No More Heroes 2 Thread

[MadeManG74]

I remember reading somewhere this game was planned to have over 50 boss fights, which is just huge. I guess most of them won’t be as big as the previous game though.

Very much looking forward to this though, I loved the first game.

This part of the interview is very interesting

On No More Heroes as a franchise: "I think this is the last NMH that is going to be developed on Wii. To expand NMH to new possibilities, we need a new platform. Wii is a great platform, but we’ve done everything we can with it now.

I wonder if he already has plans for a PS360 game or something?

[Infernoman]

hearing that last line now makes us think will NMH at the least be a trilogy? possible now…

[Biolink]

I agree with them to move the series to another System(possibly).

This shit would be hype online.

That’s not to say that I haven’t played the Wii version so many times that the fucking disc has worn out!</Travis>

Yeah, Suda51 said that in the recent EDGE article. That’s pretty much my only concern about the game so far - the main thing that made the first game so amazing was that all the bosses had their own awesome personality and special abilities, so I have a hard time picturing the bosses of this game being anywhere near as memorable. Suda51 is frickin’ amazing though, so who knows. :bgrin:

Too fuckin dope for words. Hey can some resize this into a premium av for me? I cant get photoshop…

Considering what Suda’s been doing with the NMH on the Wii the only system I can see this translating well over too is PS3’s wand. I still say Natal has to prove itself and get the bugs out it first. And I honestly can’t see anyone actually standing up all day and doing motions with Natal to do different attacks and what not on NMH. How is the camera going to tell the difference between you telling Travis to turn around vs. you attacking any enemies? This is only if he’s still planning to use motion controls…honestly NMH would translate pretty well to a normal controller since some of the attacks were just gesture based. It’ll be interesting to see what Suda can come up with.

I’m guessing that there will be a moment or moments where Travis tears through like a dozen or two dozen in one boss stage or a number of them get killed off screen. Either way, I don’t see it being a 50 one on one fights.

As for the report on NMH2 being the last on Wii. Eh.

I love Suda but he has to see how insane developing a game on the Natal would be outside of the same mini game collections that plague the Wii. Personally, I think he got some money thrown his way by Microsoft or simply wants the more “core” userbase on the 360 or PS3. Because seriously the Natal while interesting is impossible to translate into a decent stylish action game.

New info after a long time

1. What makes Travis’ Schpeletiger new is that it is now twice as long (in addition to the better controls).

2. This has already been verified, but there have been doubts and concerns as to how Grasshopper is going to have 50 unique bosses, from their appearance to actual fighting capabilities. Suda explains to EDGE that basically there is nothing to worry about as they incorporated both the original NMH development team and the NMH2 team (many members being of both teams including the character creator) to brainstorm and according to Suda they had no problems shooting out several ideas and characters from that.

3. The name of the “schoolgirl assassin” we all know about is Kimmy. How appropriate. Suda also mentions that Kimmy wants to keep Travis “all to her self.” Possible Misery references?

4. At the end of every boss fight, a 2D image of Travis will walk from one end of the screen to the other to hop onto the Schpeletiger and drive off, accompanied by some new piece of midi music.

5. The idea of Travis using other weapons, even projectiles, was considered by Suda, but ultimately canned as Suda says that the sword/beam katana is what Travis should always use. Suda calls Travis the “modern samurai.”

6. It was implied that Bishop actually does not die or get killed off, as the article explains that Bishop will have a bigger role to play in the game. At the same time, Suda says that “Travis is fighting for himself” not for anyone else. Travis is fighting for revenge, but perhaps for someone else other than Bishop?

7. Speaking more specifically on the city, Suda explains that Travis had actually left Santa Destroy for those three years, and it wasn’t until he came back that he had seen how much it had changed. Where Travis had gone is not said. Only a portion of the original city will be traveled, based on fan responses on the first game. The streets and sidewalks will be much more busier and cars will “get out of the way” of Travis’ bike. There are construction signs and lights everywhere. One of the fighting grounds will be a “new school”, “construction yard”, and a graveyard. Not sure if the school is new in the sense that it is an additional one to the Santa Destroy High School or if it is just a remodeled SDHS.

8. There are still side jobs such as coconut collecting and a new one involving plumbing. Suda explains that he still wants the player to feel like he has to work hard to play the game as that is what it means to be a punk. Otherwise, he says, there is a disconnect between the videogame world and reality. Still, the side jobs are still improved and provide humor as well as entertainment.

9. It is confirmed that Destroyman comes back as a cyborg as wanting revenge against, who else, Travis.

10. Finally, the bosses themselves: it will not be as difficult, time consuming, and at times boring to collect enough money to advance to the next boss fight. In fact, Suda purposely wanted to mix things up to keep it from getting repetitive by having Shinobu and Henry as playable characters and, at times, fighting more than one boss fight, sometimes one right after the other, and sometimes simultaneously.

Destroyman confirmation by voice actor verified

I really like the last part. A bunch of different fight scenarios instead of just the 1 on 1 from the first games

I hope the bosses are still as unique and varied as the last game, but if I’m confident anyone can deliver on that front it’s the No More Heroes team.

Suda has ridiculous swagger.

And that assassin looks awesome.

He looks like a shot at Final Fantasy characters

nice…kinda disappointed that he wasn’t able to get his wii motion plus idea to work but that’s fine the game will still be awesome regardless. The game being able to use the classic controller through it’s play seems be in league with the sequal possibly showing up on a different console in the future I believe.

[Ianskie]

I was so excited when I heard that my favorite game for the wii would be receiving a sequel last year. The more I hear fresh news, the more pumped I get! The Schoolgirl with the Flute/Darth Maul beam katana is awesome! I am also looking forward to playing as Henry and Shinobu

So I take it both of them lived after the freeze frame “Real” ending of the first game?
and why the hell does Sylvia have a child named Jean?

god damnit I want this game to come out already!
