  1. From Nintendo.com: As much as I'd love to show you the trailers, Youtube won't let me embed them because they're marked as "Mature content". You'll have to look them up yourself. Anyway, as for the game itself: What is "No More Heroes"? Good question. It's a series of hack-and-slash action games created by Suda51, with a strong emphasis on over-the-top boss battles, pop-culture references, and satire of the modern game industry. Throughout the course of each game, Travis Touchdown must work menial part-time jobs in order to earn enough money to enter the next ranked assassin battle. Upon defeating each assassin, Travis's rank will increase, whereupon he must repeat the process over again until he becomes Number One. Of course, this being a Suda51 game, you're not supposed to play it for the gameplay. You're supposed to play it for the bizarre writing and the quirky meta-humor. In fact, one of the things about Suda51's games is that it's often difficult to discern whether something is an actual flaw. The first No More Heroes game, for example, has a massive wide-open city to explore, but almost nothing to do in it besides drive your motorcycle to your next job or assassination gig. Did the developers run out of resources to add more things to do in the city, or is it meant to be a satire on the over-saturation of open-world games? Do I have to play the first two games to understand the plot of this one? Probably not. Hell, the trailers even say that it's designed to be enjoyable for people who are new to the series. However, it's worth mentioning that despite being mostly self-contained, a major plot point in Desperate Struggle was the result of a series of optional side-missions in the first game, which makes much more sense for players who didn't skip it. Who knows if there'll be a similar twist in this one? What about Travis Strikes Again? Unlike the rest of the series, TSA is a top-down beat-em-up spinoff with a much simpler gameplay loop of traversing through bizarre worlds based on indie games. While still considered canon, it primarily exists to set up the Suda51 Cinematic Universe. That being said, screenshots and trailers for NMH3 have confirmed that certain features from TSA will be making a comeback, most prominently the Death Glove mechanic that allows you to equip certain strategic skills to augment your beam katana and wrestling attacks. So, who else is hyped for this game? I know I am!
