Looking quite forward to this one. If you don't knwo who sir Henry Mother F***er is, you probably didi not see the real ending of the original No More Heroes. While the Kotaku tower hamsters fix the prbolem, here is the video. #nomoreheroes2
@mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta: It's a robot arm. A cybernetic arm. A cyborg arm. Some kind of mechanical arm. That was explained in some related text to the first game or something.
@howmuchbetter000: I know about all that, but Japanese games don't like to retcon unless it's through "official" means, which makes me believe they'll address it in-game at some point ofrother. #nomoreheroes2
@mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta: Well, it's NMH. They do't have to explain ANYTHING. Didn't you beat the first one? Shinobu saves your butt at the end and she has her arm reatached. They didn't explain it then, so it'd be a plus if they explained it now.
The new character art has her wearing a glove of sorts, in what could be a nod to Return of the Jedi. #nomoreheroes2
@mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta: Did they explain the magic motorcicle whit infinite gas? did they explain the fucking laser katana? Did they explain how most of the bosses weapon's work?
Dude, you are playing no more heroes, a game which makes absolutely no sense, if they can make laser katanas, they can do a bionic arm.
@howmuchbetter000: Did you see the true ending to No More Heroes. Did they make any attempt to explain what the hell Silvia and *Name Omitted* were doing looking at that portrait at the end? No, the game reveled in the fact that it made no fucking sense, and I love it for that fact. #nomoreheroes2
@Brian Crecente: "This video has reached its monthly embedded playback limit", so we won't find out until November? Or is it a problem at my end? #nomoreheroes2
And here I thought he was going to bring the game out for the current gen consoles... Sucks that I now know I will not only miss out on 2, but for the moment it seems all his games are going to be on the lame company's systems. HD, a real processor and power of a current gen console that he refuses to tap into. Imagine if he did all he could possibly get out of the 360... Or a NMH where you could challenge friends on live who play other assassins in a true Open world environment.
You're a talented fellow, I hope NMH2 is more successful then the first. I've only played 20 minutes of the first and although it had it's faults, it was funner then hell.
All you Wii owners support this man, because if you don't. Suda, baby...PS360 extends their meaty sweaty arms to you.
@ChandlerLachesis: This sucks. I was under the impression that you were going to attempt to make a viable post instead of idiotic troll spew. It's a shame, cause the hammer is getting harder to clean.
@DLZ: No it just means you suck for being an elitist graphics whore. For what the game is, the graphical style suits it well. Anything else and it just wouldn't be a Suda 51 game. NMH 99% of your entire video game library. #wii
Dear Suda -- thank you for not pulling a Namco on us Nintendo enthusiasts [fanboys]. It feels good for a third party developer to not be stabbing those who brought the most support in the back. Wii fanboys appriciate the pre-emptive support and willingness to follow through.
@Microshock: I used to be one of those. Until The only thing I had to defend after SSBB was Wii Music, Wii Fit and the prospect of a possible new Zelda down the line in 2011 or something (this was before this E3).
I just couldn't take it anymore. For me as an old Nintendo fanboy THIS exact moment is the worst time to be a Nintendo enthusiast. Worse than during the N64 and GC days. This right now, not in 2006, 2007 or the first half of 2008.
Especially when all the good third party games are released only on PS360 and those that do are year old ports (COD4) or stripped down lamer ports (COD3, COD WaW, Star Wars FU, FIFAs, Maddens, Tomb Raider, to name a few).
@M-Pyre: Well, Grasshopper has done quite a few games for Nintendo hardware. Killer7 was a GameCube exclusive until Capcom ordered a PS2 port. Then there was No More Heroes 1&2, a DS port of Flower, Sun, and Rain, the RPG Contact, and dev work on Fatal Frame IV. Suda and the others at Grasshopper are definitely not shy when it comes to making games for them.
And to be fair, No More Heroes actually ended up selling spectacularly compared to other Grasshopper titles. It didn't do so hot in Japan, but ended up wracking up several hundred-thousand sales overseas. Compared with Killer7, which tanked horribly despite being on two platforms, including the ultrapopular PS2, NMH was a blockbuster for them.
Is Namco the best company to mention here? For the longest time, when Nakamura and Yamauchi headed the respective firms, the companies did not work well together. In fact, Nakamura went as far as partnering with Sony during the early 90's and released almost all of their libraries on the PS1.
It wasn't until Yamauchi and Nakamura retired when the companies were at peace.
Ironically Nintendo owns about 5% of Namco now (through the Bandai merger). That means nothing of course since Sony owns 10% of SE and... well, you know the rest.
@Alex_Mexico: The blinders you wear are -huge-. If the only game you saw to 'defend' after SSBB was Wii Fit or Music, then you simply weren't looking hard enough.
And calling this the worst time to be a Nintendo enthusiast? When Nintendo released more of it's 1st party games in the first 3 years of the system's life then they did during the N64 and GC years? Sad.
As for third party, your memory must be amazingly short to have forgotten that third parties haven't overwhelmingly supported a Nintendo home system in years. It's why you buy a Nintendo system for Nintendo games, because third parties are a mixed bag and counting on them to save the day will at the end of it, leave you starving. Same lesson Sony's had to learn and why they are not in a massive build up of 1st and 2nd party studios.
@SG79: The bad blood between Namco and Nintendo is because Namco was a direct result of the 10NES saga and Tengen. Nakamura directly spit into the eye of Yamauchi and Yamauchi reacted to the insult by pretty much unleashing hell.

When I saw the screens before the first one came out it showed all the little figures in Travis' room. I assumed you would find or buy them.
Call me a dweeb or a poindexter if you will but that assumption made the giant No More Heroes magnet attached to my money grow threefold.
Game was still amazing, but I have never gotten over the disappointment...
Please Suda.... *wimper* collectibles.....

Rewarding talent with poor sales is just heartbreaking, and I wouldn't blame him for choosing not to release a game on a Nintendo platform.
I'm only talking about what's "fair" here though. I don't know if NMH would actually sell more on another system or not.
