No sorry, my last post was confusing.
Let me rephrase.
There is something really strange and otherwise cheap about the box my game shipped in, since I'm in Canada, it might be a problem with where it was printed.
I don't want to say what it is just yet, but if anyone has the same oddity as me, I'll gladly divulge.
So yeah, take the art insert out of your box, and look all over the front cover for any irregularity.

That site has no actual connection with the original Gamefan. They just used the name for their site, but there is no connection what so ever.
This is the real Gamefan coming back.
Although Halverson and maybe one other person are the only members of the old school one who will be back.

HOLY SHIT!!!
@ TehSw1tch: I'll check later, but what I can tell you for sure is that the whole packaging is shit.
That instruction book? no words to describe it. 5 pages, black and white?
It's like I bought a digitally-distributed game over Steam, the package is so terrible it's basically not there.

Clarifying his statment last year that a NMH sequel wouldn't be on the Wii, Suda told Game Informer that he wants it on Nintendo's next console.
Also, joystiq reports that the EEDAR reports it sold less than 30k in january. But it was only out for a week in january, so it didn't tank. I'd post links, but I'm on my phone.joystiq said:

I sent a PM to Jonathan Holmes (the author of the destructoid analysis) with my own opinion about a few bosses. Will post here if someone's interested.

The lack of Genki Rockets and Heavenly Star is the only negative I can say about the sequel.
Well, I just got my Wii in today, and I played through all the way through the end on sweet, an endeavor lasting about 10 hours (I wanted certain sets of clothing, so I grinded the meat cooking minigame and eeked by getting what I wanted). I played on Sweet because it was imperative that the bosses not be so difficult or frustrating for me not to see possible interpretations of the game and mechanics. I'm writing a paper on the subject over the weekend for Monday in concerns of No More Heroes and globalism, likely with ties to postmodernism.
While I have my gripes with the game (the number one of these being the lack of more enjoyable ways of making money), most of them (though ironically, not my #1 problem) can be explained within the context of the game and globalism reading. After I hand the paper in, I'll post it after a couple of days in a google document here, see what the academics among us have to say.
As a final tidbit, I find it fascinating that many of the "new blood" assassins used beam katana type weapons. They were incredibly rare among assassins in the first game, Henry being the only one I can think of...
P.S.
I don't think this game can be given the same kind of Freudian analysis as the first, though Lacan and Jung might work. Who's really big on revenge, I forget?

it reminds me of metal gear acid 2 and 2 spicy both which i love.
I think Harvey's collector card mentions that his weapons are beam katanas shaped like wands. Might be wrong, though.doomed1 said:
And I'm realizing that Dark Star's weapon is in NMH2
Otherwise, 4 NMH2 bosses are equipped with BK's, and I can find reasons to that for at least 3 of them.
Oh yeah I wanted to ask this; I play on an EUR Wii, so I can't really see the little icon/animation for NMH2 in the Disc Channel, because that channel doesn't read the game.
You know, before you launch the game, when you click on Disc Channel.
Anyone knows where I can find that? I'm curious.

Kimmy, Ryuji and Alice. Who am I missing? Do we count Skelter Helter?

I'm debating either picking this or Dante's Inferno up today. Yeah, I know DI isn't that great but i loved the demo. This has better reviews, though, and I loved the first. The only thing is I'm not sure if I'm in the mood for this right now and I'm worried it will be 20 bucks two weeks from now like the first one.

Perhaps I never noticed until recently but Travis' wrestling move that has him lift the person from the legs and toss them is magnificent. I clapped as it the best(well one) display of strength of Mr. Touchdown in-game.
Also the unlockable move quite is applause worthy(with the Rose Nasty) for usefulness and entertaining to watch in action.

need help on ending explanation, please:
so the whole booth telephone conversations thing, that takes place after the game? where does that fit into the timeline exactly?

*shrugs shoulders*
My guess? Travis cared after it was all done and wanted to know about those he killed and she knew ALOT about them. Makes more sense that its after considering the end which leads into some NMH3 nods of sorts.

If this game really did get as limited a print run as it seems, it may never hit that $20 price point. It could become a collectors item. Some stores already so out of the very few copies they had. If Ubi decided not to print another run of this game, the value could actually go up rather than down. Price only drops when a retailer has too many copies and cannot get rid of them. Right now, not enough copies are out there to need to clear. Hard to tell.

What's the frame-rate like with this game? The first one was all over the shop.
Another thing NMH2 decided to the opposite of its predecessor.doomed1 said:
Sadly I don't really mind or notice framerate issues (unless it's a fighter/racer) so I couldn't really answer. I think it chugs a little. I do remember framerate issues in one loading screen and I was thinking "Oh you know that's bad when there's framerate issues on a loading screen... :lol"Heavy's Sandvich said:
That only happened once and when looking at gameplay vids it's always in the same point in the game.
I finished the game.

MGS level is the worst of both games.
Cloe Walsh or something... killed her in 2 minutes and forgot about her after 3.
Million Gunman was not that bad!

I had to restart the game on sweet 'cause
was giving me a hard time on mild. I'm lame, alright.
So, right now I'm ranked 5th.
I may be one of the few, but I liked Shinobu's levels. I didn't mind the platforming at all and I liked how you could make combos in the air. I found it fun. I also liked the battle against
I also made Jeane skinny again. I prefered her chubby though, she looked adorable with the extra weight and for some reason, I found her mini games amusing.
I'll try to finish the game tomorrow because I'm dying to read all the spoilers and the full script!

It's kind of lame how you didn't get to fight some other assassins as Henry. I thought it was cool to play as him in his only fight.
I don't think Cloe Walsh was that awful. She freaked me out a little, I dunno. Now, Dr. Shake was kind of crappy.
