No More Heroes 2 will still have humor, an improved open world
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
“I think it’s time for No More Heroes to become serious. But it’s going to have humour, don’t worry. It won’t be too serious…I wasn’t that satisfied with the open world. I wanted to make a lot more stuff, more detail. So this time in No More Heroes 2, I want to take my revenge. And actually, the theme of No More Heroes 2 is revenge, so…” – Suda51
It’s good to know that No More Heroes 2 will take a more serious approach, though Suda seems to understand that there needs to be a balance between being serious and having some humor in the game. The first No More Heroes title was hilarious, so let’s hope that the sequel will provide a similar quality of humor.
Wii Music sells 50,000 units on first day in Japan
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 4 Comments
The big question when Wii Music was announced was whether or not the title would see the same success that Wii Sports and Wii Fit have experienced. After all, Wii Music follows in the steps of the other two titles in that they’re simple and casual fun that anyone can pick up and play. First day sales of Wii Music from Japan are in, and the numbers should be fairly encouraging for Nintendo. According to Enterbrain, the game has sold about 50,000 copies in its first day. That’s not too shabby at all, and there’s a chance that Wii Music may top the charts in Japan next week.

I realize that the quality of the images is kind of crappy, but I’ll try and touch it up later. Unfortunately, the images themselves are very dark…Even when you see them in the Nintendo Power magazine.
