People frequently ask me the question "What's you're favorite line from the game No More Heroes 2?" I usually respond with "Poopie... Now I have the sad face." Then they say, "Don't get all cute with me guy, just tell me the line", so I say "POOPIE... NOW I HAVE THE SAD FACE!". Then we fist-fight.
That's the kind of random violence that No More Heroes inspires. Take these videos for example; the first features Travis repeatedly running a beam katana through a guy named Skelter Helter; a man who's first name is the same as his dead brother's last name. The next shows Travis's student (and maybe-girlfriend) Shinobu chopping up people with a katana, then wiping her sword... HARD. The last video shows a bunch of stuff, including a fat cat in action, a new in-game cute 'em up called Bizarre Jelly 5, and a sexy man in a purple jumpsuit blowing 8-bit kisses to Travis. Random. Violent.
If you want even more No More Heroes 2 fun, check the gallery for a gaggle of new pics, including a few that you wont see anywhere else (at least until someone "borrows" them from us). After you're done with that, come back for hands-on impressions of the game and an interview with No More Heroes creator Suda51. Both should hit later today, so stay tuned.

"So... any word on the No More Heroes I'm actually interested in (you know, the HD one) getting a US publisher?"
You mean the one that you could have been playing for the past two year? Yeah there's still no word on the "HD version" coming here yet, so just keep on waiting for it. You might actually get to play it on a 360/PS3 before next year is over for $60. As apposed to getting it on the Wii for less than $20 now, but I guess those HD visuals are worth a extra $40 right? LOL!
I love all these people with their stupid snarky comments about NMH on the Wii, as if them not buying these games on the Wii is some sort of small shallow victory for them. Play it on the Wii, or don't. No one really cares, because its just your loss. So keep waiting for when, or should I say "if" it ever actually comes out on the 360/PS3 in North America/Europe.
Well spoken, PEICanada. Well spoken, indeed. I really can't people who call themselves non-fanboys, and yet bash everything on the Wii without ever giving it a shot. It's just sad...
Fucking retarded of Marvelous to announce the HD Japan-only port before the release of this sequel. Now gamers have to deal with every single fucking NMH2 thread being ruined by fucking fanboys begging for their ports. If this was neogaf, you'd be banned by now.
When I read the words 'fat cat', I was expecting a fat rich man in a suit not... a literal fat cat. Now I'm hoping for some mini games where you help Jeanne lose weight!

The track is actually from the No More Heroes Sound Tracks: Dark Side. It's a remix soundtrack that I HIGHLY recommend.
@PEICanada7: Yeah, sorry, but I don't blame people for wanting to buy a Wii for only a couple games. I've owned a Wii since launch and only own about 5 games (including the bundled in WiiSports) that aren't ports of PS2 games (Bully, Okami, RE4)... so far I don't feel my purchase was entirely worth it. Sure, Mario Galaxy was a terrific game and NMH is pretty good but other that there isn't much else I'm interested in.
Also, big fucking deal that anyone has to wait for the NMH port. If I hadn't already played it on the Wii and was looking forward to the port, I wouldn't care if it took another two years to hit stateside as I have MORE than enough games to play between my PS3, PC and handhelds.
You imply that others are elitist or fanboys simply for looking forward to a port of a game to a system that they already own while coming off like a complete pretentious fanboy douche yourself. GG.
That's all well and good, but you're missing one critical detail. Some people (Like myself) don't have a Wii to play the original on. Do you really have to be so volatile to people simply because they were looking forward to a 'superior' (Notice the quotes, as I have no idea if it's ACTUALLY going to be better) version of a kick-ass game? I don't know why people always seem to want to attack any little thing a person says or does on the internet...
Anyways, definitely hoping I get a chance to play this game somehow. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll be able to borrow my friend's Wii again.
To be fair he was just responding to Spaceman's comment commenting on a blog about No More Heroes 2 just to say that he didn't care about it. You can't blame PEIcanada for getting a little miffed at spam.
Okay...admittedly, I didn't know the guy was spamming his dissent for the game all over the place. I guess a volatile reaction is expected for things like that. All apologies and such.
I lol'd at how the boss guy from the first video is a Cloud parody. Or maybe I'm just imagining things but from the high res pics it really looks like he was based off of him.
This game keeps looking better and better. I like the fact that Travis is going to be so much more customizable. It looks like they're improving on everything from the first one, so hopefully that translates over to a much improved open world too.

Also, I really need to get Dark Side.
