The No More Heroes site continues to leak bits and pieces of information -- just enough to keep us drooling -- and this latest update covers some of the ground already tread by this morning's video. Our hero Travis and his beam katana are the center of the new information, which is all about combat and the tools of the assassination trade. The beam katana can be used to deflect bullets (where've we seen that before?), but it's not a never-ending source of bloody awesome; like any gadget, it can run out of juice. Luckily, there are battery packs scattered around, but in the event you can't find one and find yourself in need of a good cutting edge, you can always get your waggle-charge on. Charging the katana is as simple as jerking the Wiimote up and down.
The updates also show off something we've already seen -- Travis's penchant for wrestling moves -- and a shot of a fight brought to a grappling standstill. The image isn't terribly clear, but it seems that with a turn of the Wii remote, it's possible to break free and beat your opponent down.
We couldn't possibly want this game more, but at this point, all we really want is to find out just what's up with the tiger indicator on the upper part of the screen. In videos, it can be seen wiggling around, and in these screens, it looks like he takes a little tiger-journey across the top of the image, but for what reason? We can wait for the game, but we must know the secret of the tiger! Perhaps he's like a pet, feeding on the blood of your enemies. It's either that, or he's linked to all the tiger rugs we keep seeing in the game.

Suda51 is copying Sakurai. Start a countdown only in days. On the last day say a blog will start. Show little tidbits and let the fanboys hype it and drool.

@ 1
It must be a thing with the great Japanese developers (as individuals) to do stuff like that
Either way, i'm actually hoping Galaxy might get delayed out of the holiday season right now, it'll give me an oppurtunity to buy this (and NiGHTS 2)

Oh, and maybe the Tiger is a throwback to the movie "The New Guy"
"Ok; bend your knees, spread your palms, Tiger Claws."
"What?"
"TIGER CLAWS!! Watch my hands! Watch my hands!"

Hope this game doesn't suffer the fate of Manhunt 2, as Suda 51 said he promised it would be MORE violent than MH2...

@ #4: I think he didn't know how violent MH2 was then XD...No seriously, the only "REAL" violence we see here are when you cut some guy down the middle, a fountain of blood. That's unlike MH2, for example, where you chop some guys testicles off with pincers, or cutting a guards head-off so you can clear and area by portraying it to another guard through the window, as though the decapitated head was the live guard, shall I go on...I will, Glass shard as weapons, needles, axes, saws, silent dark areas, everyone is an enemy and must be killed violetly...Although, this isn't to say that I am dying to play MH2 and am completely disappointed at what happened. Well, guess I'll have to wait for this one, though I doubt it'll be an AO game, me thinks it'll be an M. But the rating boards really thought that they were strong and cool when they blocked/ Rated AO MH2 and might do the same here, but I doubt it...I hope :S

^ a few corrections ^
...I meant clear THE area (not clear and area)
...and I am dying to play and am completely disappointed at what happened, , which is kind of the opposite of what I wrote...
...And violetly is VIOLENTLY
