I'd say it does a pretty good job of being funny.

Game looks pretty cool. I've got the first one on its way to me in the mail, I guess if I enjoy it I'll grab this one.

I get the feeling that if this wasn't on the Wii, no one would be paying attention to it.

The baddies sound so fucking annoying when they are getting beat on.  Other than that, the game looks on par w/ the last one.  I like that TT has a new weapon to use.

You can't help but think that this could have been something awesome if it wasn't stilted by the Wii and it's motion controls. Everything about it cracks me up but the gameplay looks utter tosh.  It's still a brilliant concept for a game however and I hope one day that Suda makes NMH3 for the 360/PS3 with some real depth and finesse to the combat ala DMC/Ninja Gaiden.

Please dont be a fanboy, please 
 
Plenty of wii games exist with as much depth as any Xbox or PS3 game, albeit with toned down graphics. Would you say that Persona 4 wasnt good because it was on the PS2 and not the PS3? 
 
I hate when people complain about the wii just because you have to move your arms to do something. When implemented rightly, Motion controls are fun.

Kinda funny how almost every critic on the planet gave shit to Bikini Zombie Slayers, but really, this is pretty much the same thing...with an open-world hub. I like it. I just wish people weren't so hypocritical about hip.

That's certainly one instinct to have, but this video doesn't show the one key point that makes this game ideal on the Wii: to charge up the "beam katana", you have to jack the wii remote up and down.
Like you were masturbating.
Which is a perfect analogy for what No More Heroes is: a masturbatory fantasy.
Straight up, I wouldn't want to play this game on any system BUT the Wii.

I've played the first No More Heroes, it was okay. But I feel like the NMH series gets a lot more attention than it would if it were a 360 or PS3 game.
 
How many games that got a 7.8 from IGN and 6 from Gameinformer get this much press?
 
EDIT: See also MadWorld, which was again an "okay" game, but received a huge amount of hype and press.

@Asurastrike: No More Heroes gets press and love for the way it apes nerd/otaku culture and stereotypes not it's superior polish and game design. You don't see anyone hopping up and down about Madworld 2 do you? I would be psyched for a game like this wether it was on 360 or PS3 (granted it may lose some of it's quirks).
 
P.S. Review scores really?

to me, by this demo seems like i'ld be entertained mostly by the bosses and the cutscenes rather than the level-slashing.

It looks the same as the original NMH. Which is (for me at least) fine really.  
 
I've always thought Suda was a bit weak at gameplay, but his off the wall plot and presentation always made it so that, regardless of the flaws, I really enjoy his games none the less.

One of the few games on the Wii that was worth playing.
Not worth buying an outdated system for though...
oh well.
They'll learn the hard way when this one sells even less than the first ones abysmal sales.
The Wii is about to drop like a stone.
Hopefully talented game makers like this will come to their senses and
develop for relevant systems.
I'll never understand why they develop for this system...
who in their right mind says... let's make an M rated game for a system
who's top games are a mini game collection, a kart racer and a weighing scale?
Oiy !

Since recharging the beam katana wasn't phallic enough in the first game, may we direct you to the top right of the screen

All style no substance.
 
Seem like the kind of game people who want to be known as a "gamer" would enjoy.
 
The rest of us will sit back and pass on the repetitive button mashing and waggle.

First one was fun, minus the overworld.  Just looks like a more refined version of the first game - which is cool with me.
