Rising Star Games confirms No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle for Autumn release<\/strong><\/p>\n

Travis Touchdown is back for more in the highly charged second instalment, fuelled by bloodthirsty revenge<\/em><\/p>\n

Friday 12th<\/sup> February 2010:<\/strong> Leading videogames publisher Rising Star Games today confirms that No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, exclusively for the Nintendo Wii, is on track to be released in Australia and New Zealand at the end of April 2010.<\/p>\n

Soaked in slick graphic novel-style visuals, No More Heroes 2 is clever, mature and further validates the series\u2019 reputation as one of the most original and unique games on the Wii. The story follows Travis Touchdown who now finds himself the 51st<\/sup> ranked assassin \u2013 placed at the bottom of the UAA (United Assassins Association) table. He has to fight his way back to the top, while seeking revenge for the murder of his best friend.<\/p>\n

Legendary developer Suda 51 is calling No More Heroes 2 the game he\u2019s always wanted to make \u2013 playing on the original\u2019s strengths \u2013 complete with smart storyline, refined combat (utilising two beam katanas) and characters, and red blood. Lots and lots of red blood.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first No More Heroes game fast built a reputation as a benchmark in the Wii\u2019s capabilities, and was brave and bold enough to stand out from the crowd as an antidote to the glut of party games on the market for the console,\u201d says Martin Defries, managing director, Rising Star Games. \u201cIt was one of the few games on the Wii that truly deserved the undivided attention of gamers across all formats and No More Heroes 2 promises to take this to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Accolades for a new IP on the Wii were impressive too. NGamer scored the original No More Heroes 94%, Edge awarded it 9\/10, GamesMaster and GamesTM scored it 90%, and Official Nintendo Magazine gave it 88%.<\/p>\n

In the US, No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle continues to live up to the series\u2019 expectations.<\/p>\n
