No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle is an action video game currently in development for the Wii video game system. It is being directed by Goichi Suda, developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and published by Marvelous Interactive Inc., and has a tentative release date of January or February 2010 in Japan.[1] Releases of the game in other regions have yet to be determined, although with No More Heroes' positive reception in North America, and Martin Defries, manager of Rising Star Games who were responsible for publishing No More Heroes in Europe, raving about the sales of the first game,[2] it is unlikely that Desperate Struggle will be published exclusively in Japan.

Desperate Struggle was announced on October 8, 2008, where a teaser trailer for the game was shown at the Tokyo Game Show in Chiba, Japan. This trailer provides little insight to the premise of the game, other than that the player will once again take control of Travis Touchdown, the protagonist from the first game. Following No More Heroes' suit of pitting Travis against unique adversaries, the trailer sees Travis preparing to battle a woman fitted with a six-limbed jet pack. Also, similar to the first game's numerous references to popular culture, in the trailer Travis says the Terminator catch phrase "I will be back" before initiating a sequence with music similar to that of the Terminator series' scores.

Plans for a No More Heroes sequel were first revealed in a March 15, 2008 interview with Computer and Video Games, where Suda51 revealed he would be interested in producing No More Heroes 2 for the Wii.[3]
