O_O...there IS a God....

Knoxximus (XBL/PSN)

Simply, kick ass.....

Lockgar

I really hope it's for the Wii, mine has been collecting dust since... No More Heroes.

cio

I actually just played and beat this literally yesterday, fantastic game (minus the stupid chores and clunky driving).

I now have a reason to keep my Wii, atleast until I get to play NMH2.

LegendK1ll3r

Yes! Thank you Suda, you are a genius.

LionheartAce

i loved the first game (only reason i bought a wii actually!) but i was kinda hoping they didnt come out with a sequel... i dunno i'd rather see Suda pump out news games instead of follow-ups, but whatever! i'll still buy it with <3<3<3!

pandafresh

Man, this'll be great. Can't wait to get my hands on it!

Xeneizes

sin and punishment 2, punch out, NMH2 wow I hope my wii does not burn out...

acelout

I'm so incredibly relieved that a game that had so much going against it on the marketplace (new IP, one by Suda 51, a less casual game on the Wii, etc) has been blessed with a sequel.

I learned my lesson from not supporting Okami on the ps2 (picked it up on the Wii and still waiting for my alternate covers) and bought NMH.

I applaud everyone who helped support this title and got us a sequel. Looks like unique, niche titles won't die if we as consumers vote with our wallets.

The Crimson Phantom

@sakujo: If they made one for the DS, I think that, somehow, they could make it work. I don't know how, I don't know what strings they'd have to pull, but it'd be amazing. Just because of what I've seen in the past, I feel like they could do it.

Xeneizes

@mythus:
maybe in japan, i thought it sold pretty well everywhere else.

sinister6000

The best game of the year so far is getting a sequel! Well, it seems that TGS has already made me happy!!!

FMAngel

Will everyone get the bloody version or just America again this time???

Cheater87

YES!!!!! im so excited!

AroundTheFur

That 'to be continue' at the end of the first game is finally not a cruel teaser! :D

daknight

NICE! I'll buy this game day one for sure. The first one was epic and the ending begged for a sequel.

Xelotath

I wish there was an emoticon for what I'm feeling.

Deft_One

@ElmntEarth1: Well, k7 did tell a complete story from start to end, so yeah. I didn't understand it all the first time through, but the story did come to a conclusion.

@paradox: Yes, and all the trading cards as well.

Jeff Paine

@ShaggE: Ooh! Can I do the third set? I'm more worried about the, uh, third set of letters: S R.

As in... uhm... Stinky... Ricardo? Wow, I got nothing.

Super news, though, this is some of the best news for Wii owners in a while! Count me in for certain.

dae_giovanni

Nice! I'll be looking forward to this baby for sure. More toilet saving!

Blah8

LOVE the first game It's so great that a sequel'll arrive. Thanks guys !!!

alfredofroylan

I love you, Suda. My love reaches across the Atlantic Ocean for you, and only you, my significant other.

Roc-Thul

Well, now my wii has TWO games.
That's a 100% improvement!

Thanks Suda, I will be looking forward to this.

Demonbird

This and Punch Out!! Wii have definitely made me want to bust out my Wii after being boxed up for the last four months.

The only thing I can ask for it maybe a redesigned freeform aspect, but other than that I was very entertained by the first one. I hope the combat stays mostly the same, since it was solid already. I'd like this to have no more waggle than the first, thank you very much.

JarenFace

@Archon Divinus: hell, i hate fangirls, but I'll be a fangirl for this game alone!

chaos_isnt_here

@Ping5000: same. so much hapiness!

chaos_isnt_here

definit insta buy

NMH is freakin awesome!

chaos_isnt_here

Ugh, still haven't played the first one. Now I need a wii soooo bad. Suda51 is gOD.

blue bed

Yes! Loved the first one. I'm glad Suda is making number two! Hopefully it's just as awesome!

alphonse610

Hell fucking yes, day uno purchase baby.

Mikey G

oh man. I will fap to this like no other.

I am turned on. hell yea.

chaos_isnt_here

Lets hope this stays with the Wii platform. Either way, unless it comes out on iPhone (which would be completely idiotic) I will have it. I still have to beat NMH.
Also, I want that Travis flag.
~Peace~

Cozwic

HELL YEAH! THIS GAME DESERVES A SEQUEL!

I wonder what the story will be about! :D
I hope they fix the graphical glitches from the first one.. the game could be a lot prettier with some more weeks of polish :/

CockroachMan

Oh my God I came buckets.

will866

@Jeff Paine: waiit, you're telling me you got closure from killer7's story?

ElmntEarth1

A sequal to the best Wii Game out there, and one of my personal fave games of all time has me pumped.

Also WII MOTION PLUS SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!!11

Neon

I've just had a nerdgasim seeing that title

chaos_isnt_here

when you have a woman with spider legs shooting out of her back what more do you need?
I need confirmation that it is indeed for Wii, that Desperate Struggle DS initials kinda freak me out, yeah, I'm paranoid like that

chemical_eng_mx

'Ello, Travis! Awesome.

onidavin

Need this, right now.
For those who haven't bought NMH1 yet, do it now.

WallaJoy- Snorlax?

I think I could base a purchase off the trailer alone...

Was there a first episode?

nerfrobot

wow, i thought suda was moving on to 360, i mean NMH was a good game, but epic failed in sales

TheNocturnalSun

Dude! I am such a fangirl right now!

Archon Divinus

@Para: Unless you're left-handed. Then it was the largest obstacle in playing the game...>_<

Suda51 doesn't like us sinister folk...

verrius

Well, my dreams just came true. No More Heroes is my favorite Wii game, and I will take every game in the series that Suda 51 puts out!

Robling

@Cbajd5: I'm more concerned about the second set of letters: E T.

That's right, landfill time.

ShaggE

Wow, I am so excited right now! The first game was a day one purchase for me! The prospect of an improved sequel, especially with wii motion plus is indeed epic!

isblackhawk

Buying this 1st day! Thanks suda for making fun wii games for the hardcore.

Gunloc

@sakujo: I thought it said Desperate Housewives. Which could work knowing suda

Gunloc

So they still made the second game for the Wii huh? Maybe they think motion-plus will make the game a success or that people will appreciate more adult games on the Wii? I didn't think that there'd be a sequel let alone it coming back to the Wii.

okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under)

@Swift_: It makes sense game wise that it be on the Wii. Control scheme was one of the highlights of NMH.

Para

@Jeff Paine:
Did you get all the swords and their parts?

paradox

I cried many manly tears of joy.

Cbajd5

I'm really surprised, considering the game absolutely tanked in Japan. It must have exceeded sales expectations in the US and Europe, I guess. Considering its non-impact in Japan, I wonder why they chose to announce it at TGS, of all places.

Stormrider

*crosses fingers for multiplatform*

PhoenixAzure

@willy626: Yeah, it was funny, but it pissed me off because I was looking forward to another story of the same caliber as killer7. Instead I got... a fun game, but a not-so-good story.

Jeff Paine

i am so all over this, i wish i could go to the future and bring it back

Kcet

You dropped the ball on the headline, Fahey. -.-

It should have been "Yes, More Heroes".

No need to thank me. Pleasure to be of service.

ShaggE

looks smexy. definite buy.

ChibiKyKiske

OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!

Chissu

This is the BEST news out of TGS bar none, and it came out of nowhere too. Almost makes up for the Team Ico no-show.

Korey

Sure storyline wise it would be there but can you honestly say that it would be a NMH game if they were to completely change the control scheme from the original to 2 so that it is on the 360/PS3?

We all loved charging our lightsabers.

Para

@Do Kesubei: Yes

MattB92

@Para: Is it Wii? Are you sure?

Swift_

@Jeff Paine:

What are you talking about? That made the game for me. He completely threw away traditional storytelling for the sake of one the funniest moments in gaming Ive ever been privvy to.

@Legion 329: What the hell makes you say that? NMH was praised as being the perfect blend of traditional and wiimote controls up til that point on the console, and the graphics certainly havent been upgraded, Im gonna call guesstimating out your ass on that one.

willy626

Day one!

Struct09

@Legion329: Why wouldn't it be? The first one was Wii only, so why wouldn't its' sequel be on the same system in the same generation of consoles?

Ravenhood

the first didnt sell so well on the wii. I can't see this being a wii title only, yet how could he target this game to a brand new audience.

mythus

My first thought when I saw "Desperate Struggle" was DS... Well, good thing that has a very slim chance of happening. I look forward to another one on the Wii!

sakujo

Tell me when I can pre-order

Kenzo287

This has so much potential, if that asshole Suda doesn't throw all the plot at the end of the game and end on a cliffhanger AGAIN

Jeff Paine

I almost cried when I saw this- it was just so...beautiful!

Japan_Time

I don't think it's going to be a Wii game.

Legion329

Awesome! I gave Grasshopper Manufacture my money for part 1 and I'll gladly do it again for part 2.

However, is this going to be a Wii game again?

Do Kesubei

Wii fans rejoice once more!

Now think if they had Wii Motion plus for this and considering what graphics the Wii can output with the demonstration from our friends at High Voltage... hmm...

Para

I'm in heaven right now.

Suda, you really did keep your promise.

Thank you so very much.

Killer7

Thank you Suda!

Mike's Stalker

Ok, That's ONE reason not to sell my wii system.

Azriel77

@Cbajd5:
4th set!

P U !!

as in "Peeeee Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"

...which doesn't make sense cuz it looks nuts lol

DIV360

Damn it.

Now that it has a sequel I have to go back and force myself to attempt to endure the first again just to get to the point that is worthy of all the praise this game gets.

Apparently, I gave up too early.

Mact

SWEEEEEET!

Got another reason to fire up the Wii :D Thank you Suda... Wait this IS going to be on the Wii right?

Rika Aiuchi is SeXXXy

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF YES!

SolidOni

@Cbajd5:

PU, as in the first game had too much Travis on potty?

Al? That must be the new villain.

Mact

YES! No More Heroes was great. It had over the top violence and the end was simply hilarious (anyone else check the slow mo monologue from her?) when every cliche was thrown in just because.

golguin

@Para: Yeah, I kind of missed charging my lightsaber after getting that last upgrade.

dslsd64

Holy cow. Thats awesome! I honostly didnt think they would make a part 2.

Punani

@dslsd64: Yeah and I even played it in other places too, evryone seemed to notice the stance travis made but everyone laughed at it.

HELLSRIDER

@sinister6000: yeah the thing is japan didnt like it for some reason and all the blood made the european version change it to ashes when you killed the enemies, it certainly made some smaller sales for that.

HELLSRIDER

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!

Bout time Suda announce this

Blue_Bomber88

graphics look better so it might come out for 360 or ps3. since they have a more "mature" audience... last no more heroes wasnt really a big seller. but im sooo stoked for it coming back i really didnt think it was going to especially after suda's comments on the sales of the 1st one

FencerHayato

@frank0127: and making controls the controls suck on ps3 too. Imagine moving the controller to make the combos on the ps3.....simply horrible.

HELLSRIDER

@frank0127: "I really don't think They'd shit on the fanbase"
like the fan base that Grasshopper Manufacture built in the US with the PS2 version of killer7?

Or do you mean that they'd shit on you for "taking it to the PS3's Sixaxis?"

Listen up kids; Suda51 has a rather large fanbase outside of Nintendo land.

Wii-Tard

@verrius: Really dude? why? I used my left hand to play this game and there were no problems..

Also this and Sin & Punishment 2 will be awesome....this game with motionplus would rock

Soleyu

Im astonished and happy this game is being made. I thought NMH1 sold pretty mediocre and never would've ever thought a sequel would be made. Wow.

Alex_Mexico

Finally! I loved the first one, its a game I usually like to remember for being so funny and entertaining.

HELLSRIDER

@dae_giovanni: i'll get the foruth set! P U.

well the first one didn't stink...

frank0127

FUCK YES! Oh please be for Wii! Oh please be for Wii! Oh please be for Wii! Oh please be for Wii!

Thanatos

@verrius: @DIV360: Knowing Suda, DS would probably stand for Dirty Sanchez....

Soleyu

@Xeneizes: i can easily imagine a DS No More Heroes where you swipe side to side to attack. the high/low stances would take effect on their respective spots on the screen(like if you swiped closer to the top of the screen, it would be 'high stance' attacking).

it's better explained in my mind than in words. hahaha

frank0127

YES! WOO! Blueberry cheese brownies for all!

Allosteric

FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dead_red_eyes

@Ravenhood: yeah, i really don't think they'd shit on the fanbase by taking it to the PS3's Sixaxis.

frank0127

@Para: oh man, this + MotionPlus.... thank you. i hadn't even thought of that!

OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN.

frank0127

@Soleyu: The on screen wrestling commands ...sucked....if you weren't holding the Wiimote in the right hand. The pop-up display which showed you which direction to jerk each controller was oriented towards right handed people, and as far as I could tell, there was no way to tell the game to reverse which side each cue came up on.

verrius

@Wii-Tard: I'm pretty sure he meant by making fans of the first game, which was on the Wii, have to pack up and move to a different console.

Also, it would be quite a different game control-wise on the sixaxis, wouldn't it? I say good move Suda.

phinehas

Why is this not just a cartoon. God Damnit Suda. You make bad games! That would be great cartoons! What do you not get about this!?!

Psudonym

@Cbajd5: I hope you are wrong cause somehow the game wouldnt be that good on DS, plus I love the cell-shaded style it has on the wii and specially all the lasers like the ones that woman used in the trailer.

HELLSRIDER

@Psudonym: He doesn't get it because he has never made a bad game. His games are just not suited for your tastes.

Ueziel

@FencerHayato: I really doubt it would do better elsewhere. The 360/PS3 userbase rarely responds to anything that isn't advertised HEAVILY and it would have much more competition from other games.

Meanwhile, games on the Wii are rarely advertised period and there are very very few games even close to it in genre.

Overall, it has a higher chance on Wii.

Ueziel

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

AnonymousNoob

I was thinking of buying the first one, but now I might just wait for this.

Is this gonna be for DS or Wii...looks like the whole DS naming convention thing.

Rockbot

Im....so....happy

Hm...well THAT was a surprise. A good one, I might add. Please ditch the open world this time. Thank you.

ThisCharmingMan

OMG OMG.....I love this trailer!

NeVeRMoRe666

More toilet saving FTW

Lightman

This is possibly the best gaming news I've heard in years. NMH is an incredible game that mor epeople should play. This is great, great news.

Let's hope they improve the frame rate. =)

CHONGLISS

@Cbajd5: EG.

As in "Egad!"

phinehas

Looks like there was one more hero. Suda51! He has saved the day.

360, PS3, or Wii. It doesn't matter. I'm going to get this game! Hell yeah.

MetaKz

I'd like to see a metroid prime hunters type system, where you walk around an open world with a set number of challengers, that can appear at any time, and if you encounter them, the area you're in becomes the area/battlefied you fight in (after dealing with cronies).
It would cut out the need to earn money for fights (the jobs still being there for money in general), and would provide great replayability, with each boss able to appear in several unique locations

namesRhard

This is incredible news! Now please please be on the wii and use the Motion-plus add-on. I'm sure it would look 'prettier' on the 360 but this game pulled off its distinctive style just fine on the little wii that could.

elronathon

FUCKING AWESOME!! : D

Grinman

YES.... YES YES YES YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

I think I just Save pointed myself...

LuppyLuptonium

OK, I'm a bit late to the party but all I have to say is..... YES! Thanks a billion GHM!

furiku

well, if only nmh wasn't so damn boooring and linear, a'd be glad. but this game makes me wanna go to sleep, not go through the ranks and stuff

echovch

I don't say this often, but... AAAAAWESOOOOOME!!!
The Wii's best game gets a sequel! Oh, joy! Oh, bliss! Oh, auspicious day! WOO-HOOOOO! LET'S PARTAAYYYY!!!

*ahem*

Antiterra

This made me smile and just made my day.

Sadly, no info on platforms... and "Desperate Struggle" strongly hints to DS. But come on, Stylus beam katana is ok, but Wiimote beam katan? Thats the way to go!

Also note, Im not taking any more crap if we get the "ash version" over here in Euroland... we want fountains of blood here too, Suda!

Shiryu

On a sidenote, have you notice that Suda seems to enjoy making girls/woman the harder bosses? And the first enemy shown is a woman... hmmm...

Jestersage

@Shiryu: I'd hate it if it were for the DS, and I don't think it is. The trailer announces "NMH2", not "NMH: Stylus Assassin" or some such title.

Despite the Dragon Quest precedent (a very classic franchise easily adaptable to any platform), I don't think the DS would get a numbered sequel.
A kind of spin-off, I can understand. A prequel, maybe? But why downgrade to the DS for NMH2?
I mean, it's not an attack against the DS to say that it would feel like a downgrade: to accomodate the portable, Suda would have to strip down many of the things that made the original great. I don't want Travis', Henry's and Sylvia's story to continue in gimped form.

Now, Wii/DS connectivity? I'm on board.

For now, I'll just assume it's for the Wii. Or at least a home console, not a portable.
("NMH2 iPhone exclusivity confirmed, prompting Antiterra to die in protest! More after the jump!")

Antiterra

Oh hell yes. What more pure fun can be had than from No More Heroes? I eagerly await mashing the A button and jerking off my Wii-mote some more!

Only thing: Make Santa Destroy a bit more fun to drive around, please? I'd like a bit more than finding random balls lying around to do.

Mink_Car

Better have blood. No edited ashes! Otherwise I'll have to import it from the states again. Less open world stuff would be nice too. Streets so boring!

NunianVonFuch

im so happy... just sooooo happy....

although on the other hand i do have to turn on my wii again...

dojita

Now THIS is the kinda news I like to wake up to.

Hell Yes!

Purple Flames

as a proud wii owner, im not sure this will be exclusive but i hope it is, remember what capcom said a few weeks agao about no longer releasing exclusive games.....

uWaAvenger

I really want a No More Heroes game to have you play as all the different assassins rather than just Travis and flesh out their stories. Then halfway through the game you would have to pick the character you want and kill of the rest or something like that.

angry_gamer

This was a great game for the wii. A 360 version would just ruin its appeal. The first one actually sold over 200,000 copies in the US, and almost that in the UK, not bad for aa early wii 3rd party title and even better than Killer 7 for the Gamecube.

This will probably rake in way more than that since there are more wii owners now and the game has been accepted a lot more. By the time people relized that his game was good they could buy it used for $20.

plankton88

MY SPLEEN!

ninjafetus

BTW, Suda is still strong with the Star Wars references, that Travis Strikes Back T-Shirt is awesome.

chemical_eng_mx

Hallelujah! The first one is one of the funner games one the Wii!

Reilaos: Reading Comprehension is your friend!

This is just soooooooooooooo damn awesome!!!! *cries*

valhum

@NeVeRMoRe666: That was the most awkward, but best part of the game.

Sousanator

@verrius: You could, you know, just wave your controllers frenetically that it would work too.

DarkDraken

@chemical_eng_mx: Actually, I believe it says "Travis Strikes Again".

VergessenHeld

Yes!

jeangrae

I look forward to the soundtrack.

M

i don't know why everyone is ragging on NMH for having bad sales; it sold great considering it was made by a tiny team on a shoestring budget. beat expectations in every country it was released in except japan. not every game needs to put up GTA numbers to be a success.

this announcement bears that out. and it makes me very, very happy.

thomas c

YES! More epic music to listen to!

Overklocked

@Legion329: [www.mmv.co.jp] COMFIRMED WII GAME!

Greet PG Adulteress?
Well there was certainly one of those in the first game...

@Cbajd5: Ah crap.

Actually I thought the game would be a one-hit wonder. Hopefully a sequel would come through without all the useless padding the first one had.

MPSai

Hooray!

Whenever I read the title, I threw up my arms and let out a high pitch squeal. Yeah, I'm a dork. XD

em

*Weeps with joy*

DarkAinur

Yes fucking please. This trailer got me so excited, my God. I want.

Blates-

@Clave: Again, source?

ShirtNinja

HELL YES! no more heroes is the best wii game and i was hoping for this!!!!!!!!

mr_grimster

@Clave: Source? This is the internet, you know.

ShirtNinja

THIS MAKES ME PANTS HAPPY.

bfwings55

No confirmation on which console it's being released for though. Suda did originally want to develop NMH for the Xbox 360 until he was persuaded to check out the Wii's motion controls.

I'm hoping we'll see this title on the Wii, but with a 2010 release, it'll be at the end of the Wii's life cycle.

Honestly though, I don't care what console it's on. I will go out and buy the console it's on if I don't have it, just so I can play this game.

ShirtNinja

@Mike's Stalker: This time Suda and company should do the release in America first and give us the special Toilet Paper. I think we showed No More Heroes quite a bit more love here than in Japan.

Ceezsa

@9a3eedi: I know!, It's obviously a Terminator reference, since NMH is full of references to the eighties and nineties

pikachumariachi

@ShirtNinja: YES THERE IS! Its for Wii -> [www.mmv.co.jp]

Thanatos

@Thanatos: Thanks for the link, but you should know by now that this is the internet. If it's not linked to a credible source it doesn't even matter.

Looks like we've got our confirmation now! It's Wii-bound!

ShirtNinja

Hmmm, I spotted PEGGLE in there... Minigame?

Chinpokomon

@ShirtNinja: Credible source? Its an official press release from Marvelous Entertainments (Producer of NMH) Japanese site. Cant get much more legit than that.

Thanatos

@Thanatos: I wasn't calling your source illegitimate. I was merely stating that saying the game is coming out for system x with no actual proof is silly on the internet, as other posts in this thread have stated.

Your source is great! Thanks for posting it!

ShirtNinja

Yay! the first was great. I have been waiting on this since I beat the first one.

Lion_Knight

All gripes about the cheap, clunky GTA clone portion of the game aside, I'll quote zero punctuation of escapistmagazine.com here: "I recommend No More Heroes simply because you will never in your life play anything fucking like it." I value a unique and challenging experience over anything else in a game, so it should come as no surprise that this game has captured the title of my favorite game ever. As soon as I (finally) took down the last boss, and then (finally [finally]) took down the LAST last boss, and saw the ending hinting at a sequel, I became ecstatic. The boss battles were absolutely the best I've ever experienced, making minimal use of the wii motion controls and placing emphasis on combos and extreme timing. That being said, I do hope the sequel improves in 3 key areas. 1st, I would like to see more wii control involvement integrating wii motion plus. 2nd, I hope to see more minor character diversity in the main missions. And lastly, I hope there are more "continuity schisms" like in the one mission where Henry "snatches" your kill from you, only to show up at the end as the final boss. These boss characters are so compelling (when not simply hilarious); it would be nice to be introduced to them more than once before dispatching them from this earth. Characterization in a video game? Whatever Suda 51 does to subvert the genre, the medium and culture in general with this sequel, $50 of my 2010 budget has already been assigned.

MonaPapus

[www.mmv.co.jp]

Need confirmation that NMH2 is a Wii-scusive? Click the link above. It's the Marvelous Entertainment Japanese press release. Scroll down to the NMH section. Only 1 console listed as it's destination - Wii.

Yes, almost all of this is in Japanese. But not the "which console" part.

Then again, it looks as if this won't even street until 2010.

jwebb

To be honest, I don't care what console it's going to be on. Suda51 can take my money, as long as I get the gift of NMH2 in return. Mmmmmm.

Smurph

i played the first one for about 8 minutes.

hooray, i guess?

isxco

Jiminy there's a lot of wacky stuff in that thirty seconds: "Travis Strikes Back" T-shirt, Terminator Two homage ("I'll be back," NMH2 logo and drum riff). I especially liked how all the spider legs came out at once; and then one more drops right under the crotch. Looks like they haven't lost their tacky classy touch.

FaithTelephus
