No More Heroes 2 – Walkthrough

hey_suburbia — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 22:44:53 +0000

GameTrailers has a great walkthrough, here is the first entry:

To beat No More Heroes 2, you must work your way up through the ranks to become the #1 assassin. Your first battle in the game is against the 51st ranked assassin, but thankfully you do not have to kill all 50 of the remaining assassins standing between you and first! Read below for strategies on beating the assassins you do have to defeat in order to win the game.

No. 51: Skelter Helter

When you first have control of Travis Touchdown, you’ll be facing an albino enemy, Skelter Helter, the brother of some poor fool you slaughtered in the first No More Heroes. This guy is no pushover. The game will run you through the controls here throughout the fight, so pay attention to learn the various battle techniques available to you. Lock onto the guy, run toward him, roll out of the way of his attack, then start hacking away until he drops.

After a gratuitous fan service cutscene, you’ll be back fighting Skelter Helter. Go to town on him before he starts firing his gatling revolver, then go crazy on him with your beam sword again. Use a combination of high and low slashes, and move the analog stick in the directions indicated onscreen, when they make their appearance, to finish the bastard.

You’re now the 51st ranked assassin!

Another few cutscenes rife with sexual innuendo violence later, you’ll find yourself in your apartment. Play with your fat cat, Jeane, or choose your wardrobe, or play a shmup, or whatever you feel like. When you’re ready to get on with the game, exit the apartment. If you feel like tackling a Side Job, by all means do so. You can also visit Airport 51 (to buy new clothes), Naomi’s Lab (to buy new weapons), or Ryan’s Gym (to build up your strength & stamina). We suggest at the very least playing the Side Jobs to earn enough money to purchase the new weapon from Naomi.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks – Review Round-up 2

Video Review by GameTrailers

IGN – 93
While Spirit Tracks has some obvious deja vu elements and can drag on from time to time, Nintendo’s latest pocket Zelda trumps the first game hands-down, delivering amazing bosses once again, now complemented with impressive dungeons, a truly epic challenge in the Spirit Tower, and a substantially longer adventure overall.

Cheat Code Central – 92
It’s not quite as lengthy or extensive as a Zelda game for the Wii, but it certainly includes all those elements Zelda fans are looking for: lots of dungeon crawling, puzzles, good storyline, charming visuals, etc. Best of all, you can take it with you on your next trip and even play it with a friend.

Official Nintendo Magazine UK – 91
Not a huge leap forward for the series but a wonderful game nonetheless. Enjoy.

1UP – 91
Fortunately, Spirit Tracks is nowhere near as toothless as its predecessor, so these issues amount to minor irritants at worst. It’s a deceptively meaty adventure with enough novel twists on the Zelda formula to keep it from feeling phoned-in. It’s definitely a game that rewards casual play — not in the sense of “casual games,” but rather in the sense that it’s packed with events and quests that you’ll completely miss if you simply rush from dungeon to dungeon. The loose, upbeat banjo-and-whistle melody that plays as you ride the rails says it all: Relax, take it easy, enjoy the ride, see the sights. And while I miss the traditional overworld design of the core Zelda games, there’s something inherently fun about rambling across the countryside on a steam engine, unlocking new tracks by completing side quests, and filling a little book with station stamps at each stop along the way. The end result is a charming side story that, like Link’s Awakening and Majora’s Mask, forges its own unique personality — something the medium could certainly use a little more of these days.

I suppose it’s pretty much a given that Nintendo fans are always going to buy the latest Zelda game, but Spirit Tracks doesn’t simply coast along on its legacy. Like New Super Mario Bros. Wii, it’s a direct follow-up to a recent release that exceeds its predecessor in every way. And while it may not hit the soaring heights of Mario’s latest, it’s a fine game in its own right.

Game Revolution – 91
A fun time and very well executed game. If you’re looking for something to play on the road while on vacation, or hiding away from society in a bomb shelter until Christmas blows over, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks makes as good a companion as a Ghost Princess.

Computer and Video Games – 90
A superb quest that doesn’t rewrite the rules but delivers another engrossing Zelda adventure. If you own a DS, buy it. Spirit Tracks has that same Zelda intrigue with each new unexplored area, be it a village, dungeon or cave in the wall, drawing you towards it like a fat man to a fridge. You just have to look around. Explore. Lose yourself in its world. And with an abundance of side quests (catching bunnies, collecting jewels, stamping in a stamp book, giving characters lifts around) there’s plenty of activities to get absorbed into.

Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks isn’t the refresh so many fans are calling for, but that task can be left for the next big boy Wii entry. Despite this – and the fact that it’s a little on the easy side, like Hourglass – this is still a stunning example of brilliant game design and you won’t find much better on any handheld.

GameTrailers – 90
Spirit Tracks addresses all of the shortcomings of Phantom Hourglass and delivers a brilliant experience. It hasn’t done much to change up the established formula, but it’s still a solid adventure that ranks as one of the better outings in the series.
Watch Video Review

NintendoWorldReport – 90
A superb game and one of the best DS games this year. The dungeons are top-tier, entertaining affairs, and the train is fun to ride around in as you journey through the interesting game world.

GameSpot – 85
Spirit Tracks’ exciting new mechanics and classic gameplay make it one Zelda adventure that has got a full head of steam.

GamePro – 80
While it isn’t perfect, Spirit Tracks does enough things right that you won’t regret persevering through the initial sluggishness. Once the game picks up momentum and speed, it packs a locomotive sized punch, one that doesn’t reinvent the wheel but still manages to do the storied franchise proud.

Edge Magazine – 80
Spirit Tracks’ aging tricks continue to carry you cack into the narcotic realms of pure ritual, until you’re deep in the caverns yet again, holding the magic yellow boomerang once more, and wondering what quirky brilliance it will bring with it this time.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii – Cheats – 99 Lives

hey_suburbia — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:47:10 +0000

I remember it just like it was yesterday. The rumor in 1986 that went around the school yard and passed from kid to kid during the summer. The rumor was said to get an infinite amount of lives in Super Mario Bros. for the NES. Very few could master it, and whoever could pull off the feet was king for the day. Nintendo really kept New Super Mario Bros. Wii old school by using one of the most classic cheats (skills?) in the Mario Bros. franchise. The guys over at GT found the same trick in the New Super Mario Bros. Wii to get 99 lives, the only difference is that the lives are numerical who as in the NES version you got weird symbols to represent your lives

After watching the video above, check out the same exact trick done 23 years ago, in this YouTube clip of somebody doing this in the original Super Mario Bros.
