No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle

Still no word on the European release, but some new previews and trailers ahead of the US release two weeks from today:

First off, the overworld map has seen a complete overhaul. Both Suda and Ubisoft have alluded to free-roaming areas in the game (much like the original No More Heroes), but for the core experience it's all about navigating the map in a simple menu-based system. Once Travis leaves the No More Heroes hotel (something that took me 54 minutes exactly to do; but more on that later) the screen instantly zooms up into a bird's eye view of the entire area, throwing a grey filter over all the buildings and assigning a color code to all missions, revenge quests, and jobs. A quick tap of any specific choice on the left side of the screen zooms you back in, does a quick seamless load, and then you're right into the action.

No clunky bike driving (though spinning 360's was fun), no long treks back and forth to restart missions… no fat whatsoever.

Remember your trusty dusty TV? This time around it comes fully equipped with a free arcade game, titled BJ5. As you'd expect, the BJ5 are five cute girls that don't mind flashing the occasional panty shot and strip nude when transforming into a quintet of superhero maidens. Well, they've got their own arcade game, and it's surprisingly deep, allowing you to select any of the five girls, each with their own power and speed stats. The arcade game itself even has its own mini-boss and boss levels, and a local leaderboard to save your high scores. Once you complete it, taking the top spot on the leaderboard, you unlock a video for the BJ5, and it alone is nearly worth the price of admission into Desperate Struggle.

strawberry floating hell, I need this now! :wub:

Kitten Party :lol:

Amazing.

Out in the US next Tuesday, anyone else importing?

Maybe I should. I imagine the European release is a few months away.

They've still not announced one :fp:

By buying Fragile Dreams you are just encouraging them.

It has to be Q2. Rising Star announced their Q1 line-up before Christmas.

Edit: strawberry floating hell, they announced their Q1 2010 line-up back in October.

I bet they won't do the "release a version with and without blood" thing either, like Suda51 said they would.

Let the Yanks enjoy their blood-bath. Us enlightened European types are the only ones that can truly appreciate Suda's commentary on the nature of censorship and videogame violence.

The cut scenes are ten times better with blood :roll:

I imported the US version of the firsd one. Some of the cutscenes, especially the ones after boss fights, just looked odd and made no sense without the blood.

I hope we get the blood this time. I'm tempted to get the 360 version of 1 if that includes blood when it makes it here. I liked the black dust stuff but it didn't work in the cinematics.

I think they look odd and make no sense with blood.

Space Catholics I like to think of them as.

More evil than the guys who use the power of their mind to CRUSH YOUR THROAT as part of a hissy fit?

I just thought that my post prior to that one sounded quite a bit like Anakin's whining in Revenge of the Sith.

I ain't trollin' da Jedi.
