    Open in new window or save as if the Giant Bomb resizer takes over.

    Hot damn! Awesome bosses. Awesome weapons. Fucking dual wielding.

    Update:
    Some information from NeoGAF members who translated the article (so, taken with a grain of salt) states the following:

    - Story: it's been 3 years since Travis became the Number One assassin. Santa Destroy is now at the hand of big companies which, thanks to massive investments, transformed the small town into a big city. And not only is it the time Sylvia Christel chooses to suddenly reappear into Travis' life as an organisation agent, but his friend Bishop also ends up being involved in a pinch with some bad guys. Just the time for Travis to get back to the grind and face some new battles...
    - Wrestling moves are back, and along with some fresh dual-wielding swords action, they promise a more varied battle system.
    - New characters introduced : an afro dude, Nathan Copeland, ranked 50th on the UAA ranking, and which is apparently a Travis fan ; as well as a mysterious beam-weapon wielding school girl, which seems to be related to Travis somehow.
    - Famitsu's website should have a trailer on May 30th, and they'll also start taking applications for a T-shirt design contest.

    And 1UP says Travis has somehow fallen back to being number (Suda?) 51. FIFTY-FUCKING-ONE. I love this.

    It looks ******* awesome!. I love the insane character design of Nathan Copeland. It looks like his ghetto blaster is a weapon of some sort :D. The graphics while retaining the original style also seem more detailed this time around. That's definitely a good thing imo. At times the original looked a touch too minimal in places, even if it was cool.

    Jeany had better remain the eternal kitten, I will be heart broken if she's all grown up now.






    I am getting a copy today. I got a issue when the first game was revealed.

    I look forward to a rematch with Shinobu. It has to happen! But I'll hopefully not kill her, I like her. She should be playable afterwards :D

    Yeah, perhaps. I didn't really notice it anyway though. I just want to hear some more ridiculous monologues from Travis and the other villains/assassins, as that was my favourite part in the original.

    I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed that Europe will receive the uncensored version as well, so if your country only gets the censored edition (say, Germany or something) you can always import from a neighbouring nation without compatibility issues.

    But yes, I have the censored version of the original and it was a blast to experience anyway. Looking on the tube the differences are quite striking but it was still a great game as far as I'm concerned.

    Since he is ranked 51 is there going to be 51 bosses?  That would be awesome.

    At the very least it hints at far more bosses than the original game. Maybe there's some crazy shit like fighting more than one boss at once, or others dying out of nowhere like one of the NMH bosses did, but yeah, the game should be much larger :D~~~

    Fucking sweet...50 people to kill, that should fix the biggest problem I had with the first, that it was too damn short. Also I hope they make this bigger city more interactive.

    This sounds like a good excuse to finish the first one. I really enjoyed it but it was a drag having to do silly side missions before I was given permission to play "the real game", even the real missions were stupely fun at one point and less at others. But I loved the crazyness of it :)
