The game’s publisher – Marvelous – revealed this in the game’s TGS press materials, though it was not noted until now. Oddly, no Japanese release date was given.

No More Heroes 2 is being designed by Goichi Suda and will remain exclusive to the Wii.

"I wanted to make a lot more stuff, more detail. So this time in No More Heroes 2, I want to take my revenge," he revealed. "And actually, the theme of No More Heroes 2 is revenge, so…"

He explained that the sequel comes due to the commercial success of the original. Suda added that it is time for the game to “become serious” but that it “won’t be too serious.”

Suda also talked about how the game could have jumped ship to Xbox 360, but did not due to the Wii-mote.

"One of the really good points of this game was the way we used the remote control. … If we took the Wii out of the equation, we’d have lost that, so the answer was that we had to make it on the Wii," he explained.

The sequel is due out sometime next year exclusively on Wii.
