No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle is just a little more than a month away from launch, and it seems that Ubisoft is going to do their best to keep the game on our minds. They just launched an official website for the game, and it's a pretty fun place to be. It's got a style that reminds me of playing a broken NES game, except with a lot more swearing.
As for new info, there isn't much there yet. So far, the "characters" section of the site only features Travis, Sylvia, Shinobu, and Henry, but there seem to be quite a few blank spots in between. There are a few new screenshots though, one of which features the first appearance of Vlad, a ghostly astronaut (or is it cosmonaut?) who may or may not be one of the games proposed 51 bosses. Vlad gets some artwork too, as does the baby-faced muscle man thing that Travis fights for a few seconds in a previous trailer.
As for other stuff, the site also has a bunch of semi-old trailers, a community message board, and a brief "about" section that lets us know the game has "Giant robots! Coconuts! Chicks with short skirts and bad attitudes! F*ck yeah."
Only 34 days to go until I own this game. Where's Jeff Goldblum with my Wait Mate when I need him?
Check out the new screenshots, art and character descriptions in our gallery section.

"i dont have a wii but this game looks sweet, ill be waiting for a port of this too :P"
Suda 51 flat out said that he has nothing to do with the port of the first game to the 360/PS3 and has no clue if it will ever be released out side of Japan. So both the producer of the game, and the eastern publisher (Ubisoft) have said that they have no involvement with the port what-so-ever. I think its safe to say that the HD version is not going to be coming to North America/Europe, so its either play it on the Wii, import it, or don't play it all. Take your pick!
It's a shame that all the angst-filled self-proclaimed "hardcore" gamers that this masterpiece is targeted for have already sold their Wii after they got bored with SSBB, claiming it was "collecting dust".
For the level-headed rest of us, we're going to have fun with another episode of the Travis Touchdown Show.
