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.
lol….
Don’t forget that No More Heroes 2 is maed in Japan!

Nice. Lets see if there will be a BJ5 spin-off. I can already smell the scent of [i]doujin[/i] 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.
Only about five hundred times better than that stupid s♥♥t 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.
Wait a few more years and you will see an advanced Version of NMH2 on the PS3, trust me.
Ahahaha, I saw this on a live playthrough of NMH 2 earlier today. I knew Sankaku would have an article about it 😀
