"Rising Star Games has announced the appointment of a new columnist at their Hoshi Club – the online destination for videogame fans to find out the latest details on Rising Star Games’ videogame releases and insight into Japanese culture. Following the signing of ex-Edge deputy editor, David McCarthy, Alex Sim-Wise shall have her own personal space to write about videogames, Japanese culture and pretty much anything she wishes."
"Rising Star Games have become synonymous with those quintessentially Japanese videogame treats that otherwise may have never made their way to European shores. The sweet, inviting world of the classic Harvest Moon series and pleasing guilt involved in commanding your loyal (or perhaps, not so loyal) followers in Little King’s Story is regularly contrasted with the dark, grimy labyrinths of JU-ON: The Grudge or the under-appreciated Nintendo DS First-Person Shooter, Moon."
1Up has a Weeklong exclusive for Grasshopper/Ubisoft's upcoming Wii over-the-top action title No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, kicking it off with a list of 7 things that you [probably] don't know about Suda's Wii title.
Here's a quick rundown of the list, but to get the full explanation/new information, you'll need to check out the source.
1. Shinobu is playable character #2
2. Something is up between Shinobu and Travis
3. Henry is playable character #3
4. It looks a lot better t...
According to series creator, Suda 51, the next No More Heroes game will not be on the Wii. Despite the Wii's hardware sales and customer base, Suda feels that he needs to expand his audience and reach out to other consoles in order to make his ambitions of NMH becoming into a bigger franchise come true. So even if NMH 2 sells decently, he seems to have made up his mind about not keeping the series on the Wii. Given Suda's thoughts on Natal, it seems quite obvious where the series could end up.
Suda fans rejoice, as we get more information by way of the August issue of Nintendo Power, as the magazine has confirmed in talking with Suda that the 8th Rank UAA assassin from No More Heroes, Shinobu will be playable in the game's sequel. She will be faster than Travis, and will have the ability to jump.
Scans from the article also confirmed that Travis will indeed start at Rank 51 in this new UAA, and will have to fight through fifty bosses/assassins. Suda has also mentioned that the...
"No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle is the eagerly awaited sequel to last year’s Wii exclusive release from Grasshopper Manufacture and Rising Star Games, No More Heroes. Filling the shoes of Travis Touchdown, a lowly nerd with a penchant for all things anime, Sci-Fi and videogame based, the player is dropped straight into the characteristically demented Santa Destroy, in an effort to climb the ladder all the way to the top spot in the United Assassins Association’s league of hit men."
"No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle has been confirmed to be at E3. In the latest IGN podcast, Matt Casamassina has confirmed that the sequel to No More Heroes will be at E3, this in response to a reader’s question. We couldn’t be more excited as this game was a very impressive, yet under-rated game. If you haven’t played the first, go out and buy it immediately. It was seen going for under $30 at many retailers."
""This has been a standout year for No More Heroes and Rising Star Games," said Martin Defries, Rising Star Games managing director. "We've had fantastic critical reception for NMH from the start; to be nominated in so many categories and place in the top ten in many polls proves how well a third party title can do on the Wii if you get it right. We're all really excited to see the next step up in NMH2!""
"Electronic Theatre has today received clarification of the finer details of the release of No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle. Firstly, Europe is the only territory which shall receive two separate retail products, and so it is Rising Star Games responsibility to relay such details. And that they did..."
