Well, this is pretty darn cool! Apparently, Rising Star Games, upset that they were not able to bring a Spanish translation of Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon to their fans, has teamed up with 50 avid fans of the game to produce a translation of the game. The translation will be available via Homebrew for free as soon as it’s released, and should offer a pretty solid, cost-effective way for Spanish-speakers to play the games!
“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.

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 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.
Nicalis isn’t saying anything about the screenshot just yet. I suppose they want fans to guess for awhile!
Thanks to Robert for the news tip!
