Now that I think about it, you know how you always complain that video game sounds in movies are unrealistically dumb? They're all 8-bit-system-sounding (beeps and boops)? <i>No More Heroes</i> had a lot of those types of sounds, even not including the mini game or the rankings screen. The "power up" sound was very retro, the repetition of the singular phrases ("My spleen!!!") is very retro to the ear, etc. Exactly.

Everything from the "powering up" to the repetitive lines from the bosses were all... overblown. Like how in anime, there's a sigh or gasp at every emotion.
