The NZA Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 The first game is still about my favorite Wii title, so given that this one's got even crazier looking bosses, as well as dual lightsaber-katanas, I so cant wait to hear more on this. Here's hoping for E3!
Maldron Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 I feel ignored... I feel ignored... I feel ignored... Now with added Ho missiles.
The NZA Posted May 30, 2009 Author Posted May 30, 2009 just saw what you did prior ho missiles are a welcome addition. you know what else is a welcome addition? MotionPlus.
The NZA Posted August 30, 2009 Author Posted August 30, 2009 OH SNAP 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.
The NZA Posted September 4, 2009 Author Posted September 4, 2009 The NZA remains unaffected by the lack of replies here. His hype for this title is strong enough to count for several hondonians. More No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle Info
Maldron Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 What? I'm excited. I'm even considering playing that atrocity Wet just because it's trying so hard to be No More Heroes.
bishopcruz Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I hope to god they got rid of the shit that was all of Santa Destroy between missions. Please god. Also, wonder if we'll see the one armed chick again.
Maldron Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 They didn't get rid of them, but they did change them. All the between missions are now 2D side-scroller mini-games. And I haven't heard anything about Holly Summers, but I did hear Destroyman was back.
The NZA Posted September 4, 2009 Author Posted September 4, 2009 man, kids dont appreciate Suda's zany design decisions. and yeah, bish watch the latest video i put up - youll see your answer. mebbe you'll like them better when theyre roughly 8-bit? you're always on about 2D things being more concise... Mal: Wet plays similarly? i might have to check out the demo.

Mal: Wet plays similarly? i might have to check out the demo. It doesn't play similarly, but it's got the same "over the top yet under the bar of sophistication" thing going on. I was bored as fuck in the demo, but each their own.
Jables Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 O/T but, As ridiculously try-hard as Wet looks, I slightly dug the only-effective-in-air combat, moreso because I've done my level best to avoid bullet-time games over the 8 years since the Matrix made it so goddamned popular.

The NZA Posted September 6, 2009 Author Posted September 6, 2009 so, yeah, O/T but you guys missed both Max Payne and Stranglehold to...buck a trend? well done.
Maldron Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 so, yeah, O/T but you guys missed both Max Payne and Stranglehold to...buck a trend? well done. You're really gonna lump those two games together? Your love for Woo blinds you.
The NZA Posted September 7, 2009 Author Posted September 7, 2009 Theyre like a decade apart, and you know? Stranglehold was a rather fun rental. just...just dont buy the DLC.
Jables Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 I may get around to playing Max Payne one day, but truthfully when it was pitched to me at the time as a clumsy noir with bullet-time. OMG you wait til you see Max Payne Bullet time the shit out of this motherfucker. BULLET TIME!!!!!!!!, it didn't seem worth the attention.
The NZA Posted September 7, 2009 Author Posted September 7, 2009 well yeah, it was kinda that. but that + noir + comic panels for storytelling, it all seemed pretty fresh at the time. gameplay wise, on anything shy of a PS2, i still find it fun. i do intend to finish part 1 (likely on xbox) and mebbe 2 as well before 3 drops. a gimmick's a gimmick but it was fun around it as well.
Iambaytor Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 So I've noticed that Gamestops are carrying the first No More Heroes used (with book even!) for around $20. Once I'm done being poor white trash (after having retreated to my usual spot of "middle-class white trash" I do believe I'll try this out.
IceManML Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 I feel like the world hath lied... to thine... me... o_O Y DA HELL have I never heard of this game man... n theres a part 2 already.. holy sheeeeit!!! not fair man... a boss w boombox arms tossin bitches at u thats awesome! :')

MetalHeart Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 CARLO is playing this as I type. He's down to rank 5 now or somesuch. This game is fun to watch as it is to play! Lurve it.
