Suda Goichi takes the throne once again to narrate (in curiously deep voiceover) a new trailer for No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle. While the last trailer was mostly narrative-focused, this trailer (posted after the break) goes into detail about new features in the game, including new controls for the Beam Katana(s), the ability to kick and punch with the B button, and the new 8-bit-style job missions! Be warned (explicitly, if not by knowledge of previous No More Heroes promotion): there is some toilet humor.
Additionally, we've posted two gameplay clips below the new trailer, as featured on IGN. While the footage in the trailer is from the Japanese version and therefore blood-free, the gameplay footage is very bloody and includes some tasteless (even for NMH) violence. The clips also include proof that if you thought the sword's battery charging couldn't get any more phallic, you were mistaken.

"I just don't see how that's possible. It had more than its fair share of problems and issues."
Yeah but it made up for that by being fucking awesome in every other aspect. Most Wii games make me want to toss my controller at a baby. However No More Heroes had me hooked until the end due to it's over the top humor.
It is possible! It was my favorite too. Aside from the great characters and humor, the combat felt great to me. It didn't make you waggle all the time, but gave you the slash/wrestling finishing moves.
I think I may have to agree with you there. While it is a decent game I can't really say it's my favorite since it was ridiculously repetitive. Really it's a game I like more for its style than its actual gameplay.
No More Heroes is also my favorite Wii game. It's also the best game I've played in a while. I really can't remember the last time I game had me that hooked from beginning to end. The story really made up for the repetitive part, but even the repetitive part was fun to do. I admit gameplay wise it's not such a great game, but story wise, character wise and humor wise No More Heroes tops most of the game I've played.
I wish I could up vote Suda51 and Travis Touchdown in real life so that they have constant shaft of heavenly light shine down on them to show the world how awesome they are.
looking awesome! I still don't understand why the Japanese version comes without the blood? we're talking about the only country that happily sexualises children to make Yen but cuts blood out of video games?? i mean its a moot discussion anyway, as all the other version (including the european one) will have blood and gore. I just think its kinda weird...
Really? I mean, I find it a bit weird since even manga and anime for kids has a lot of blood and violence in it. Hell, they even censure it for American TV sometimes. But when it comes to video games they're just... suddenly more strict?
I hope the minigames are less prevalent in this one, because a minigame is a minigame, no matter how stylized it is, and I want to get back to cutting people sooner.
Hah, this is weird, I don't get downvoted often. Sorry people I offended.
I guess I meant that I didn't like how much time was spent mowing lawns and collecting coconuts in the first game. It made the story go more slowly than I'd have liked, and they weren't as fun as the rest of the game.
It was one of those things (one of those things being an odd design choice). He purposely made those tedious so you realise how tedious such jobs would be, I remember him saying that himself.
Looks to be a vast improvement in terms of play mechanics (improved dodging, switch katana on the fly, less choppy movement of characters in all cases, etc), aside from the noticeable graphical boost
jokes on me, I just saw that this video was posted in this article.
Down-vote if you must, but you will just me down-voting the pure enlightenment of the idea of throwing to bitches at an enemy only to be unfortunately chopped the hell out of.
BTW, I don't it's THAT tasteless. I mean the game is known for being so over the top ridiculous, such as in the previous game whenever you split a guy into 2, he'd cry "MY SPLEEN". Chances are if Jack Thompson was still around he'd probably use that scene alone as a example of No More Heroes as a "Murder Simulator".
I just hope the overworld gameplay works out better. Last time, the motorbike felt awkward, and the city felt empty and... ever seen that Stephen King novel-movie The Langoliers? It felt like the airport. I hope you understand.
Yeah, there's only a few places you can go to because they're the only places that Travis really cares about (video store, clothing store, weapon shop, etc.). I hope the sequel has more places to visit, but I can understand if it doesn't.
