Following a little Nintendo Direct Mini today, XSEED Games shocked fans with the release of remastered versions of both No More Heroes and No More Heroes 2 for the Nintendo Switch. Both titles seem to be on sale for $17.99 (USD), which looks to be $2 off of the regular price of $19.99.
These two SUDA51 creations were originally released back on the Nintendo Wii in 2008 and 2010 respectively. That aforementioned launch discount will be available from now through November 14.
The remastered releases include some upgrades such as HD textures, improved system fonts, additional language support, and more.
In No More Heroes, Travis Touchdown starts off as the #11 ranked assassin in the United Assassins Association (UAA), and with his trusty beam katana must face off against the world’s top 10 assassins. He rides the streets of Santa Destroy on his signature motorbike, the Schpeltiger, and packs an arsenal of pro-wrestling moves honed from years of watching wrestlers power bomb and body slam each other. It’s a long way to the top, but the all-American otaku won’t stop until he’s the #1 assassin in the world, baby!
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle takes place three years after Travis achieves his goal of being the #1 assassin in the UAA. However, time has not been kind to him, and he finds himself falling down the ranks to #51. Adding to his problems is Skelter Helter, another assassin who has sworn revenge on Travis for the death of his brother. With his trusty beam katanas in-hand for twice the hacking and slashing, and teamed up with his allies Shinobu and Henry Cooldown, Travis is on a mission to reclaim his #1 position and fend off new challengers. An otaku at heart though, there’s always time for retro 8-bit minigames to help him earn some money and power up!
