Nintendo Hero 2

Nintendo Hero 2 (Eiyuu Nintendo II/Nintendo Saviours II in Japan) is the successor to the first Nintendo Hero title. Like its predecessor, Nintendo Hero 2's gameplay mechanisms play similar to the Guitar Hero and DJ Hero franchises, but only uses a setlist full of songs from "Nintendocore" artists. NH2 is published by Nintendo and developed by Arc System Works, and is available for the Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and the GigaCom, the latter being a Europe-only release. This is the first title in the NH series to get a release outside of a Nintendo console.

Gameplay
Nintendo Hero 2 follows the same structure as its predecessor, utilizing "Nintendocore" songs whilst playing with either wired or wireless instruments: two guitars (one acts like a bass), drums, and a keyboard. Unlike the previous installment, NH2 does offer some new elements: there is now a "vocals" instrument, the keyboards have a programming function where the tracks can get "looped", and the setlist has a little more variety, ranging also into Sonic the Hedgehog music. NH2 includes all the seven game modes from the previous installment, plus five new ones, with one of them being some sort of upgraded Story Mode and another being reminiscent of the GH Studio from Guitar Hero 5.
