New details on No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle
Details are flowing in about No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, which you will buy when it hits in 2010. The latest information comes via Nintendo Power and gives some background information to set up NMH2. There are some slight spoilers, mostly if you’ve never beat the first one, so be warned.
Teen assassin Shinobu from the first No More Heroes will be making a return in the sequel, but you’ll actually be able to play as her. She’s faster and unlike Travis, Shinobu can jump. According to the article, you can’t swap back and forth between characters at will, so it’s going to be a triggered event.
Suda says he’s trying to have around 50 boss battles this time around, which is a significant jump from the original. Really, 50 is just a huge number period. And Travis’ reason for striking out at the United Assassins Association this time? To get revenge for the death of his best friend, Bishop.
