IGN writes: "Ubisoft and Grasshopper's latest Wii offering, No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, was one of 2010's most anticipated games for the Nintendo Wii in the IGN offices. Editors were chomping at the bit to get their hands on a copy of the sequel, and now that it's been released and fully reviewed, a variety of folks in the editorial pool have put some time in to check out this ambitious (and super over-the-top mature) third-party Wii game."
Half-Glass Gaming: "Travis Touchdown is awesome, and he’s a huge reason No More Heroes is so great. That said, series creator and director Suda51 said he would be open to making a spinoff starring fan-favorite Shinobu. And though the series’ fate isn’t entirely up to Suda [as he doesn't own the IP], a sans-Travis entry could definitely work."
NMH seems to revolve around Travis like DMC revolves around Dante, GoW revolves around Kratos, Ninja Gaiden revolves around Ryu, and Bayonetta revolves around well…
It wouldn’t feel right to have these kind of action games to not have their main character in the lead role or not present at all
If PC is your only platform for No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, don't pass it up; if you have a Wii or a Switch, grab it there.
Following a port to the Nintendo Switch in 2020, SUDA51’s cult hack-and-slash games receive a surprising but welcome PC release.
"The fact that I didn't understand what the heck was going on had nothing to do with me not playing the original."
Actually, yes. Yes, it did. Revenge as the central plot point only makes sense if you know what happened in the first game and why it's coming back to bite the anti-hero in the ass. Moving on...

"I just wish it was on another system like the 360 or PS3. Because cry as we do that the Wii needs more mature games, Wii owners just don't purchase them. Prove me wrong."
You were already proven wrong. Enough Wii owners purchased NMH that a sequel was greenlit.
NMH is Suda's best-selling home console game. Aren't you people gaming journalists?
was this some kind of joke
