A dorky anime and wrestling obsessed dude named Travis Touchdown happens to blow all of his cash winning a lightsaber on an online auction site.


The premise of No More Heroes 1, for the uninitiated, is brutally simple and instantly charming. With zero build-up and hardly any fanfare, Nintendo has casually dropped the best versions of these games onto their latest console for newcomers and Suda 51 die-hards alike to dig into. Imagine my surprise when, on my literal birthday, Nintendo decides to stealth release HD ports of No More Heroes 1 and No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle onto the Nintendo Switch eShop. I’ve been craving a proper sequel to the hyperviolent Suda 51 directed saga of No More Heroes for even longer, and while a third mainline entry is coming next year, I’ve been itching for a more polished way to re-experience my favorite Nintendo Wii games. I love No More Heroes, and I’ve wanted it on Nintendo Switch ever since I got my hands on the hybrid-handheld console three years ago.
