Travis Touchdown is back for more in the highly charged second instalment, fuelled by bloodthirsty revenge

Thursday 11th February 2010: Leading videogames publisher Rising Star Games, today confirms that No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, exclusively for the Nintendo Wii, is on track to be released throughout Europe at the end of April 2010.

Soaked in slick graphic novel-style visuals, No More Heroes 2 is clever, mature and further validates the series’ reputation as one of the most original and unique games on the Wii. The story follows Travis Touchdown who now finds himself the 51st ranked assassin – placed at the bottom of the UAA (United Assassins Association) table. He has to fight his way back to the top, while seeking revenge for the murder of his best friend.

Legendary developer Suda 51 is naming No More Heroes 2 the game he’s always wanted to make – playing on the original’s strengths – complete with smart storyline, refined combat (utilising two beam katanas) and characters, and red blood. Lots and lots of red blood.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., February 10, 2010— The Play Label of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that its Hasbro-branded video games have sold a combined total of more than eight million units at retail globally1. To date, the company has launched 20 different Hasbro brands on 18 major digital platforms since the strategic alliance between EA and Hasbro (NYSE: HAS) was formed in August 2007.

EA attributes the soaring popularity of its Hasbro-inspired portfolio of video games to a combination of key market drivers such as the growing mass appeal of family-friendly video games, the ongoing demand for video games designed specifically for girls, and the rich heritage and draw of Hasbro’s iconic toy and game properties.
