No More Heroes was an truly amazing game. The games developer, Suda51, did such an awesome bring Travis Touchdown to life on the Wii, and the fact that the game was one of the first mature titles for the console made those lucky enough to play the game craving more. The game was received very well, the problem was that it didn’t fly off the shelves. It was certainly not a mainstream game, and releasing the month after Christmas, and two months after Mario Galaxy definitely didn’t help matters. Still, Suda knew that Wii owners needed more Travis Touchdown and they’ve promised us one more game. Actually, one final game is what we’re going to get. That’s right, Suda has now come out and said that No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle will be Travis’ last foray on the Wii. You can’t blame the franchise for wanting to move on as I’m sure the weak sales hurt egos as well as pockets. I’ve read that Suda has said things about bringing the game to the “HD-Consoles”, I just hope those guys will love Travis the way we do.

“I think ['No More Heroes 2'] is the last ‘NMH’ that is going to be developed on the Wii. To expand ‘NMH’ to new possibilities, we need a new platform. Wii is a great platform, but we’ve done everything we can with it now.”

This is sad news for sure but, I’m almost positive that NMH2 is going to be a classic. Travis Touchdown is one of the coolest characters in gaming, and his home will always be the Wii. You can bet on the fact that Suda knows this as he has recently said he hopes Travis will be in the next Smash Brothers!!

I love him (Travis), and I want him to be a huge star. That’s why I’m working very hard to make this game as interesting as possible. Maybe in the future, we can see him fighting alongside Link in the next Smash Bros. [laughs] That would be great.

Desperate Struggle is still a long way off with a release date of Q1 2010, but I can’t wait for it. I know you’ve seen the trailer before but, it’s not like it’s going to kill you to watch it again, so I’m gonna post it below for you to enjoy. Again.
