Touchdown throwback: No More Heroes 2 goes 8-bit, on purpose

I'd like to think that there's some wonky translation afoot in this extended video with an increasingly iconic and self-aware Suda 51 introducing the new features in Wii sequel No More Heroes 2. The most interesting thing you'll see within is that the new game's part-time-job side-missions now take place in faux 8-bit NES style, which pseudo-Suda claims is "on purpose."

I'd like to think what they meant is "deliberately", because no one should have to basically apologize for a touch of nostalgia, especially when it looks as good as this. [via TinyCartridge]
