NO MORE HEROES 『ノーモア★ヒーローズ』

EDGE MAGAZINE: as typed out by Neal T (thanks!)

Suda claims the AI has been improved and enemies will now attack depending on their class and weapon, being ranged or more up in your face. They say the dual beam katana is pretty and the animation is suitably awesome with "effortless style". "It's a spectacle as much as a slaughter."

On secondary playable characters: They'll each have their own style and cool factor. Will Travis be overshadowed? Hardly. "He gets to pilot a giant robot! This lets you fight on a larger scale - there will be plenty more variety as well."

The game's city has been scaled back a little bit, improved visually with motion blue and HDR lighting. Suda says it's closer to the game he wanted to deliver originally. Edge says the city is a lot more lively and the streets more populated. He describes it as one-and-a-half times the original.

Regarding mini games: "The reason that I put these elements in is that it's a challenge to make a game," says Suda, "and so I want to make the player feel challenges to even play the game... Travis has to work..." it's a principle that, according to Suda, permeates his games.

On No More Heroes as a franchise: "I think this is the last NMH that is going to be developed on Wii. To expand NMH to new possibilities, we need a new platform. Wii is a great platform, but we've done everything we can with it now."

 

 

GIANT ROBOT WHUT. GLASTONBURY Y/N?

ALSO: Secondary Playable Characters?? hmmm. (Henryyyy?)
 

No more on the wii? That's sad. I loved shoving this game in people's faces when they say the wii's got nothin. I feel like it's always a better result when you work within restrictions. But ah well, who know's better than the man himself. He won't do us wrong.
SUDA~ PLZ TO BE BRINGING TO PS3.

APPARENTLY!

The latest issue of Nintendo Power has three interesting details about the upcoming No More Heroes 2 sequel, notable enough that they could be considered spoilers, so consider yourself warned.

1. Shinobu, the teen assassin from the original game, will return in NMH2: Desperate Struggle as a playable character. Her fighting style will significantly differ from Travis’, as she moves faster and can even jump. You can’t play as her whenever you want, though.
2. Suda expects NMH2 to have around 50 boss battles. He comments, “… we didn’t just want you to be fighting them as the same character again and again. By allowing the player to use a different character we can change up the tempo and offer more surprises. “
3. Travis’ primary reason for taking on the United Assassins Association again is to avenge the death of his best friend from the first game, Bishop.

Suda says that despite the grave setup, NMH2 won’t lose the original’s playful tone: “Travis can’t be Travis if he’s not doing all kinds of stupid stuff, too. So don’t worry; we’re going to balance the seriousness of the fight this time with the silliness of Travis.

SHIT, YOU GUYSSSSSSSSSSS.

Reservations just opened up today and the game opens on July 10th. We currently don't have any No More Heros characters, but we'd love to change that!

Feel free to delete if it goes against the rules!

Hey guys!
Last month I attended Fanime con in California as Bad Girl. I don't have any pictures of myself on my camera, so I snooped around Flickr for these. Eventually I want to do a real photoshoot somewhere.


( DAMN PIX under the DAMN CUT )

Summarized:
-more serious, deeper story
-fixed/improved open world
-better AI in enemies
-improvement to the physics engine
-more than 10 boss fighters, number yet unknown
-better ranking not limited to 1 on 1 fighting
-Wii Motion Plus is still being looked at
-Travis' cat will be back, but fatter (maybe a mini game where you put her on a diet)
-improved motel room
-bike is back but improved and souped up

This is seventeen, your friendly (if only because she can't stop lurking) moderator. I've stopped using that account, and have transferred maintainer status for the community to this one. Business will continue as normal, unless you work for Pizza Butt, in which case you are probably DEAD.

... I am feeling a bit excitable at the moment, please excuse me.

I will also be overhauling the community in preparation for the new game, maybe setting up some tags, and revising the rules a little--again, no major change! I'll give a heads-up when they're done.

(I'm a bit crap at graphics and layouts actually, so if anyone has any free time and wants to volunteer to make an icon and layout for this comm that suits a Basic account, feel free :D)

Finally, I am pretty goddamn gleeful that we have cleared 200+ members. Thanks for keeping the community going, everyone!

So hey, if you're familiar with SNK games and their fandom, perhaps you had heard about the internet gag about websites named after K' and Rock Howard but are completely and coincidentally unrelated to those characters. I think I just found the NMH equivalent of that happening:

http://www.destroyman.com/

Apparently it's some guy's blog. Maybe it's not that special or as funny as the SNK take on this, but it's still kinda weird. Specially for me since I've adopted Destroyman as a nickname at a few places.

One of the big third-party Wii games set to be shown at E3 2009 is No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle, the sequel to 2008’s eccentric and hyper-violent story of Travis Touchdown, a young man who takes his trusty lightsaber on a quest to kill the world’s top 10 assassins. What can fans expect to see out of this upcoming sequel? For the answer to that question, we recently spoke with the game’s director, Suda51.

( full thing under cut )

Not only was Ubisoft's E3 conference bad, No More Heroes 2 was mentioned in title only. The guy speaking goes onto saying how great Suda is and how awesome this game will be, but they did not show anything. "Let's move on." lol Good job, Ubi.

Hello, this is my first time posting on the community... But let's skip the introductions.

CHECK IT OUT!

new characters!
Intense Travis!
New weapons!
Sylvia's new look!

So I just got around to beating NMH again, and Sylvia's last phone call got me thinking. (Check about 9:49 for reference.)

How many girls here are "desperate bitches?"

*raises hand XD*

Okay, I've looked around on a couple of websites and have had no luck. Does anyone here know who does the voice of the man who faxes Travis the messages about the next ranked battle? It sounds so familiar but...I have nothin'. Can ya help me out?

currently we only have a travis, who needs some company :D

Hey guys! I'm doing a Bad Girl cosplay, and I'm really bad with make-up, so would anyone happen to have any close up in-game screencaps of her face?

Or if you have any knowledge of make-up usage tutorials/and stuff. ;)


Thanks! ♥

I found a spoiler (not an atomically massive spoiler, but I'd consider it significant) dropped at the very end of the Wikipedia article for Desperate Struggle. It is under the cut for those who want to wait and find out for themselves! (and if you do... avoid Wikipedia. Trust me.)
