We know all our favorite light-saber wielding, zombie slashing man, Travis Touchdown right? No More Heroes was pretty good for the Wii. We're all ready for No More Heroes 2, right? If you're one of those people and have a Wii, your hopes just got shot down.
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle isn't expected to hit store shelves in the Wii section. In an interview with Grasshopper Manufacture CEO Goichi Suda, he had this to say, "I really want to make NMH a big franchise, and with this second episode have bigger success. I’m putting a lot of care into developing this IP, as I feel there’s a lot of potential. 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."
If you've done all you can, then try to make it better! Or at least stick with what you've done.
At E3, Project Natal by Microsoft seemed to grow on Suda51. Good things for
No More Heroes 3 perhaps?
"Hardware-wise, it was all about Project Natal," Suda said. "It's hard to really understand it unless you use it, and it remains to be seen what you can do with it, but I think it'll be a huge device. We developed No More Heroes with the Wii remote in mind, but now I want to think about games with Natal in mind. I have to ask myself, as a game designer, what new games can be done with this, what can be an interesting experience and challenge, and I'm looking forward to that."
If you have the 204 issue of the magazine, Edge, you can continue to read the full interview there. Australians can expect
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle in 2010 from Rising Star Games.
Oh, and if you're wondering what this game will look like, take a look for yourself.
