You are not ready for No More Heroes 2. I don't care who you are. I don't care what you've seen before, or what you think you know; this game will pull the rug out from under you and then spank your ass with it.
Hard.
It looks like you play as a tiger in No More Heroes 2; a tiger who hangs out in beautiful office buildings and eats businessmen. It also looks like smelling your own armpits may hold some significance to the gameplay.
That's just the start of it.
I know not everybody liked the original No More Heroes, and I know a lot of people don't care about this sequel, but...
Seriously, just watch these new videos. All seven await you after the jump.
Light swords and tigers and blood, oh my. You know what? Forget box art. Just slap a big ol' "Warning: this box contains a goddamned tiger" sticker on the thing.
I loved the first one. Can't wait for the sequel. Thought the game was funny as hell, and I loved the empty open world. Reminded me of Dreamcast games of old.
@ callmeAlex- Yeah, that line is incredible. So happy.
@ TheDaftPunk- Yeah, I loved the open world too. It took a while to grow on me, but after a while, hunting around for Lovikov balls and dumpsters became really fun. The rest of the game is so action packed. It makes having a laid-back overworld a nice change of pace.
@ VGFreak- Well, I don't know if you missed it or something, but there is more than a "moderate chance" of the undead making some sort of appearance in the game.
Watch the "Haunted" trailer again?
@ Tvitusgetz- NMH2 is currently set to launch at the end of January.
Finally a No More Heroes I can get my girlfriend into! Unfortunately she got tired after the first four assassains in the first game. Anything where you can play with a kitty or turn into a tiger and start mauling people though is something she'll be willing to give an extensive go!
Spread the love! This sequel looks amazing! I'm going to stop using exclamation points after this last one!
Maybe it's the Suda 51 fanboy me, but I cannot get enough of all the new NMH2 videos that have been released lately. Just makes me want to get this stylish bastard of a game even more.
Also, I can't help but wonder if Suda 51 is having a laugh at our expense by releasing such strange videos. Like the fresh air and workout ones? I'm not sure if he wants to confuse me or just scare me away from his game.
Ahh, this reinvigorated my burning desire to get my hands on the game. I couldn't get enough of Killer 7 and NMH (I even tried out the Samurai Champloo game that he had a hand in). I can't be excited forever but watching these videos just ignited a fire that'll keep me pumped for at least a solid week or two.
I never really got the 1st one as EVERYONE said how hard it was and I beat it on normal and I died once at the sexy bat girl and during that stupid bike chase at the very end.
I'm in. I finally got around to playing through the first one last week and loved it. Hope they explain why he doesn't have the Tsubaki Mk. III, and it's nice to see Sylvia's back.
"I'll get it when it comes to an HD console. Wii victory!"
So you're going to wait like 2 years to play a game that you could just play in mere months on the Wii? Yeah that's showing Nintendo that you're too hardcore for their system. Keep up the good fight and by "the good fight" I mean keep up the incredibly moronically logic, that you got there!
There's something to be said about Shinobu, a black girl (not a ganguro as I originally thought), calling Travis, a white guy, "Master". Even Travis picks up on the wrongness. Obviously not intended by the (Japanese) devs, but all the same, the implications are still there.
This won't stop me from searching for playthrough vids in Youtube when this game comes out.
God fucking dammit. I will only have enough money in January for Mass Effect 2 or No More Heroes 2. Both are the sequels to my favorite games of this gen... This is like having to choose between saving one of your children over the other.
I was leaning towards Mass Effect 2, but then these trailers made me jizz my pants in anticipation. I'll get both eventually but I want each DAY 1!!!
