a few new screens out of Famitsu:

this last image is most intriguing to me since it's quite intimate. it adds with the first image because it not only shows a slight difference in style and improvement of technology, but also a kind of hollow fear on Travis's part, which was nearly unheard of in the first, except maybe when

Spoiler

Thunder Ryu died :'(

.

also, Suda being awesome:

edit: oh sweet a new page. and when will anyone get around to that GAF plays thread?

 

[wRATH2x]

Looks so fucking awesome!

Gimme some time. End of next week, maybe.

 

[hellclerk]

there's an interview up with Suda 51 on the Ubisoft events page. totally worth watching, and he actually gives a SERIOUS answer to the question of whether or not Travis washes his hands after going to the bathroom. i love you Suda, never change

More stuff:

- Fat Jeane, diet minigame
- do more in your room
- More boss fights than in the first (hopefully 50)
- "cooler" controls

 

[Akai]

- Not just 1 v 1 Boss battles anymore

There just HAS to be a fight against Pure White Lover Bizarre Jelly (or girls cosplaying as them) this time!

 

[Nicktals]

Can't watch the video right now...is the "hopefully 50" added by you, or said by Suda?

 

[pakkit]

All Suda said is more than 10.

That would be awesome.

Yeah. That was me. He just said more boss fights than the first game.

First page from the new nintendo power article.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Scans of NP have confirmed 50 bosses, boss fights against multiple opponents, and playable Shinobu (who runs faster than Travis and can jump).

OOOOOOHHHHHHH SSSSSHHHHHIIIIIIEEET that's awesome.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

That's pretty excessive.

Shinobu:

Spoiler

So what's the deal with Shinobu's right hand? She loses it after the bossfight in NMH1 but gets it back at the end. Does it shoot lasers in NMH2? What's the deal?

Spoiler

The scans show her wearing a black glove over her right hand. Maybe it's a prosthetic now?

I was just about to ask if she wore a black glove. Of course it's a prosthetic, just like Skywalker's

 

[Zen]

Arg, this game is making me keep my Wii. Go NMH2!

 

[pakkit]

Suda51 don't fuck around.

 

[TunaLover]

50 bosses? I hope this doesn´t affect the whole quality, you know filler bosses or lame not so awesome bosses.

 

[MoogPaul]

Supposedly, there will be fights against multiple ranks at the same time. So it's not 50 individual fights.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Playable Shinobu makes me hope for co-op mode. <3

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Supposedly, there will be fights against multiple ranks at the same time. So it's not 50 individual fights.

I'm betting it's normal fights with ranks 50 - 40

Then a Dynasty Warriors-style fight against 39 - 5

And individual fights with the rest.

That seems very Suda-ish.

I'm hoping for an Old Boy-esque exhaustion fight against dozens of assassins.

 

[MoogPaul]

I'm kind of expecting not necessarily a gauntlet match against a ton of assassins so much as a group of assassins at once. Think of 5 assassin's who are a group and fight at the same time (Axem Rangers style) but them being listed as like 35 - 30.

 

[Dizzle24]

Shit just got real.

Spoiler

He's the Obi Wan to her Luke :lol :lol

I CANNOT FUCKING WAIT to see how this game's plot plays out.

Playable Shinobu??? Fuck Yes x 1,000,000 =

 

[Hiltz]

I've been looking forward to No More Heroes 2 ever since it was first announced but some of these new in-game details are just too cool.

 

[TunaLover]

I'm betting it's normal fights with ranks 50 - 40

That seems very Suda-ish.

And the not playable ranks Letz Shake style.

Wouldn't it make more sense to fight DW style with the lower ranked opponents (as in not as good) than the upper?

 

[Black-Wind]

If there are scans can someone PM the link?

Sounds about right.

 

[DimmuBurgerKing]

..Shit. Thread is making me want to replay NMH.

Looks like 2010 is turning out to be a good fucking year to be a gamer.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Letz Shake was a 5th rank in NMH and we all know how that turned out.
Best to just wait for the surprise.

 

[AceBandage]

Honestly, it's pointless for any of us to predict what will be in this game, because we don't have a fucking clue what's going on in Suda's head.

 

[BorkBork]

Spoiler

Suda loves his Star Wars, that's for sure. :lol

 

[MoogPaul]

Sounds about right.

As much as I enjoy people agreeing with me, don't ask around for scans unless you want a neogaf vacation.

 

[hellclerk]

Suda loves his Star Wars, that's for sure. :lol

oh my God! I JUST GOT IT!

Vader: "No Luke, i AM your father!"

Skywalker: "No! That's Impossible!"

Spoiler

Travis (paraphrased): "I didn't Kill your father"

Shinobu (paraphrased): "No! That's Impossible!"

:O

 

[rikichi]

Awesome, awesome news.

Cannot wait to play as Shinobu.

Also, Yusuke Kozaki's character designs are, as always, fuckin awesome.

 

[Christine]

Exactly. God I need a GAF Plays thread this weekend.

Pretty much, yup.

i was actually being wittily facetious, since

Spoiler

cutting off the hand is a symbol of stripping away power and ability, and more useful as relating for an injury that teaches a lesson

. see: ancient punishment of thieves. the Star Wars reference is easy to build on the condition though is merely consequencial. for example, the color of the glove and what it implies as to what's under it would be a proper reference, but the fact of the matter is, that glove needs to be there in one form or another. it is us, the products of our popular culture, that draws the parallel immediately.

Or the fact that No More Heroes is riddled with Star Wars references and Suda is a pop culture whore. But super read into things, that's cool too. I don't know about me, but you're obviously an expert on Japanese culture.

more like literature and media. if i was an expert in Japanese (pop)culture, i would have known about some random samurai flick where

Spoiler

someone gets their hand cut off

and said the scene more represented that film. the Star Wars references are what i call a subreferencial constant, meaning that the Star Wars references are inherent simply because of things like the Beam Katana and

Spoiler

the murdered father,

though not necessarily initially intentional. the themes are there no matter what, so thus it's almost always easy to draw the parallel, even when they're there by pure literary coincidence.

The fake end credits are clearly a reference to Star Wars. If I recall correctly, there's even a poster in Bishop's store that references Star Wars. On top of that, the soundtrack has a song called "Staff Wars EPISODE I", that is distinctly similar to the Star Wars: Episode I theme rendition.

The Star War references are abound. Its you who's choosing not to see them.

It may have gotten into the first game by coincidence, but I've got a hunch that the writers have recognized this parallel and are running with it. A visual reference to the final scene of ESB or something similar would seal the deal. God I can't wait to see what they do with this game.

 

[wRATH2x]

Holy shit 50 bosses!? Hell yes! The bosses were the best thing about the game. I hope there's an MJ inspired boss(Yeah I know but still ;-( )

 

[Dascu]

Supposedly from the previous Edge magazine:

"It's still too early to tell you everything about the game," says Suda, "but firstly we're going to have more than one playable character - as the scenario unfolds, Shinobu and Henry will become playable and will bring their own styles and cool factor".
