Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
As noted by G0Nintendo, this image appears at the end of the Japanese version of the trailer;

It might just be standard Nintendo copywrite information that whoever put the trailer together just copy/pasted from whatever official crap they had.
Or it could be confirmation of MotionPlus

Or they could just use it to make it matter which way you moved the Wii Remote for the finishing blows. If I'm remembering correctly, it only mattered if you moved vertically or horizontally. So if you were prompted to swing up for a finisher, you could swing down and it'd still work.
Just lay M+ over the existing controls, and maybe tweak the follow through of attacks or something...

unless they just use it to make the finishers more picky. in the first game all you had to do was wave your hands around in any direction. Then you wouldn't need it to play the game, but using it would make it a little harder? I don't know, I'm just throwing shit out there.
Edit: Beaten :-(

Ehh, I remember actually having to move in the direction indicated or else it wouldn't perform the finisher...

Motion Plus + NMH =
WTF? Before it didn't matter if you swung up or down on the finishers and wrestling moves, but now with motion plus it matters. M+ does't mean that everything in the game has to be mapped to 1:1 or completely reworked. It's a tool that helps you make your game better not something that dictates what kind of game you make.

So yeah is there a way I can make my avatar bigger?

The direction did matter but it was a conscious decision in the development process to have a less rigid window of movements so people wouldn't get frustrated at the lack of response of the normal remote capabilities.Scrubking said:
And it worked pretty well in the end. It was satisfying.
Really, I'm not against the use of motion+ and I understand what you guys are saying. I just think it's unnecessary in this particular instance.

Hell yeah at WM+, Suda mentioned it in one of his interviews, hope for torquing the ehgine of the motorcycle and and new minigames.

I notice that Travis has something like a "holster" on his belt now. During the trailer, I think I saw several beam katanas dangling off it at one point. Maybe now we can change sword types in the middle of the game (and it actually makes a difference)?
Yusuke Kozaki's artwork is so good. Fits the game so perfectly. If it wasn't for his work, Takada's and Fukuda's, NMH would lose a great deal of its charm.EmCeeGramr said:

You're right, I didn't notice it before. Awesome if we can change katanas during the stages.

Yeah, as I said above I'm not against it. If it does in fact make the gameplay better I'm all for it.Haunted said:
I just don't think such tuning would necessarily make it "better". It would essentially be the same thing, you would still be shaking the remote to where the arrow is pointing in the same way and you would still not miss many of them since M+ would give you more accuracy which would compensate for the smaller window. To me, the actual fun in the finishing moves (besides the visceral feeling) was trying to move the remote again at that exact moment which would unleash a more powerful finisher that had a stronger effect with more coins and blood.
If they do end up using M+ the way you guys are proposing I won't bitch or anything, it just won't make a difference to me (unless it does become better and they get really creative with the finishes or something but I can't be sure for now).
In the end I don't disagree with you. I want better gameplay. I'm just saying that, regarding the finishes, I would play in the same with or without M+. I Hope we can get more info on how/if they're using the add-on soon.
(This got bigger than I planned)
Aw fuck this.
I spent six hours yesterday (Friday!) evening to play NMH1, ditching my friends like a social recluse. I even started a new game, because I had forgotten all of the controls and much of the story. Travis is now ranked #9 right now, and he's utterly broke because I'm going OCD over all the clothes and accessories and whatnot. AGAIN.
ARGH.

I didn't play much of the first game, but I watched a whole lot of it as a friend played, and it looked intriguing if nothing else.
I've never played a Suda game before (I want to, don't get me wrong, Killer 7 and NMH are two games I really have to track down), but I know enough about the sort of games he makes to be at the very least interested in anything he leaves his fingerprints on.

M+ will probably be used for minigames as well.
Ok let me start off by saying that this is the only game that I have watched the trailer of over and over again for about 10 years - simply put this is one of the only things keeping me interested in gaming.
Anyway here's my predictions on NMHDS storyline (as much as you can ever predict where Suda is involved)
I don't know why I've spoilered these because they're pure speculation and feel free to come back in 2010 to laugh at me
Anyway it would explain why Travis looks so pissed now
Also on the blood issue the footage clearly comes from the Japanese version but the blood filter overlay indicates that the US will again get a bloodier version but they hadn't added the effect to the build from the trailer just yet

First up the voice at the beginning of the trailer: clearly it's Travis' voice actor (who didn't voice anyone else in the first game, why would he in the 2nd) which leads me to believe that he might go a bit schizophrenic during the game
Why would he go schizo? Because whatever agency (or whoever) is going around killing his friends and it's because of his actions in the first game "Travis, you are the loser, this is the ultimate vengeance".
Or perhaps he's haunted by the people he's killed - one scene is set in a graveyard and we already know that the VA behind Destroyman has recorded new lines.
One of the scenes with the girl in pigtails - this is clearly a flash back (it has a sepia filter) and you never see Travis, only his hand on the tree, so he could be younger in this scene. Later she says "don't get me preggers" so it wouldn't surprise me if Travis went and did just that and has a child who the agency/boss relatives (or whoever) try to kill - hence Desperate Struggle.
The whole game is a Desperate Struggle to kill the relatives of the first game's bosses before they kill Travis' friends/child "This isn't a battle. This is a motherfucking war"
Sylvia would come back because she has knowledge of the boss' relatives I guess

Interesting theory, D-X, however, this one point:
This doesn't look like a flashback. The Famitsu scans show part of this scene (in a box titled "Next Assassin!?"), and they clearly show Travis talking with the girl and sitting next to her. It's also the "current day" Travis, considering how he's wearing his updated jacket and the belt/holster carrying multiple beam katanas.

Maybe with all of the new shit this game brings, we can finally change his sneakers as well as the rest of his wardrobe.
Sometimes you'd make an ill outfit, only to have Travis looking like a nub in cutscenes when you see him wearing the same old miles prower puma knockoffs.
