The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I thought Suda and co. didn't really like making sequels. If it's as good as the first I'll be buying it. Let's hope this doesn't become another Viewtiful Joe though.
Kay now I'm slightly more motivated to finish the first one. Ugh. Pretty cool though, why haven't I read about this on Joystiq?
WHY DIDN'T YOU FINISH THE FIRST ONE ALREADY WHAT ARE YOU SOME SORT OF GAY THE FIRST ONES ENDING IS AWESOME AND AMAZING AND POSTMODERN AND SURREAL IN SO AWESOME WAYS

Didnt the first one completely bomb. And I mean properly bomb like <60k or something stupid. I honestly cant remember. Maybe that was Unreal Tournament.

Suda51 does licensed anime games to raise money for his art projects, basically.

Didn't it sell better than any of his other projects?

Suda has actually mentioned repeatedly in interviews that he wants "to do more with Travis Touchdown" and would like to make more games with Travis... But he never actually said outright that he was going to do a sequel per se.
I didn't finish the first one either. Then again, this is partially because my Wii is sick and needs treatment .
THEN FIX IT NOW AND FINISH IT
I'm waiting for the "Send this shit to the Nintendo doctors" sticker to arrive. Then I ship it off and hand Nintendo $90 because I didn't get the problem fixed while it was still under warranty...
And NMHs production values were like, money for rent of a cardboard box on the street, so if they sold one copy they would've made twice the expenditure back.

Still haven't finished the first one either, but every minute has been glorious so far.
Except for picking up coconuts. Decidedly not glorious.
Except that it helped the constant social commentary as food gathering which represents the constructive parts of society(in addition to cleaning, mowing lawn, whatnot) being the low paying jobs while the jobs involving death and destruction and work against society were the high paying jobs and GARHASGADFGHDFAGDSJ

It sold at least 100k in the US in its first month, and I don't have European figures. (source: mmv's own website, http://www.mmv.co.jp/message/president.php). NPD posted 65k sales for the first week of sales. But the ~100k number was for at the very most 3 or 3 and a half weeks (based on the time between the release of the game and when mmv posted its sales numbers)
Turns out NMH is grasshopper's best selling game ever. At least on a single platform.
Thing is, the sales were predicated on the basis that Ubi expected it to sell less than 200k, and so they contracted for that accordingly. And only published relatively few copies. They had very little to lose.
How did they (GHM) get the funds for this? They may have very well funded it themselves, like they do with many of their own games. Then they contract with a publisher to have X quantities published. It's up to the publisher how much they want to "risk" publishing and how much they want to risk in spending on marketing. With NMH, Ubi spent very little publishing, and spent very little marketing.
Anyway... who cares! We get to see more of Travis Touchdown! WOOOOO!
But the trailer says NMH2, meaning its a direct sequel, right?
meaning it'll be on wii, right? right?!
i don't want to come of as a fanboy or anything...I mean, I'd be ecstatic of it was on an HD platform. That'd be cool. But NMH was one of those games that was so much fun because of the wiimote.

Not late. Oh shi... Time to change my pants
Haha, made me lol. Props.
YES
Though it'll be near impossible to beat the ending of the first one.
Or do anything after it that works.

although NMH didn't do that poorly. Killer7 did.

I believe it shipped over 500k worldwide
I know it sold over 100K in the US for sure...
edit:
here's a source on that

Without a gameplay jump like that, I'm not sure I see the point. The first game was perfect.
Probably just a trailer. This could, honestly, go to any platform.
