The idea of NMH2 not being canon anymore bothers me a lot more than it should. It seems so arbitrary.
This is like saying MGS3 isn't canon because it takes place before MGS2. Some of you need to chill out

So the game still has 3D parts too?
Super actually acknowledges GT in a lot of ways but it might be like a Broly thing where they acknowledge it without outright saying it's canon
What would've been the point of bragging about what engine the game uses in the trailer if it wasn't going to be a "full" sequel? People really weren't using there heads here.
What did Super acknowledge about GT?
You've got no good reasons to bitch. Not one. You just wanna bitch. Can't wait to see your worthless input in future NMH threadsNo, you will deal with it, i stop caring about NMH after this announce ¯_(ツ_/¯
'clinging'... What a disingenuous description of indie game involvement in TSA, but hey, I guess you're also allowed to be an idiotI am allowed to be dissatisfied of the idea that No More Heroes needs to cling onto separate popular intellectual properties to get its next game going, I don't see why that is so hard to understand.
I say yes, as well as the poster child for successful Kickstarter games. Shovel Knight is far and away the highest profile indie title to come out in recent memory, and its reach has been absurdly long. Consider that it's the only non-Nintendo IP to get its own amiibos (not counting third-party Smash amiibos), SK's many appearances in other games, the fact that Nintendo published the game in Japan. Dude's got staying power.Is it safe to say that Shovel Knight is basically the mascot for indie games at this point?
I still cant believe this single kickstarter game has gotten so big to the point where other games now base their premise on it.
My dream indie games lineup would be:
- Shovel Knight
- Hotline Miami
- Donut County
- Crypt of the Necrodancer
- Rock of Ages
- Jazzpunk
Donut County for the Katamari Damacy vibe, Crypt of the Necrodancer speaks for itself, Rock of Ages for the Monty Python-esque visuals and humor, and Jazzpunk because of the crazy visuals and humor too.
Rewatching the Nindies stream since I didn't catch it last night - apparently the Death Drive Mk. 2 is a game console that never went onto the market, and it runs on an engine called "Unreal Prototype", an obvious reference to the Unreal Engine. Rather than game cartridges or CDs, the games on the Death Drive Mk. 2 run on "Death Balls", and according to legend, if you collect all 6 of those games a Tiger God will grant you one wish. So this part is clearly parodying Dragon Ball but changes the Dragon motif with Travis' signature Tiger motif - which incidentally plays into the the old Chinese idiom of Tiger and Dragon, something that NMH2 did more explicitly with the Ryuji boss battle.
They also said the reason it isn't called No More Heroes 3 is because they wanted to start off on a fresh new adventure for newcomers and possibly set up a new future for the series. Suda feels the indie spirit manifests in the game through his desire to want to go back to making an "old school" kind of game on not as massive of a scale. Also, Suda said he wants to try making the game playable with only one Joy-Con, with the reason being that "it will make Travis much more easier to translate to Smash Bros."
It should be pointed out that during the stream Shovel Knight wasn't technically confirmed, Suda just said he wanted to work with it - but considering Yacht Club's enthusiastic response it seems like a done deal. He also invited other indie developers to get in touch with him. I'm wondering how far into development the game is; if it's targeting next year but they still haven't ironed out all the games being featured I'm wondering if they already have the mechanics and story down but maybe not the levels and worlds yet.
Ugh, i dont like the sound of that at all

I'd love to see Bit.Trip represented in NMH3. That would be awesome.The mascot for indie games should really be Commander Video. He's probably had more collaborations than Shovel Knight too.
Agree. It's another indie property with strong Nintendo ties.I'd love to see Bit.Trip represented in NMH3. That would be awesome.
I don't think Commander Video has the level of mindshare that Shovel Knight has. But before SK, he definitely would've been a contender.The mascot for indie games should really be Commander Video. He's probably had more collaborations than Shovel Knight too.
The whole game is 3D Action, that's the genre, lol. I still don't get why so many other people are being willfully ignorant, smh.

Because story was the focus of 1 and not 2.Wait why doesn't Suda like NMH2!? That game was badass AF and from what I remember the gameplay was way more enjoyable and removed a lot of the jank from NMH1.

I don't remember suda ever explicitly saying he disliked NMH2, he a might not have been a director but he was part of writing the story for the game
Hype
Even though Badman is holding his bat in all sorts of bad ways.
Missed opportunity to call it No More Heroes 2: Wrong NumberSounds so fucking cool. HD NMH. Think about it. HD NMH. Hhnnnngggg.
I ready need to dust up my Wii and replay Mario galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, NMH and play Xenoblade Chronicles.
This much is obvious. It's probably the other reason why there is no '3' on the title of this one. Having the 3 implies there was a 2.
Smashed
Smash
Smash 5
People have been ignoring clear words such as "plays like the cult classic series" so I highly doubt we've seen the last of it..

The fact that they emphasize it in this press release already makes it pretty obvious it wasn't clear before at all.
Speculate away!
I can't see the images.Speculate away!
I can't see the images.
Hm? They're showing up on my end. Anyone else having trouble?
If Travis and Shovel Night aren't smash characters, I swear...

An Undertale cross-over would be pretty sick. It would be the only level which you can complete non-lethally.
*raises hand*
I can't!Speculate away!
