Suda51: Expect more bosses in Desperate Struggle than the first, around 10 2D jobs
Posted on 14 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 0 comments
In a recent interview with IGN’s Mark Bozon, game developer and creator of No More Heroes Goichi Suda revealed a few new details on the upcoming No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle, including details on the new 2D minigames that will be replacing the odd jobs in the first game.
“You’ll see around 10 2D mini-games in No More Heroes 2, and they’ll all be done in the retro 2D, 8-bit style. I thought that’d be a fun way to re-imagine them. If you want to play them though so far you need to actually go to the areas in the story mode, and I’m not sure yet if I’ll include them as any separate challenge mode. So far they’re contained only in the story mode.” – Suda51
Also in the interview he talked briefly about the new bosses in the game, including details regarding Nathan Capran.
“Well for now I have to keep it to only a few bosses. Definitely you should expect more bosses than in No More Heroes one though. At PAX we had a demo where you were fighting Nathan Capran, and what I can tell you is a little info about his origin. Originally he was created during No More Heroes, and I was thinking about him as a potential boss, but there wasn’t really room to fit him into the story, so we decided to hold off. But I still wanted to see how he’d fit into the No More Heroes world, so once the sequel was decided on I absolutely wanted to get him into the game. That’s how we got the boss everyone saw at PAX, and unfortunately I’ll have to hold off on other talks at this time.” – Suda51

Every follower of the video game industry knows that Wii Play was one of the highest selling games of all time in terms of its first year sales, but how high is that relative to the rest of the industry? Apparently pretty high, as the game has been featured in the Scholastic Book of World Records for best selling video game. Just another title to add to the Wii’s every growing list of records…

Nintendo Animal Crossing DLC – Pile of leaves!
Posted on 14 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
So far, Animal Crossing: City Folk owners have been treated to bit of free DLC, ranging from a Pikmin hat to a DS couch, but the most recent might take the cake for most… nonchalant? A pile of leaves was announced to be the DLC for fall in City Folk. While it may fit the season, the actual content is simply a pile of leaves that sits in your house, not really doing much (or looking good.)
Make sure you have WiiConnect24 powered on from September 25th to October 9th if you want the “gift”.

Marvelous: We didn’t have the money to attend TGS this year

“Unfortunately, like many other publishers, we didn’t have a booth at the TGS this year. As you know the market is tough at the moment and Marvelous decided to save the money for other investments.” – Tami Otto, Marvelous
This is really too bad to hear. I’m sure many people that attended TGS would have loved to see Marvelous at the event, though, investing their money elsewhere (perhaps making more quality titles?) certainly isn’t a poor choice.
