“Yes I am very pleased with the critical reception of No More Heroes 2 so far. We obviously had experience already to create the game for the Wii, so by the time we developed the sequel we knew our way around the system very well.” – Suda51

Overall, the review scores of No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle were positive. Many of the complaints from the first title were, fortunately, addressed in the sequel. We’ll probably be waiting awhile for another No More Heroes title, though. Suda51 has indicated that he would like to make a third title for the Wii’s successor.

These details come from the latest Game Informer, who interviewed Takashi Iizuka…

– “Fans will be very pleased with the cast in episode 2.”
– Episode 1 is a prologue
– There will be moves such as Spin Dash, Rolling Attack, homing attack, unknown move
– Izuka on homing attack: “I wanted the user to enjoy an easy-to-play feeling by the attack sequence that this [homing attack] allows, and find the fun routes in the air.”
– Classic special stages returning
– Classic gameplay, speed
– No 3D, CG pre-redner
– Gamers who beat the game with all emeralds will see a cliffhanger for episode 2, otherwise they’ll see a “try again” ending
– Izuka: “If Sonic 4’s return to form is the Sonic experience you have been waiting 16 years for, then we strongly encourage you to try this.”

The following teaser comes from the latest issue of Nintendo Power…

“Next issue is going to be a big one, with brand-new looks at some of the year’s hottest games – including a snazzy new world reveal for Wii! Miss out on this one, and you might as well turn in your Nintendo Fan membership card.”

Unlike most magazine teases, at least we actually know that the game will be for Wii. Nintendo Power definitely delivered a big exclusive this month with Scribblenauts 2. Let’s hope that their next announcement will be equally exciting.

Elite two-way forward set to turn up the intensity and excitement on the virtual ice
Windsor, UK – March 9, 2010 – 2K Sports announced today they have signed Ryan Kesler, star two-way forward for the Vancouver Canucks® and 2010 Winter Olympics hero, to be featured as the cover athlete and spokesman for their upcoming video game, NHL® 2K11. Kesler, a vital member of the upstart 2010 U.S. Olympic hockey team, captured the collective attention of sports fans around the world with his gritty and awe-inspiring performance, and will now look to bring the same electrifying play to NHL 2K11.

“Having the opportunity to participate in the Olympics and play in front of my home crowd was one of the best experiences of my life. To now be chosen as the next cover athlete for NHL 2K11 is another dream come true,” said Kesler, alternate captain for the Vancouver Canucks. “It was awesome to work with 2K Sports last year on the NHL 2K10 commercial shoot and the outdoor motion capture session on the Las Vegas strip was incredible to be a part of. I’m looking forward to having just as much fun again, and helping them make another great hockey game this year.”

“I would like to see any future iteration of the DS provide stronger online functionality. Obviously Monster Hunter games rely very heavily on network gaming and if there is anything that could be improved I would have the online side high on my list.” – Monster Hunter Tri producer Ryozo Tsujimoto

It would be interesting if a Monster Hunter game was released on the successor to the DS. However, Tsujimoto wouldn’t say if there would be a MH title on the system even if it could do more with online.

Scribblenauts 2

– Announced in Nintendo Power
– Fixing a lot of the problems with the first game
– Improved controls
– Max won’t knock things over anymore, direct control over him
– D-pad controls
– Craig’s biggest problem with Scribblenauts is that there were elaborate level designs, but players can do what they want and not really know what the developers had in mind
– Adjectives have been added
– Fall release
– It looks like you can double up on adjectives
– Can make things bigger and smaller
– Craig says the first game worked well as a short demo
– Sold well enough to warrant a sequel, not something a lot of DS games get a chance at
