Today No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle comes out in the US for the Nintendo Wii. I'm really looking forward to playing it. Suda 51 created an amazing universe in the first game and I am very happy that we'll have another opportunity to play in it one more time. From a stylistic standpoint, there are very few games as cool as NO MORE HEROES. It's got a great sense of humor, beautiful character designs, and a very refreshing take of the West Coast. As with what our artists do on Lucha Libre, it often takes an outsider's eyes to effectively distill the beautiful qualities of an environment. Even though Suda 51 and Grasshopper Studios are in Japan, they really got the tone of the West Coast with its mix of Surf, Punk, and Urban style. And, unlike some of the wackier fashionable choices you often find in Japan videogames (*cough* Squaresoft *cough*)... Grasshoppers Studios found a nice mix between the bolder design choices of Japan, geek culture, and general fashion. To me, the No More Heroes cast of characters are some of the coolest and most refreshing designs since Kojima's Metal Gear Solid. The characters are eclectic, beautiful, and yet somehow feel like they organically belong to the same universe. It's a delicate balance that is rarely found. As a showcase of the strong design found in the first No More Heroes Game, I've chosen some of my favorite character designs from the amazing Creative Uncut resource library. I've also included a trailer to No More Heroes 2 below.
