– The town gate, where you choose a server based on what level of experience you are and what it is you want to do (for example, recruit people for a quest). The gate’s also home to Loklak’s information desk, helpfully telling you about special shop sales and special limited-time events.
– The main square, where you trade items, buy tools/materials, and combine purchased or found materials together to make new things. There’s also an “interior workshop,” an outdoor stand that creates furniture for your guest house (more on that below) if you bring the owner the right items.
– The tavern, where you pick up quests and eat food to power up your hunter before hitting the road. The bar’s also home to the town colosseum, where tournaments are occasionally held.
– The lodging row, where the guest houses are. The size of your guest house depends entirely on your hunter’s rank; the better you get, the more luxurious it becomes. You can also invite friends to your place to hang out if you like.
– The workshop, where you buy and upgrade/modify your weapons.

No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle may very well be the last game in the franchise to be developed for Wii. The latest edition of EDGE features an interview with Goichi Suda, who is the director of the game. In the past, Suda 51 has expressed interest in bringing the series to other platforms, going as far as to say that, “it’d be good to have a chance to release the game on other consoles.” Now Suda has gone even farther with his words and shared with the magazine that No More Heroes will most likely be making a transition to “a new platform.”

“I think this is the last No More Heroes that is going to be developed on Wii. To expand No More Heroes to new possibilities, we need a new platform. Wii is a great platform, but we’ve done everything we can with it now.”

Publishers making the decision to port titles from the Wii to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 is often considered to be an unusual occurrence. But rumor has it that Marvelous Entertainment has announced that the company will in fact be porting a Wii title to competing platforms. A shareholders meeting took place not too long ago and this information was discussed at the event. There is a possibility that the ported game might be a recent Wii release. If that’s true, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Arc Rise Fantasia, and even Reel Fishing: Angler’s Dream are potential titles that may end up no longer being exclusive to the Wii.

Earlier this year, we posted an unconfirmed report relating to EA and Activision products. Strangely, almost all of the rumors turned out to be true. Except for one: Brutual Legend on the Wii. The game seemed to be closer to being announced for Nintendo’s system with various sources claiming it was the real deal. Today, however, speculation has bubbled claiming that, although the title was in development for Wii at one point, it has since been canceled. Allegedly, there was some concern over the game’s quality and potential technical issues. So, following a good amount of speculation, it looks as though Wii owners will have to look elsewhere for their Brutal Legend Fix.
