So we've got some returning villains.
- Destroyman 2: Both cyborg halves of the original.
- Skelter Helter: The brother of Helter Skelter out for revenge.
- Shinobu & Henry: Back to help Travis.
I wonder if Letz Shake is going to show up again.

You must choose "return to Santa Destroy" after ending the game. If you started a new one and saved over the former, well...

Remember guys: There should be a media blowout on the 16th.

Load the credits' save. I think that one should give you the option of returning to Santa Destroy.

Either way, it's worth it.

I want to know if the high/low stances are still in, because none of the videos shown so far give a clear indication, and there's nothing on the HUD to indicate so.

I'm getting a strange feeling they scrapped it in favour of the Single/Dual beam katanas.

I played it, and they are still there. Though, I had the feeling that you had to hold the wiimote lower for the low stance. May be wrong on this.

Also had the feeling that high and low stance changes the way you execute your enemies. High = decapitation, low = torso slash.

They're mentioned in the Nintendo Power teaser, so yes, they're still in.

Hmmm, not sure if I want. Didn't like NMH because of the shitty bike, monotomous combat and playing it censored just derived it of all the fun :p

I like the 8-bit jobs though, plus the fact that there will be an uncensored version in PAL-land.
The bike is still in right?

I've been on media blackout for this game ever since the first reveal trailer. I'm really excited to see all of the new craziness Suda will throw at us!

Bike is still in, but it looks different (and probably handles differently as well). The overworld in general is supposed to get a big overhaul. With the new beam katanas, more physical attacks, 2 other playable characters with their own unique movesets, tiger-mode, (somewhat) destructible environments and more varied and smarter enemies, I'd say the combat isn't going to be as "monotomous" this time either.

As much as I love NMH, I was pretty disappointed by the soundtrack especially after the brilliance of Killer7's OST.

There's some great tracks in NMH, but I think the overuse of the main theme and its various remixed versions as well as the rather dull mini game music and the overuse of "Heavenly Star" just felt tiresome, lazy and uninspiring.

I hope Grasshopper Manufacture manages to surprise me with the game's music in the sequel.

You have a point here.

On the other hand, I think the great tracks from NMH do a better job at stressing the game's best moments (bosses, mostly).

It certainly looks like Tiger mode is a Darkside mode. You can see a grindhouse-ish filter on those segments, and also in another segment where Travis is slashing up an enemy extremely fast.

I loved the NMH soundtrack overall. Especially the boss tracks are amazing:

Steel Python

Heat in Heart
Pleather for Breakfast
Stop Hanging DJs
Rocket Surgeon
CHIPSTER DASH
LET'S FIGHT A BOSS
Vioelectrolysis


Are the top favorites :D The rest is good as well, ofcourse.

Oh and I just found a remix of chipster dash

..Oh nevermind it doesn't sound so good now. Overdone on the guitars.

I probably forgot some good songs :lol These are just the ones I'm listening to now

Since the topic came, I think I never read anyone on GAF praising Mach 13 elephant explosion. What I don't understand, because it's a concentrated load of badassery that fits perfectly
Travis blasting doors and running against a huge fucking laser

I thought this was the song that played during the 'loading with the robotic voice saying the boss name' bits?

Done.

As for Europe, supposedly Q1. However, a recent Rising Star article talked about the games they were localizing in Q1 and NMH2 wasn't part of it, so I fear it may have slipped to a later date.
