No More Heroes

While the first game is missing some content from the PS3 version, No More Heroes 1 and 2 on Switch are easily the best versions of these fantastic games. While it’s disappointing they didn’t take the time to fix any of the games issues like the tedious minigames, both are still well worth playing.

When you are in control, No More Heroes 3 runs like a charm. But there are some weird issues and broken cutscenes.

With the release date of No More Heroes 3 being announced, it was inevitable that No More Heroes would release on the Nintendo Switch. A supposedly amazing series with cult following, one I'm glad I finally jumped into. But does this remake do it justice?

Games like No More Heroes III are remarkably rare. Brimming with ideas and genuinely humorous moments, this is something uniquely Grasshopper, uniquely Suda. Get on it as soon as humanly possible.

For those that can work around it though, No More Heroes delivers snappy combat, hilarious characters, cinematic battles, and some of the most rewarding motion fighting since Godfather: Blackhand Edition. There’s a point in No More Heroes where you realize that even despite all its shortcomings you’re still having a great time playing the game, and we won’t deny that aspect. If you can put up with a lack of polish, No More Heroes is an extremely rewarding product, and a must-have for any Suda fan or hardcore gamer.

No More Heroes 3 is sure as hell a mainline No More Heroes game, and frankly, that’s all it needs to be. If you came for the hack-and-slash, high-octane action that the original game promised and delivered, the game certainly has it. If you’re here for goofy anime-like plot, a slew of pop culture references, and just an overall helluva romp, this will be a fun time. And this game sure has a lot of Travis Touchdown being Travis Touchdown: a total and utter a*****e of an “otaku,” with h...

No More Heroes 3 is an interesting game when you cut out all the padding. I really enjoyed watching the cutscenes, taking in the weird humor and referential flair, and taking on the myriad of strange and fun combat associated with each boss, even if a certain one felt needlessly obnoxious. It’s the stuff between that drags down the experience. This game’s open world just isn’t fun, and the activities you need to do to get back to the good stuff are increasingly stretched and dull. I can appreciate the flashy action and grindhouse exploitation nature of No More Heroes 3 for what it is, but it k...

The thing is, these are problems that have plagued the No More Heroes series since the very first game. Despite the third title leaning into what makes the games so compelling, it’s still so attached to the past that it pulls itself back from greatness. No More Heroes III is the best game in the franchise, that much is obvious. It’s equal parts annoying and inspired, a vision from a creator who’s confident in his own creativity. While its eccentric, bombastic style continues to surprise...
