No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, a free-roaming otaku hitman sim for the Wii, has attracted note for the quality of its in-game mahou shoujo parody moe anime (complete with gratuitous jiggle and nude transformation scenes), and its companion shooting game, both visible in the below video.
The moe starts at 9:25 and the moe shooting is at 4:30:
The protagonist, Travis, is actually an otaku, which should go some way to explaining matters.
The executive digest version:
Many will doubtless be reminded of GTA’s Princess Robot Bubblegum, although this comes as a much kinder and subtler stab at the genre.
Although developed in Japan, it is heavily aimed at western markets; the American version is released on the 26th, whilst an EU release is due later. The Japanese release has yet to even be announced. The game can of course also be ordered internationally now.

MOeeee >.>
People buy this game please... Wii owners need one for the team....... Do it for the fucking Moe!!!!!!!!
Glad to know okama put more effort in the sequel.
Lolis, school uniforms, school swimsuits, blending kawaii/sex-appeal in its character designs, music featuring Miku Hatsune, a more modern-day Japanese setting, and a lack of emphasis on mecha elements--Now this is more modern parody of anime in Japan.
Although some of the stereotypes in the GTA parody do apply to a certain extent in anime today (especially the "merchandising" part), a lot of them were far more prevalent in the anime world during the 80s~90s.
Oh man, now I want to get NMH2.
I demand a full-blown anime series of this! With pre-release promotional figurines of all the lolis!
pure effing win.
Beginning of the moe sequence = HINAMIZAWA!!!!
Hm, someone here who could test out if this works with the Freeloader on a PAL Wii?
Since i dont want the fucking PAL and JP Version.
I hate censored SHIT.
But as always , Travis will be the fucking best, i mean this IS the Best Game for the Wii.
That guy don't know his old-skool video games. It's not Space invaders, it's 1943: The Battle of Midway!
Ahahaha, I saw this on a live playthrough of NMH 2 earlier today. I knew Sankaku would have an article about it :D
Suda51 is just made of so much WIN!
Wait a few more years and you will see an advanced Version of NMH2 on the PS3, trust me.
Only about five hundred times better than that stupid shit they had in GTAIV, that "parody" was as stupid as that craphole they had on Adult Swim a couple years or so back. I only wish they'd made a little 10-minute episode of Bizarre Jelly/Jerry to put in. I also find it hilarious how all the girls make a "Fua fua" sound when they spawn in the minigame.
lol....
Don't forget that No More Heroes 2 is maed in Japan!
"One Strawberry Milkshake, extra large, extra fresh, please!" :3
Nice. Lets see if there will be a BJ5 spin-off. I can already smell the scent of doujin from an ocean away.
Yeah, this vertical-scrolling shooter is peanuts compared to Touhou, but this isn't Touhou anyway. Just some minigame to unlock the Moetan-inspired vid.
NO MORE HEROES 2 GAME OF THE YEAR... on the wii... doesn't have much to compete with :p
Well, there's loli, so it's good.
Dude if they released the moe game on its own I'd buy it!
Looks like they spent some real time on that satire lol.
Does this game happen in Mexico or in Chicago? Otherwise I can't explain why the guy have so many wrestler mask in his house and a portrait of Virgen de Guadalupe next to his closet.
Japanese version has no blood.
The first No More Heroes was good enough to play on the Wii consinder not many people didn't have a Wii its still a good game.
Hm, Moé~<3
Notice Travis' game console looks like an Xbox 360.
Touhou bullet hell parody game, magical girls based on different jelly flavors but are all named Ichigo, and Miku Hatsune singing.
I think I love this game.
his is moe anime parody done right because it could pass as a real show and way more discrete than gta's attempt. great game, too bad no one will buy it because it's on the wii just like the first one.
This'll definitely be on my list of games to buy from the bargain bin a year from now:-)
MUST TRADE IN PSP GO FOR WII!!!!!!!!!!!!
jaa the first no more heroes game was epic xD Looking forwards to getting this one~
Getting NMH 2 this Tuesday but this little mini-game seems like a nice side track
anyway Im more for the blood and guts that'll be happin'
FUCK YEAH TRAVIS TOUCHDOWN!
I would actually watch this if it was an Anime. Strawberry Power!!!! - How is this guy "Mischief?" not one of us already?
Your avatar reminds me of my lost taste of real women.
exactly
I am seriously thinking about buying this now. I need a game for the Wii that I can play on my own and this seems like a good candidate!
damn...........that's kinda cool
Sweet, this plus the new gameplay features makes this a must have for me.
LOLI!!!
I feel alive again!

was the first thing that came to mind... i like it :3
wait!..... hatsune miku sings the background musci?!.... maybe XD
this is so worth renting now, just for the fouthou rip-off XD
Err.., Touhou wasn't the first and only shooting game where you play as a human (specifically cute girls) instead of flying jetplanes in it..
Oblivious masses are oblivious, I think one of the earlier shooting games to impliment girls/humans flying around is gunbird by psikyo (1994).
the invasion begins now!
Quality satire is quality.
That dude should never pick up a Touhou game.
And yes, that was definitely Miku! XDDD
So I wasn't alone about hearing Miku.
since Wii is only made for young idiots and old idiots, they will just think we are bigger idiots...
YES MOE YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANKS JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was that Hatsune Miku singing during the moe shooting sequence?
Yeah it is, song is called PURE-WHITE GIANT TINY GLASTONBURY, it was included on the "Dark side" soundtrack for the first game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrgiiA7j9_M
Yes! I recognize her voice!!
I think it was. It had the somewhat noticeable vocal cutoffs the vocaloids usually exhibit.
That's what it sounds like.
