Suda 51 has revealed that Grasshopper are working on a sequel to Travis Touchdown’s first Wii outing, in No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle.
The team has high hopes for the suave chap-turned-assassin, Travis, and there will be a lot of focus on revenge, serious fighting and improved swordplay that made the original a favourite amongst action fans.
Eurogamer" rel="external" class='fmlink'>http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=256788]Eurogamer[/url] report that unlike the original game, Europeans will be able to bask in the gory glory of Suda 51’s vivid imagination, but alternatively purchase a toned down version if needed.
We won’t be able to make the same game for all territories. For Europe, we’re going to release two versions. One extreme version and one with less violence.With No More Heroes 2 we want to please the fans too. I want the European users to be able to experience the extreme version. When I first had the concept (for NMH), I had both the bloody version and the milder version in mind. So when I worked on the US version, it wasn’t a problem for me to make, but when I made the Japanese version, I needed to rethink it a little bit. But I did both at the same time.
According to Marvelous release dates, the game will come around sometime in 2010. Western fans can get a slice of the action with Rising Star Games confirmed as European publisher and XSeed/Marvelous working their magic in the US.
