Suda wants to surpass Ubisoft’s Petz games in No More Heroes 2

No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle Executive Director Suda 51 is poking a bit of fun at Ubisoft. Ubisoft is notorious for releasing Petz titles on the Nintendo DS. Needless to say, the series has been greatly disparaged by video game enthusiasts. In No More Heroes 2, Suda 51 has explained that Travis’ cat will return and there may be a mini-game addded. He said that he wishes to make that lone mini-game “even better” than entries in the Petz franchise.
“Jeane, Travis’ cat from No More Heroes 1 will be back but maybe with a little more weight. We’re thinking about making a mini-game where you put her on a diet. We want it to be even better than Ubisoft’s Petz titles.”
