Say yes to No More Heroes details

Namely, details regarding the main character Travis Touchdown and his amazing Beam Katana. Turns out, the fine young gentleman picked it up from an online auction and will, like the lightsaber it draws inspiration from, block bullets. And, as one might imagine, such a deadly weapon will demand a lot of power, so players will need to constantly recharge the weapon by finding batteries or, should there be none around, by shaking the Wiimote.

Good to know we don't HAVE to find the batteries (or ammunition if you will)

One of the things that bugged me about Metroid Prime 2 was the whole Ammo system

But MMV and/or Spike aren't showing at E3 this week, are they? Too bad...

He's a Star Wars Western styled fan and a Japanimation fan and watches wrestling and uses their moves. He bought a beam katana (lightsaber) on an eBay auction and kills assassins. For a better rank in the assassination ladder. Oh wait you're asking for genre, well um there's fighting, action, and adventure.
