The latest
Famitsu issue, in addition to some stuff about
Metal Gear or whatever,
also features a blowout article about the latest game from Kojima's friend and colleague Suda 51,
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle. The article shows that the UAA assassin's organization and its liaison, Sylvia Christel, have returned, along with (necessarily) new assassins like the #50-ranked Nathan Copeland.
Desperate Struggle occurs three years after the events of the first game, and Travis Touchdown has been called back into action after Bishop from Beef Head Video is captured by gang members, according to
IGN's translation.
To take on these new assassins, Travis Touchdown has developed new techniques -- like
dual wielding beam sabers, as seen in the scans. It may just be because the scans are tiny, or because we're
insane for
No More Heroes, but it seems the graphics have been refined for this adventure. We'll find out on the 30th when a new trailer debuts!

I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel, at the same time wondering how Travis will recharge his dual wielded swords.

OH MY GOD! New trailer on the 30th?! Wow, that's major news to me! Where have I been all this time? Living under a rock or something?

the struggle is that Travis is wrestling with the Idea of his parents divorce, whether it was his fault or not.

The real struggle is figuring out how he can best his record of shouting "FUCK" in the first game, in the sequel. Which makes this game all the more interesting.

Wait, there were scans and you guys didn't post them? 8[

I kinda wish the scans were a bit higher resolution... damned VGA camera phones

Not like your phone is any better, JB.
JBGUY2K @ May 27th 2009 11:32PM
PFFFT, my phone takes 1MP photos nicely! At 2MP, it sucks ass, though...
S. Tiger @ May 28th 2009 9:56AM
HAha! 1.3MP here!

And for good measure, the fast-forwarded scene near the end of the game slowed down

So is Travis trying to take down the UAA now?
Shiningmonk_e @ May 27th 2009 9:42PM
I see a double bladed katana in the last pic!
Thanatos @ May 27th 2009 6:24PM
Hell yes new info and a new trailer! HELL YES! I am so pumped for this game. Cant wait for some quality scans of the Famitsu issue.
Mr Khan @ May 27th 2009 7:06PM
Awesome. Though it'll be interesting as to how they deal with that in the story, since the UAA was supposed to all be a sham in the original
Santos L. Halper @ May 27th 2009 7:35PM
Awesome! I can't wait until the 30th!
Also, what was the METAL GEAR news about? In the post, it seemed like they were (as usual) jokingly downplaying some kind of big announcement.
headkicker @ May 27th 2009 7:45PM
@Santos Famitsu also has info on new Metal Gear (by the great screen name)
Santos L. Halper @ May 27th 2009 11:10PM
Thanks. You're the first person to mention something about my screen name. Great Simpsons joke but kind of obscure, I guess.
