All things considered, you probably shouldn't watch the No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle dev diary we've posted above. It's pretty NSFW, it's chock-full of spoilers for the original Heroes (and even some for the sequel!), and it features more shots of Suda 51 sitting on the toilet than we're really comfortable with seeing.
On the other hand, it also sets a new precedent for how enjoyable these developer diaries can be. Instead of a bunch of dudes sitting in a dimly lit room talking about how awesome their game is, it's just Suda, sitting in a bathroom stall, talking about how awesome his game is, and then his head explodes. We take back the entire first paragraph of this post. If you don't watch the video posted above, then we simply can't be friends anymore.

I'm anticipating this game as much as Tmac is anticipating Mass Effect 2.

Fuck I want this game, even though the first had its own problems.

Well the open world is gone, so that fixes the biggest complaint.

Obviously felt he had to reference himself somehow... usually, he just brings up the last game he made... but now, this is a sequel, so...

This Video just took a dump on every single developer diary ever in existence. Fact.
Too bad I don't have a Wii.

Oh, Suda, your craziness NEVER gets old. EVER.
Also, I find it amusing how these trailers are strangely inconsistent about censoring profanity.

Will this game also release at $30? thats what got me to buy
the first one at launch. I hope this one as well, or else ill have to wait
a couple of months for the price to drop.

All dev diaries need to be like this.
If they were, I would watch them all. Even for a Barbie Ultra Pony Ride Vol. 18 game.

I sorta wanna watch this but I also don't want to spoil anything from the game. Knowing a couple of the bosses is already too much, NMH was definitely best when you had no idea what batshit insane thing was coming.

I'm unsettled after watching that video. I'm left with a feeling of disquiet. It took me a minute or so after it finished for me to recover my wits, and when I did, I discovered someone had drawn the number 51 over a toilet on face and my wallet was missing.
