No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle Message Board older than one year ago

No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle will be out in North America this week, but some people are lucky enough to have a press copy, or an early retail copy. Obviously, those lucky few are plowing through the game in order to flood the net with all sorts of news. One of those bits [...]

All things considered, you probably shouldn't watch the No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle dev diary we've posted above. It's pretty NSFW, it's chock-full of spoilers for the original Heroes (and even some for the sequel!), and it features more shots of Suda 51 sitting on the toilet than we're really comfortable with seeing. On the other hand, it also sets a new precedent for how enjoyable these developer diaries can be. Instead of a bunch of dudes sitting in a dimly lit room talking about how awesome their game is, it's just Suda, sitting in a bathroom stall, talking about how awesome his game is, and then his head explodes. We take back the entire first paragraph of this post. If you don't watch the video posted above, then we simply can't be friends anymore.

To say that No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle is an odd game is a gross understatement. The first game was certifiably insane (in a very good way), and the pair of new trailers for the game (one above, one past the break) on the Nintendo Channel keep that theme alive. They're both just downright odd, mixing together -- you know what? Just watch them. We're not even going to attempt to define what's here. Head past the break for the full list of this week's Nintendo Channel content.

The official North American website for No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle has opened up, and it’s just as crazy as you’d expect it to be. The site features all the trailers that were posted over the past couple of weeks, as well as some brand-new screens. I can’t wait to get my hands [...]

- no flashbacks to No More Heroes to explain what happened in the prior game - first battle takes place on a rooftop - Jeane now ways 25 pounds - you have to do a lot of work if you want to help Jeane lose weight - purchase new clothes or find clothing during missions - There are five members [...]

Travis Touchdown returns in this January 2010 release.

When Suda51 said there were big changes in store for the open-world segments of No More Heroes, we didn't expect a change this big. According to GameSpot's preview, roaming around Santa Destroy in search of t-shirts and Lovikov Balls (and odd jobs) has been nixed in Desperate Struggle in favor of a world map. It should speed up the pace of the game significantly, and we know there were plenty of complaints about these segments of the game, but we'll personally miss tooling around the city on the Schpeltiger. You can read way more details about the game at GameSpot, though we wouldn't necessarily suggest it if you're trying to live a spoiler-free lifestyle.

We linked to these screens last night, but I just wanted to make sure everyone saw this screen of the map. This is how you’ll be doing travel now, as it appears that there’s no overworld hub anymore. This should certainly streamline the experience. Did anyone really enjoy driving around Santa Destroy? Check [...]

- takes place just about 3 years after tho original - some people believe Travis to be an urban legend Spoilers, and much more details after the jump. - Travis ends up fighting a younger brother of a fallen enemy, and ends up killing him - Travis starts off with not much interest in joining the assassin ranks again - [...]

Three brief new trailers for No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle have appeared online, each highlighting a different aspect of the game. The first trailer (after the break), from GoNintendo, shows off the cute retro-themed job minigames that Grasshopper has added for Travis's second outing. There's some kind of motorcycle racing game, a training game in which you kick weights back at your trainer, and ... oh, no. A plumbing game that's like the bane of our existence, Pipe Dream. Great. The second trailer, from IGN, features quick clips of fighting from all three playable characters (plus Jeane the cat! Plus NSFW language). The third, from 1UP, features Shinobu being really creepy.

This No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle trailer introduces Henry, who appears in the first game in a series of very exciting, eminently spoilable sequences. It appears to do for the former villain what Metal Gear Solid 4 did for Raiden -- make the fans love a once-despised character. Coincidentally (according to the tenuous comparison I've set up for the two), both characters are voiced by Quinton Flynn. He's just got a talent for characters that you'll probably like better the second time!The end of the trailer features Henry fighting a young girl with some kind of giant robot arms. Thanks for existing, game.

Travis Touchdown is joined by a new sword-wielding maniac. See him in action for the first time.

Next year you will be able to exact your revenge as well!

When we came into Marvelous Entertainment's hotel room, we witnessed another outlet recording a video interview with Suda 51, producer of No More Heroes and its sequel. Marvelous brought this, well, marvelous beam katana prop, which lights up and makes appropriately lightsabery noises, and someone pretended to attack him in the conclusion of the video interview. Suda gamely displayed mock fright at the beam katana attack for multiple takes while someone waved the device around in front of him.All we did was ask him some questions about No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle and Grasshopper's other work.

Travis goes 8-bit to rake in the dough!
