The power of Lovikov is a curious thing
Some new gameplay info came out about our favorite upcoming Wii game (Super What-io What-axy?), No More Heroes, in the form of a seeming underworld connection to get Travis Touchdown some special moves. Apparently he can collect "Lovikov Balls" around Santa Destroy. Returning these items to the man for whom the balls are named, some drunk dude called Lovikov, nets you special moves.Two of the seven moves are shown off in screenshots at the No More Heroes site, and in larger screenshots at Famitsu. "Memory of Demon" is a super-powerful sword move that can pull off one-hit kills. "Memory of Child" enables you to run at super-speed.
No More Genki Rockets
You'll be able to acquire VHS cassettes featuring music videos in No More Heroes, for viewing back at Travis's nerdtacular home (on an apparently tiny TV, judging from our hero's posture.) The first such video to be revealed is Genki Rockets' "Heavenly Star," which is appropriately nerdy for inclusion in the otaku-fronted game.How nerdy is "Heavenly Star?" Well, the song's not about Doctor Who or anything, but it is performed by a group of fictional musicians who are from the future. Like the Gorillaz, the Genki Rockets manifest as holograms in live performances. And this (gorgeous) video was produced by Q? Entertainment's Tetsuya Mizuguchi for inclusion in Lumines II. Of course, you don't need to wait for No More Heroes or go buy Lumines II to see the video; we've embedded it after the break.
