If you’re not salivating overNo More Heroes 2: Desperate Strugglethen we can no longer be friends. I may be alittle obsessedwithGrasshopper Manufacture and Suda51’s games, butNMH 2is looking exciting even if you don’t want to pick apart every aspect of Suda’s games.1Upgot some more time with Grasshopper and decided to break down some exciting new facts about the game for everyone. They did it in bullet points, but I like paragraphs so I’m rolling old school.
Most of the reveals were actually already known, we just get to know more. We knew that we’d be able to play as other characters (Henry and Shinobu), but we won’t get to choose to play as them. In parts of the story we’ll be put in their shoes for a few levels. Each character has their own unique moves and abilities, so they aren’t just skin clones either. More important is the confirmation of control styles. The game had been rumored to use Wii Motion Plus, but that seems to have been kicked out the door. Classic Controller gameplay is still in, however, and can be used for the entire game, not just the 2D retro game sections. The devs said they included this bit because of the large number of people in Japan who playedMonster Hunter Triwith the classic controller instead of the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. I’m not sure howMonster Hunter Triworked out, but I think that you’d be losing a lot if you went throughNMHwithout motion controls.
Finally, they have confirmed thatNMH 2looks a whole lot better than the original game. Character models are better and so is the over all world. Hopefully, this isn’t Suda diverging from his artistic message in order to make a game that looks better. I seriously doubt it, and I’m also guessing that better graphics make most people more excited not less.
Here are some fun random facts they also learned:
Weren’t those both fun and random? Yea, I’m good at using adjectives.
