Wii game?

Was it officially announced as being a Wii game? The "Desperate Struggle" subtitle suggests it could also be for DS. HisshouBuraiKen (talk) 13:41, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here(scroll down to the 3rd game) it states it is a Wii game. Rhonin the wizard (talk) 13:59, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In March Suda 51 said that if he were given the okay on a No More Heroes sequel, it would be a Wii title like the first game. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 15:46, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Travis takes over Santa Destroy?

The trailer shows the Santa Destroy flag with the face of Travis in the center while the buildings have large posters of Travis on their walls. He also sports a new 'baron' type jacket rather than his old sporty one. Also, the Desperate Struggle title art of Travis' face (used on the Wiki article) is stylized similar to that of the famous Che Guevara image. These seems like they would be worth mentioning in the trailer summary since they could be important hints to the plot. It just seems strange to omit them from the article.

To me, it looks like Travis has reached some position of power (ruler of Santa Destroy) after taking down the top Assassins, or maybe, after taking down the Assassins he decides to set his sites higher and take over Santa destroy. Either way, if the trailer is anything to go on, it looks like Travis is making a grab for power. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.71.81.54 (talk) 21:29, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We're not looking for speculative hints to the plot, Wikipedia articles rely on fact. The articles that don't are improperly written, and so far this article is looking good. Travis' head on a building in a trailer doesn't mean anything, and speculating that Travis decides to take over Santa Destroy for this reason alone is absurd. Yes, his likeness appearing on a building could possibly have to do with how the character has grown from an amateur fighting because of his sexual craving for a woman who put him in that position in the first place, to an assassin who sets out for revenge, but it could simply be used in the trailer to reflect this growth, and may not need to be taken so literally. There is nothing strange about omitting speculation from a Wikipedia article, when it comes from a trailer of a video game not scheduled for release until at least 15 months later, that in addition has absolutely no offered explanation. It's not notable. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 22:00, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

there's nothing speculative about it. I'm simply describing the setting the trailer takes place in, which is Santa Destroy decorated with posters of Travis. Mentioning that the video shows the SD flag with a picture of Travis on it and buildings with posters of Travis isn't speculative.

The second paragraph I posted was only my theory, but in the first I was simply describing the setting the trailer takes place in. It's not unusual for creators to drop hints in their early trailers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.71.81.54 (talk) 22:49, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Story Details

A few have emerged. The game takes place 3 years after the original and sees Travis embark on a mission of revenge after his best friend is killed. Suda51 is promising improvements on engine and graphics and a busier Santa Destroy with a dark tone to the story.

THEY KILLED JEANE(THE CAT)!!?!?!Vault9Dweller (talk) 19:50, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

His best friend in NMH was Bishop. It's unlikely that Travis is avenging Thunder Ryu (who's more of his mentor than a best friend), since he already avenged him by killing Speed Buster. The possibilities of who he's avenging, assuming the best friend is someone who appears in the first game, are left with either Bishop or Jeane (even for something close to him, the latter would still be a pretty lazy plot device IMO). Seeking revenge against Silvia would have made so much more sense. But whatever, this is getting off-topic lol. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 20:09, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Destroyman

Josh Keaton recently stated that he did more lines for Destroyman for the game. Should this be included in the article?
