A new trailer with in game footage for No More Heroes! Looks wacky and insane! It's like Jedi murder simulator!

Wow. The play mechanics and art direction look pretty damn cool!

We didn't see any shots of what Wiimote motions are used for sword play. If it uses the stupid gesture system that Red Steel used, it will be a big disappointment. I want the sword to track the way I hold the remote, exactly as a real one. I don't want a game where I have to "flick" the controlled in 3 predefined gestures to unleashed scripted animations... yawn.

Yea it did. I saw a few times where it flashed what you should do in order to perform an action on screen. One in particular was for what looked like a reverse body slam.

I think the "finishing" moves use gesturing, but the basic attacks are performed by button presses, if I remember correctly. There isn't any free-hand sword swinging.

Suda51's team is actually working on 3 Wii titles.

Suda also said that No More Heroes is only one of three titles Grasshopper is currently working on for the Wii console, but the only one he could currently mention by name.

Rest of the press conference

If it's as weird as Killer 7, you'll be too busy being kind of freaked out to care about controls.
