No More Heroes was by far my favourite Wii, despite its flaws (what can I say, I'm one of those weird people who buy Nintendo consoles and don't play Mario or Zelda). NMH was a deliriously fun and original ride from start to finish, in a tongue-skewering-cheek kind of way that didn't appeal to everyone, but that I personally loved.

Please, Ninty, release the damn black Wii already... I don't care if it's a limited edition, if it costs 50 euros more, I just want my black Wii before NMH2 comes out...

No More Heroes belongs on the Wii. It's the motion controls that really makes the combat a lot of fun. Besides, Grasshopper Manufacture is more concerned with art style than it is about pushing graphics.

I can't wait to see the other new assassins Travis is going to have to face.

@Killer7: the juxtaposition between "Suda 51" and the picture of the mexican wrestler was one of the high spots of the trailer. The wrestling is so non-sequitir but hilarious and works with the wii well.

IT'S A MUTHERFUCKING WAR!!!!!

Wow it's crazy I mean the game didn't do that well, but def has a strong cult following?! I don't care as long as we get to play this shit, I'm good. First day purchase (just like the first one).

That was a good teaser/trailer. Dude throwing ho's, chicks talking about getting preggers (I think that's what she said), full course meals?!?!!?

TRAVIS TOUCHDOWN is the mother f'ing man. First new IP character in awhile that I'm totally geek for.

let the developers stay with the Wii. They'll realize pretty soon that the real money is on the 360 and ps3. Unless they were making "No More Pancakes: Flip pancakes with your Wiimote for HOURS!", then they should stick with the Wii.

@PunkyChipsAhoy: If NMH did so badly, why is there a sequel? Why would Suda 51 beat his head on the same wall 3 times (inc Killer 7) if it had no merit?

Avrum is right. There is so much dumbassery this generation. And so many knuckle-dragging fratboy-types being tech-whores.

@PunkyChipsAhoy: Amen brother. Wii is killing the industry and destroying great franchises like No More Heroes. Real gamers want real controls, realistic graphics, and adult themes (like blood and nudity and crap) that's why we have mature adult systems.

Wii is a great system for... hrm... who am I kidding. Just get a PS3, and please Soda 51, make games for PS3 instead of this weaker version of a PS2.

Why are all of these trailers releasing before E3 anyway? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be seeing trailers to stuff like this and TMNT Smash Up now, but isn't trailer-premiering what E3's about?

They don't want to be lost in the flood of news that's bound to come from Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony...releasing it right before E3 like this means they can atleast get there hour to shine in the spotlight...come next week? This site will be updated every 10 seconds with new footage and hands on impressions that all the little titles will be lost forever...

@LegendofMyth:

You mean Microsoft, and Sony? I'm not so sure if Nintendo has anything significant from the first party to showcase apart from WM+ and Wii sports resort. In fact, I find it more likely that they'll mention games from HVS, Grasshopper, Xseed, etc in their conference, just to prove to the so-called hardcore gamer that the Wii has not "abandoned" them.

@paulrenzo: that's why they call them announcements. Ideally, you don't know about them until they announce them. If you knew everything Nintendo was gonna talk about at e3, just think how much airfare they could save...

I mean, all MS is gonna announce is Bayonetta right? And all Sony is gonna announce is FF13, right?

Pfft, nice try Nintendo. Real gamers have already moved on to systems with awesome graphics and have sold their little Wii's. Time to let go of the exclusive rights so this game can appear on the PS3, in full HD 1080p.

@Hardcore_Gamer: OR, real gamers don't SELL their consoles, and just buy other consoles to avoid senseless little fan comments like those above?

I mean, why complain about what's on other consoles when you work hard and have all 3? Worked for me last generation, it'll work in this one, too.

Besides, why on EARTH would anyone want to slash in this game on a regular controller? The finishing blow experience in NMH 1 MADE the game for me!

I am tired of seeing this here. People, please, when you see an obvious troll comment with replies already, do not feel you need to post in it.

This happens in half the articles on Kotaku and we wind up with the stupid comment with 40+ replies, and then the rest of the comment pool, with actual discussion material, is left barren and untouched.

If the comment is dumb or a troll, and there are already replies, do not post.

@DeathsVice: Considering that the original felt increadibly low budget and the graphics were really rough even by the wii's standards, imagine how it would feel on the 360. Sure they could render it in higher resolution, but they probably wouldn't afford to add any more detail. People would ignore it because of the graphics

@beril: The motion control kill animations and wrestling moves MADE the combat fun. I usually don't care for hack n slash games.

Also, the graphics weren't rough...they were stylized. There's a difference. I wonder if you thought LoZ: the Wind Waker had bad graphics?

@-[[CHoZO]]-: Stylized graphics are the kind you find in Jet Set Radio, Okami or your example Wind Waker. The ones in NMH are bad. I own the game, and i really want to love it, but the graphics keeps stopping me from it.

There´s no excuse why those graphics are that bad, specially when MArio Galaxy showed that the Wii can render great graphics.

...but No More Heroes is still incredibly awesome. But they're completely different games. What do they even have to do with one another, aside from being action games where you beat up and kill peoples?

They're different games! We love both! One is better than the other. Does it mean we stop playing the other game? NO! We play both, enjoy both, and love both.

So shut up and be excited about this.
