We have a really awesome interview with Suda 51 coming, I promise we do. In the meantime, check out the creative mind behind Killer 7 and the No More Heroes 2 chat about his latest work while showing off exclusive footage of the game's third level.
There are some mild spoilers here, as well as a fair amount of blood and wanking motions. That's to be expected from any NMH2 video. What I didn't expect was the brilliant combination of giant robot anime-logic with American football. It makes sense. Both focus heavily on the idea that when people get together in matching outfits, work as a team, and give in to group-think, an extremely violent, devastatingly painful (for the other guy) victory will result. I never realized how much giant shoulder pads and a flurry of homing missiles could have in common
It's hard to imagine how this game could be anything less than one of my all time favorites. I'm literally counting down the days until January 26th.

After the rollercoaster ride that was the final battles of the last game. It sounds like SUDA51 is just going to let all the ending stuff with Silvia and such go by the wayside and act like it didn't happen.
Travis going into some kind of retirement state sounds just like the first boss of No More Heroes, yet some new assassin's roll in and all of a sudden Travis is knocked from the #1 spot to #51? I mean, it's SUDA51, so all I can think of as an explanation is the definition of SUDA51, which is in fact: SUDA51.
As great as this all looks the boss fight itself doesn't seem to control very well...it looks exceedingly clunky. I'm sure the boss fights built around the games normal fight engine are great but this one just looks a bit busted.

More than anything, like now after watching that, I'm just pissed that other developers have not made awesome things like this.
That would have been awesome to discover, but its still crazy exciting!
I am excite!
...and then cheerleaders starting shooting into space.
Suda51, I love you. Don't ever stop being you. :'(
I'm excited about the game, but I'm trying to avoid previews.

I love the OP to that series! :OD
