fun. All in all, the best 3rd party Wii game available.
FUCK YEAH! This has me excited. Like, incredibly excited. No More Heroes was my favorite Wii Game. If they add motion plus and fix up some of the tedious gameplay mechanics I will have children with this game.
i liked the first one, i just wish it was on other consoles! i reckon it'd still be decent minus waggle.
A couple bits of info trickling out today. Looks like the game is in fact for the Wii, and it should be hitting in 2010. That sounds like a while out (cause it is I guess) but remember NMH was just released earlier this year (Dec 07 in Japan, Jan 08-Mar 08 in the rest of the world). So early 2010 would be right around 2 years. Man it's gonna be a long wait! GoNintendo Blog Archive No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle confirmed for Wii, not due out until 2010- What are you waiting for? *Update* If you are living in Europe, you can look forward to a February/March 2010 release date, while North America is going to see a January release date. http://gonintendo.com/?p=58691
Fuck yeah! Gonna be quite a wait though...ah well, I guess I can use that time to finally beat Bitter difficulty.
Some things I want to see in the next game: 1. Enemies in the "sandbox" world. 2. More places to go in the "sandbox" world. 3. Better "sandbox" world. 3. Give Travis Force Lightning to go with his beam kitana. Yeah, just fix the sandbox and it's should kick some ass. They should also try and include some sort of online mode where you can create your own assassin. Online lightsabre battles to see who's the #1 ranked assassin. But then again, if everyone online had a beam kitana, it probably wouldn't work.
I'd rather the sandbox world die in a fire, but Suda has a fucked up sense of humour and enjoys making us suffer.
