I'm in Montreal, and I've been told by two stores it will be today.

You know, I didn't expect much buzz around this game, with Mass Effect 2 on the same day and everything, but damn. Suda deserves better! For the record, I'm choosing to play/buy NMH2 before I play ME2 ;-)
This is easily escalating to the very top of my favorite action games of all time. I love every second. I just got to rank 25 in just under the four hour mark but I'm addicted to the retro games. Lay the pipe is great. Man of Meat is meh as is the tile game (i was hoping it was going to be tetris honestly).
Even though the overworld of the first game was a bit bland i kinda miss it.

Fuck yeah. I picked up my copy at Best Buy. I'm glad I did the in-store pickup, because it didn't look like they had any other copies, unless they hadn't put them out yet.
Edit: Damn, the manual is pathetic.

The two games you don't like are probably the easiest/quickest to make money. If you are good at the tile game you can consistently get 10,000 bucks each round. I've broken 40,000 pretty consistently on the Man the Meat game as well.

Amazon says mine is getting ready to ship. Delivery estimate is Feb 1st (2-day shipping), but Amazon always delivers sooner than their estimated date. I expect to have it Friday.

For some reason, I'm not really clicking with the Stamina mini-game. It says to alternately press B and Z to run, but how fast are you supposed to do it? Plus Travis is facing in the direction of the treadmill so I always end up falling off after a couple seconds. What am I missing?
BTW, totally miss the original gym music and minigames from NMH1. =(

Well, I've contacted Namco Bandai Partners yesterday (the french text) and it seems that they don't have any information about the PAL release of the game... Yeah, that really sucks...

Use the stick to change the direction Travis is running. The rest is easy.

You can press left and right to turn and face the other way :lol
And about the coconut minigame, wow, 80000, thats awesome, I sucked so bad at that game that I never really bothered with it. I figured it would be too much of a hassle and too annoying to do it repeatedly.

Fucking awesome guys. Thanks.
And yes, this game rocks my face. My wife started shaking her head when I started playing the BJ5 video (not to mention the gratuitous amount of titty shots). :lol

really? I guess it just clicked with me then...Because I suck at most of the others, but every time i've played (probably 7 or 8), i've completed all the stages (there are 4), and take home around 80K.
The only tip I can really think to give is that I hold down Z all the time, to run faster. You can tell which way the coconut will fall based on what side of the tree it is, and if the coconut doesn't fall right away when you kick the tree it means it's going to fall straight down. (When there are like 4 coconuts in a tree, and all of them fall straight down, you can tell which order they will fall based on what order they spin in).
I tried 3 times and couldn't even beat the first level of the tile game!

I finished up the first one again last night. I'm really glad I replayed through it before getting this one, I didn't remember much of the plot at all. It's so awesome how they throw in so many random unnecessary plot twists at the end of the game :lol
And NMH was a game that progressively got better and better and ended on a very high note. So many times nowadays it seems like great games fizzle on the last boss fight or the ending moments, but not so here. Hopefully the sequel follows in that regard
I have class from 2-9 today ( :/ ) but after that its straight to walmart to pick this bad boy up. Too bad I then have to get up at 7 for work in the morning
Still though, can't wait! Happy dismembering, GAFfers!

I hate having a backlog....
In no good conscience can I go out and pick up more games when I haven't finished the ones in my stack, even when they're guaranteed fun like NMH2 will be. That and I still haven't gotten the true ending in NMH.

In case anyone was wondering, using the Classic Controller fucking sucks.

Yeah, if you can do that well on the coconut game, more power to ya! I end up just hitting enemies and getting hit on the head by coconuts and getting annoyed. At least its not as bad as that damn road rash game. Oh did the fourth stage of that piss me off.
As for the tile game, its actually only one level long, and your score is based on time. Which is why 10,000 is a pretty good score to get. It also repeats patterns very often so you start to catch on pretty quick and are able to do those puzzles even faster.
It took me about 20-30 minutes to get through the bonus fight for the true ending in NMH... I hear it can be done in much less time, but its worth it to get the true ending.Kilgore Trout said:
I, too, have a backlog, but I think I'm making an exception for this. I'm not planning on buying it right away, but if I can find it to rent this weekend, I might do that.

Yeah, does it suck because it controls badly? Or is it just not as fun without the Wiimote?

Without watching I'll summarize:
PRO: "Improved graphics, fantastic sense of humor and style! Action is brutal and rewarding, tons to collect. Awesome."
CON: "It's on the Wii. Better to wait for the HD port which is confirmed."

You jam the analog stick in the indicated direction. It's flat and unsatisfying compared to a swing, and any and all excitement I may have had about the HD port has been annihilated after 5 minutes with a traditional pad.
I kinda feel bad for those waiting for the 360/PS3 version to see what all the hype is about because, honestly, it's gonna suck and give them the wrong impression.
Mayor Haggar said:
Wow. Makes me wonder if they even tried the Classic Controller.

Cool. I hope they're hard.
As for G4, I base that gut reaction off their review for Tatsunoko.

I had zero issue with later boss fights, they were fun as hell. I found the very first ranked fight to be the cheapest.
Too many projectiles knocking you over left you wide open.

Ha, just be careful because if you don't have an early save before the second to last big battle and you skip the big scene, your screwed and have to start all over from the beginning of the game.
