No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Again revealed (Switch, UE4)

Um.... so... for those of us outside the loop, what is No More Heroes in general and why is it good?
They're essentially character-based action games that, while not super deep in the gameplay department, are full of style and absolutely outrageous boss fights.

Damn I want that shirt tho!
 
Um.... so... for those of us outside the loop, what is No More Heroes in general and why is it good?

Fun hack and slash games with a cool art style, pop culture references that sometimes break the 4th wall, and interesting lore and world set in a fictional town in California.

The boss fights and the highlight of the series.
 
Um.... so... for those of us outside the loop, what is No More Heroes in general and why is it good?
Hack n slash game with a heavy focus on boss fights with a story and aesthetic that can best be described as taking a bunch of Quentin Tarantino and anime DVDs, grounding them into a fine powder and snorting a line of it
 
They hired Boneface to design Bad Girl's dad, there's a level themed around Hotline Miami, the title is in the Stranger Things font.

Did they just rip this game out of my subconscious, or
 
Uh yeah. I was already on the fence regarding when exactly I'd be getting a Switch (library), but by the time this game releases, there will be more than three games I really want to play. Absolutely loved the first two No More Heroes.
 
Metroid Prime 4.
No More Heroes 3

Nintendo Switch is the system of Dreams™.

Not to mention the main series Pokémon game releasing on a home console, which I know was a dream for some people.

Hmm...hey Capcom can we get a Viewiful Joe 3 to happen, pleaaaaaaase?
 
Do you think
Jeane
from the post-credits of the first game may factor in?

I've always thought of her as
Henry's daughter as Sylvia looked the same age in that scene.

Technically any daughter
of Henry is also Travis' daughter because they are identical twins.
It would be interesting if Bad Girl's dad
goes after her because of this. Would be a good reason to involve
Sylvia and Henry
.

The word you're looking for is uncle because what you just described is not how biology works.
 
Nice, NMH with no motion controls will be great.

Horrible.

Flick of the Switch.

Hope that points to motion. Would be insane not support split controls as well since the Joy-Cons are made for it.

Slashing through an enemy felt so damn good!

Also they need to bring back motion kills to bosses like 2.

Slight spoilers for a first half boss fight in 2. It's the worst fight in the game but was redeemed by this ending.

See some very small examples and not the best above.
 
I bet we will have levels in the art style and gameplay of the various indie games involved, with UE4/NMH graphic and style boss fights
 
NMH was never a pretty game, but looking at it again in 2017 Eeek. We were very forgiving with the Wii.

No, I imported the US version of NMH on Wii cause I wanted the uncensored version but it was a constant hassle dealing with the original Wii's crappy motion control.

Jeez, I don't care if you enjoy motion controls. I was just expressing my excitement to play it on a normal controller. No need to be an elitist jerk about it.

Since NMH2 had regular and motion controls as an option, that was an odd statement to make.
 
I really hope that instead of the arcade games you play short pieces of indie games with Travis in there.

Imagine playing Hotline Miami or Let it Die inside this game.
 
Horrible.

I'm on the fence, or at least hope they give us both options of control. As much as motion felt good in terms of slashing enemies and the bosses with the unique sequences at the end, motion control bores me now and I always feel like I have to over exert myself. Sometimes you just want to kick back and play too, so I hope the control options are there.

Another cool thing they could do is controls with some motion elements and moments mixed in.
 
You jerk the wiimote off to charge up and do suplexes on bosses and theres a parking lot level in the 2nd game that goes on for 30 literal minutes of fighting enemies then you fight a gothic Lolita sniper with a really good song.

you also save by taking a shit and its about sexual immaturity

Said Gothic Lolita has a functional m82 .50cal rifle converted into a scythe

I half agree a lot of things in the games suck ass but the boss fights, music, style etc are superb

like NMH is immediately more interesting then assassins creed because as flawed as NMH is its fucking interesting at least

Which is why I'm excited for a NMH game on new hardware. It has so much potential to be more this time around.
