The First Two NO MORE HEROES Games Come to Steam This Week
No More Heroes III is set to release on the Nintendo Switch later this year, but fans will be able to get caught up with the franchise on a new platform this week. XSEED Games recently announced that No More Heroes and No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle will be coming to PC via Steam on June 9. The PC version will support HD resolutions, smooth 60 FPS gameplay, and additional features like Steam Cloud support. Both games were developed by Grasshopper Manufacture Inc. and Marvelous Inc. for the Wii before being ported to the Switch last year. Now, another audience will be able to enjoy these games. Here’s what No More Heroes is about:
In No More Heroes, Travis Touchdown starts off as the #11 ranked assassin in the United Assassins Association (UAA). With his trusty beam katana, he 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!
Here’s the synopsis for No More Heroes 2.
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle takes place three years after Travis achieves his goal of becoming the #1 assassin in the UAA. He takes it a little too easy, however, and finds himself falling all the way 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. Always an otaku at heart, there’s also plenty of time for retro 8-bit minigames to earn some cash!
Both games will be available for $19.99 on Steam. Through June 15, fans will be able to save 10% to celebrate the launch.
