Travis to Touchdown in May.

Rising Star's trumpeted a 28th May release date for No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle.

The sequel's exclusive to Wii and follows assassin-hero Travis Touchdown as he again climbs the United Assassin's Association league to avenge a murdered friend.

This time, however, there are more and tougher bosses; extra weapons (including a dual-beam katana); wrestling moves and a Tiger metamorphosis.

Travis's twin brother Henry will be playable this time, as will Travis's protege Shinobu Jacobs. Plus, there are 8-bit-style mini-games, side jobs and a 2D map.

We imported No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle in February and delivered our verdict. Catch it and the explanation in Eurogamer's No More Heroes 2 review.

"... a Tiger metamorphosis. "

Cue the jokes about Tiger Woods and the French liason from the 1st game.

Um, hasn't the release date for this been known for quite sometime now?

I might hold out and see if this makes the transition to other platforms as the first one did. Still waiting for that to appear on Xbox though to finish it off.

Jesus why so long? Just another reminder why the Wii is stuck in the past with near simultaneous PS3/360 EU/US releases pretty much the norm now.

they didn't by any chance also give a date for that HD remake of the first one?

Heroes' Paradise, or nil interest. I'd get a Wii, except I already did...and there'll be no happenstance of Shame on Me.

That date sits quite nicely between other potentially good Wii games coming out. Good work.

Or, as ever, import it and legally softmod your Wii to play it?

Usually I'm fine with importing but not in this case. Rising Star has proven to be a fantastic publisher when it comes to titles that nobody else seems to care about and for that I'm willing to wait even a few months. Better late than never.

Don't mind, i picked up NMH1 a few months late & am still playing through it (in between playing Madworld, Silent Hill, NFS Nitro, Dead Space & a few other great Wii titles that no one else will bother trying, because playing mature titles on Wii makes your penis shrink).
