No More Heroes 1 + 2 on Switch are currently the 3rd and 4th best selling games on the EShop this week! That’s great for this series!
Just like Travis, they’re climbing the ranks...
As the prophecy foretold
IT’S ON THE TOP BEST SELLERS ON THE SWITCH E SHOP! THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY BOUGHT IT!! Looks like they stayed true to their word after all...
YASSSSS :D
I see the eShop users are people of culture
This was my first time actually playing it, i loved them both
kinda relieving to hear that
I was on the fence of waiting for a physical release, but then my three neurons combined figured out that I already own the originals on the Wii. Now I'm just glad I supported the franchise. TSA is next
I must say I'm loving this Grasshopper renaissance and the Suda51 golden age.
Me too.
But I noticed there's always a golden age then it sorta dies down shortly after.
It’s only a golden age if we’re getting a Killer 9 or something way out there again.
When he threw away the ps3 version: I felt that
I have it and haven't played it yet and bought nmh 2 on switch
THEY REMOVED HEAVENLY STAR, GIVE IT BACK, THIS ISN'T RIGHT THAT WAS OURS
Sony said no
That was a big minus for me.. Hearing heavenly star popping up randomly in the game was part of the experience.. That said this is still the best version of the game now
iamnsay are you dumb
WE LOVED IT, DAMN IT!
I remember when I first heard the song on Wii and then I played on PS3 and I got super sad
100% agree with the last segment. They did a fantastic job reviving the franchise, I don't think you can just port some old stuff and expect to rise eyebrows, let alone bring new blood. A new entry, even if its a small side game, very clearly says "We're back and we're making new stuff".
Okami can tell you that.
I've wanted to play No More Heroes for years, and that leak had me frantically waiting for the Switch port. Now that I have finally been able to play it, it was everything I had hoped for and almost instantly became one of my favorite games. I almost played it again right after beating it just because I didn't want it to end. I'm working through all the KTP games right now, about halfway through The Silver Case, and I can't wait to get caught up for No More Heroes 3.
I finally had the pleasure of playing both games. And even if I watched the cinematics over and over on youtube to the point that I knew every dialogue. Man it was fun to play.
O and you're ending theme is another song that is missing in the game. A shame
Glad to hear it!!!
@@shadowarrior5928 ?
After failing to complete NMH on it's original Wii release as a young gamer, I went and instantly picked up both NMH1&2 on switch and just beat both of them. Trying to hype myself up for Travis Strikes Again now. Your videos on the series were delightful epilogue dessert to catch up on SUDA news. You've got a new fan here, can't wait for NMH3!
Up until recently, No More Heroes was my favorite game I never played. And thanks to these ports, No More Heroes is now one of my favorite games I’ve ever played
I hope they throw a port of killer 7 or the silver case to switch.
YES!
Hell yeah!
I would pay top dollar to play killer7 on the switch.
well, silver case and 25th ward are getting a switch release!
Finally.
Now all the people who wanted Travis in Smash but never actually played the games are going to actually know what he really is: a sociopathic weeb loser with a lightsaber, and not Dante and Trevor Phillips's punk rock love child. (I hope that makes sense)
It'd still be cool to see him in smash tho.
It makes more sense than it should
@@dezouza8996 I was basically trying to say that Travis is *not* a cool ha ha funny random anime sword fighter. NMH2 Travis leans more into that, but then Suda brought him/the series back to its senses with TSA, thank god.
@@therentpursuer9869 yeah I got it, but that comparison to dante and trevor was oddly specific yet I understood what it meant because from an outside perspective travis seems like that.
Edit: I love TSA
Ghenry: Good bye forever!
*Ghenry throws out his old copy of No More Hero PS3
Amazing
I've been a fan of these games for years. I wish someone could've seen my face when I get home from work and my friends just texts me, "no more heros." I go to CZcams and see the trailer. I have to say, fastest 40 bucks I've ever spent.
I was just playing my switch and opened the store and saw No More Heroes. The excitement i felt was probably the same as yours. Instantly bought 1 and holding off on 2 till i finish 1 becaude i dont wanna tempt myself and play 2 before 1.
@@kai2082 it was really hard for me not to play the second one it was just sitting there! But I just fought the first boss then beat 1
I know it's a long shot but I hope there's a physical release for 1 & 2 on Switch
Then there's a legit reason to throw out Paradise lol
The preorders start March 15th I believe from Limited Games
I cannot wait for No More Heroes 3 to drop! I never got to play the originals back then on the Wii cuz I didn’t know anything about No More Heroes until 2 years ago! Now though I have NMH, NMH2, & TSA all on my Switch and I played and beat every single one of them! (Shameless plug but I even recorded a bunch of boss fights of all 3 games on my channel lol!) and now I can’t wait to add NMH3 to my collection and I’m really looking forward to beating NMH3 too!
7:37 I like how that cars like a cross between Dom’s Charger and Bryan’s GT-R from Fast and Furious
I'm really glad this came to the Switch and I'm loving the fact that I can re-experience these at a better resolution and frame rate. I kind of hope these get released on everything else too, including PC. While they're at it, maybe port Killer 7 to everything else too?
It depend of the kind of contract that nintendo has with grasshopper. Does these games were made only because of nintendo's money or grasshopper finance it. I guess we will know later on.
@@ct2651 I doubt there is any contract for exclusivity. These were clearly very budget friendly ports that could probably only be done one at a time, so they put it on the Switch since that's mainly where the No More Heroes games were sold on. If these sell well, then I'd expect a PC port later on, and even a Ps4 port at some point. Who knows though? Sadly games like Killer 7 haven't been ported off of PC so I guess it's just a matter of money at this point.
@@hosenpfefferjones4524 yes, we will see later on, we dont know yet.
One nit-pick on NMH1: K-Entertainments music when you walk in to search for an assassination gig isn’t that same atmospheric, smooth song it played on the Wii and PS3 version. Now it’s this super energetic, funky music that kinda doesn’t fit the vibe of that place. I have no clue why they moved around background songs. I get that Heavenly Star is gone but I think Heroes Paradise handled the issue just fine.
Like I said though, a huge nitpick. Not an actual problem. I just liked that track K Entertainment used to have.
Apparently it's not intentional and I've been told that it's a bug caused by the removal of Heavenly Star.
@Joey McSplat www.reddit.com/r/nomoreheroes/comments/jlgdom/what_really_happened_to_k_entertainment_song/
IT WAS PATCHED BACK IN!
@@Ghenry
That’s hilarious. Glad to know someone specifically found my comment and felt compelled to fix it. Either that or someone out there agrees with me. That’s awesome to hear though!
Honestly the only bugs I've really encountered are rendering issues, and whenever you enter a new boss the little cards that show up for loading screens don't change until you close the game and reopen it.
Was kinda worried that they removed the motion controls entirely since every reviewer and streamer played those games with the pro-controller only.
NMH with a regular pad just feels weird to me.
That pissed me off as well before I tried it myself.. I only ever played with motion so I needed it.. That's said I've played with the pro Controller ever since I got it 😂 idk even though the joy cons work it doesn't feel quite the same
I actually experienced a softlock in NMH on Switch: for some reason, the k-Entertainment assasination gig 15 doesn't start. I get out of the building, minimap is flashing with the objective but I don't get the usual message on screen telling me to reach the target location, so Travis just stands outside of K-Entertainment without being able to move.
Yo thanks for the heads-up.
I was waiting for this, it was literally impossible to find a Switch review from someone who could compare it to previous versions. Thanks!
First time I played the game was during the summer of this year through Dolphin. Luckily I was able to buy a bluetooth adapter so I could use a wii mote
Seeing how far this series has gone as someone who's only recently became a suda fan, I can't wait to see more ppl experience what I have
I can’t believe there is a person so poor they cannot buy a wii
@@theycallmejpj I have a wii, I just couldn't find a copy at the time
That Nintendo Direct impersonation was immaculate
No more hero’s 3 and Bayonetta 3 on the horizon, and their old games on the switch to hold you over til then, what a time to be alive!
I was just about to buy it, this video came out at a perfect time.
Eagerly waiting for your no more heroes 3 review
Pretty good assessment of the ports. I didn't notice the coconut minigame's issue but that's because I skipped it and most of the other side jobs I'm NMH2. I'm really happy that more people can experience my favorite series. I'll even direct newcomers to this video.
Thank you for all the Suda content man. Really appreciate it.
Oh, and NMH2 has an issue in the bj5 shmup minigame. You can't see the cursor when entering a name for high scores.
A little off topic but something I was reminded of with both of these games just getting ported. The first No More Heroes holds a special place in my heart not just for how much I love the game itself, but for when I played it too. NMH was the last game I played and beat the summer before I started college last year, so I've always seen it as a transition from one chapter of my life to the next. A sort of bittersweet goodbye to simpler times before taking my first steps into adulthood. I ended up finally getting to play NMH 2 a few months ago along with Travis Strikes Again after watching your videos since I was initially one of those people that just wrote it off as NMH 3 would be coming out soon. My initial playthrough of the original NMH and your videos have widened my tastes in games a bit I think, and I can't wait to play even more of Suda's games like Killer7 and The Silver Case to see what I've been missing out on. Here's to No More Heroes 3 and the future!
I'm so excited, it's like a dream come true
Your fake Nintendo Direct announcement for the Switch ports was perfect
That was real
I love those kinds of beginnings
I've always wanted to play these games, got the first one on Wii earlier in the year but my Wii (and the Wii remote) is the same one from 2007 and shared with the family so it's on the cusp of falling to pieces, so these ports are a dream come true. Finished NMH1 the other day and absolutely loved it, so once I have the cash I'm going to have a blast with the sequel (and I should probably try out Travis Strikes Again too). Can't wait for 2021!
Really good point about Travis Strikes back, I'll give it a shot
Couldn't wait for them to be on switch!
It’s such a beautiful day sir
New subscriber and have been watching your no more heroes reviews, I fell in love for the games despite never having a Nintendo and being a PlayStation player all my life, these ports alone are making me consider buying a switch... at least when more financially stable :P thank you so much for your in depth reviews and both you and Suda51 got a new fan
14:50 THIS STILL HURTS, DAMN
On the subject of No More Heroes 3, I wonder what kind of open-world Suda and the team at Grasshopper Manufacture will do as an improvement.
I literally hope it’s the same layout with different buildings so I can drive around and still know where I’m going like going back to your home town. Then just give us more characters to talk to and side stories. I want SD to feel alive now that Travis made it a big deal.
I really wish it has to do with the coming back from Destroyman and Kimmy in this game, since the assasin rankings have turned into this Galactic Superhero Ranking, it could be cool to be able to encounter some of these old characters in the world
I just picked up the first game a few days ago and I am loving it so far! I can’t believe I never played this back when I had a Wii! But I’m also glad I picked it up now as it seems like it may be the best version of the game! Can’t wait to become a huge fan of this series and get even more hyped for the 3rd game
So glad they’re finally releasing the physical releases ✨👏😎
This was my first Suda game. And I'm hooked lol
Now if platinum could port madworld on the switch, I could die a happy man
I am not even sure this is possible. I think there are many that would like this proposition but I personally believe that game should stand exactly where it is. I would not mind a sequel or spin-off title, though.
Now, when are we getting a port of dead rising chop till you drop?
@Brendan Milburn But that isn't chop till you drop
@Brendan Milburn It's a wildly different version and I enjoy demakes and whatnot. Regardless of it's quality, it's still something I would like to see come to a modern console.
15:30 - 15:45 I think you're right. The only Grasshopper games I played years ago were NMH1, NMH2 and Killer7. I played through TSA last year and it made me interested in giving the Kill the Past series a try.
Well even as a costume, Travis is still cool to be in Smash. If he was his own fleshed out character, along with the NMH 1+2 ports, and NMH3 coming down the line that would've been a grand fuckin' SLAM! But a home run with two of the bases covered is still fantastic!
The hype train is ON!!! definatly buying nomoreheroes ! when i get home today
Now we need to convince platinum games to give us a remake or remaster of Mad world
my god, never thought ppl actually remember this game
Thanks man i wasn't sure about the nintendo switch port
The game crashed once during Shinobu's fight, and I got softlocked (couldn't move Travis, only the camera) after pausing and unpausing fast in Holly Summers' stage. Other than that, I had no issues. And I had 0 issues while playing through 2.
I recently bought the first. Currently enjoying it on my brothers switch.
I was originally interested with NMH3 because of the trailer so when they announced the remaster last week, it was a no brainer for me to buy the first 2. I am really enjoying it so far. Challenging and tedious at times but it's loads of fun.
Enjoyed the NMH3 fancam
Let's hope SUDA gets all of his games to Switch and other Suda game's not released on Switch.
The issues I found with NHM 1 are
The opening cutscene's audio doesn't sync up properly. The video is a bit behind. You can tell with the boss countdown
Some audio has some crackling. Like the selecting a save file, thunder ryu saying "I know, you want that", and some wrestling tapes just to name a few
The batting mini game is terrible with both control schemes. You either sacrifice reliable inputs, or power. Without motion controls, the ball usually hits 1 or 3 guys
No button remapping. Yes, you can use the system button remapping, but it's honestly preferable to have in built in the game itself. Just so I don't have to go into the settings for every game
I do kinda wish the loading screen logo didn't lag
But it's overall a great port, but it still needs some ironing. I already emailed engine software about it. They said that they are taking note of every issue. Whether or not there is a patch is the teams choice
My copy of No More Heroes 2 for the Wii came in the day before the announcements for the ports happened. I didn't think much of it cuz I was going to collect the Wii version sooner or later though
I played earlier this year NMH1+2 to get ready for NMH3, I played TSA enough last year.
I still bought both games on Switch the day they came out.
I won't play them now, but as soon as the release date of NM3 is near, I will make sure to play NMH1, 2, and TSA on my Switch.
I'm gonna get it
I'm looking forward to your no more heroes 3 review more than the actual game
Hey now I at least bought NMH 1. I'll get NMH 2 with my next check
I have a physical copy of Travis Strikes Again and would love to get these too but they haven't announced a physical copy yet. Hopefully I don't have to wait for Limited Run Games to pick them up.
Breaks my heart to hear they took Heavenly Star out, I've loved that song ever since I played Child of Eden on the 360 with the Kinect 😥😥😥
Man, I had never heard of no more heros until this switch port came out and I finished the first game in like 5 days ( a long time for my attention span lol ) and i think I'm obbsessed now. I was so confused as to why i had never even heard of this game before because i truly found it to be so charming and fun to play, I'm really looking foward to the 3rd game although i havnt even finshed the second or travis strikes again.
So glad that I own the originals on Wii and now I have at least number two on switch. I'm going through it and I have a covered some issues like I had an issue with my pro controller and any driving sequences, it kept on trying to jump without me even hitting the button I had a switch to hand held. Also I don't know if it's just me but the inverted camera seemed to be off. To get the true inversion I had to put x-axis on and y-axis off, or it was the other way around. But other than that I've really enjoyed the port and I'm so glad to go back to these games
Hell yeah
And it’s among the top sellers!!!!
I noticed that there was an update for nmh 1 and 2. Fixed some of the bugs. Couldn't help but notice tho, if you're playing nmh 1 and you go the closet in travis' room his glasses disappear lol
Now i want a madworld port
Thanks for the update. I was reluctant in buying it before reviews were out but if it's a WII port with blood intact, I'm willing to invest in a bigger MINI SD card just to get them. Hopefully, I'll beat them before Cyberpunk get released.
Wow, one of the 1st games I owned on Wii. Came in the same box as Red Steel 😅. This was a great game and Im looking forward to a replay on the Switch. 😎
OOOOHHHHHHH THIS MAN SPEAKING FACTS IN THE LAST 2 MINS
I finally bought the first game two weeks ago when it was 25% off and I had enough cash. It was well worth the wait, especially since I’m now old enough to appreciate what makes games good. 1 9/10 playthroughs later, and all I have left to do is beat Henry.
I’m on Bitter, btw.
Edit: beat him about 4 hours ago
I don't have a switch so I really hope these get released on PC, PS4/5 and Xbox sometime down the line; I don't mind Heroes Paradise, but I've never played the original NMH1 and I actually really enjoyed NMH2 and these seem like the definitive versions of both of these games.
God i still have the original nmh 1 and 2 on the Wii but my Wii has dies on me for good, so thankful for this port even if i cant hear heavenly star anymore.
I got both of these games when they came out on Switch, but only recently started playing them. I have to say, they're really good! I've beaten the first one, and I'm close to finishing the second, but the final boss is a pain in the ass. I also want to add, in terms of glitches and bugs, I haven't had a problem other than the second game crashing during one of the boss fights.
As a kid I love the second a little bit more preferring the game and like seeing Travis take things more serious but after being able to play it again but older and experiencing videos like yours, which already made me release the first one was better, made No More Heroes 1 the definitive best game of the two.
the story and characters of 1 is hands down far superior in every way while 2 is just a lot more edgy and vulgar. While the combat for 1 is more strategic (even if just a little) with 2 being button mashy on poor AI sponges.
I'm super happy this got ported so I could reexperience both games and come to my own conclusions rather than really only on youtubers!
P.S. Travis Strikes Again was still necessary and great game to play, and thinking about the people who would've just wanted a port makes cranky
In the first game me and a friend of mine found two side missions in which the game crashes o freeze: one in killing gig n° 15, the second with the part time job with scorpions. I hope they'll fix it soon!
Thanks for highlighting the motion controls. So few reviewers talked about it.
I heard someone bring up that they did cell phone calls in the wii version before bosses, is that true?
Finally getting to see what No More Heroes 3 will look like proves that Suda never lost his step. I’d be easy to just do another assassins ranking story but what I always wanted to see was the assassins come together to fight a greater enemy. Travis has come full circle in this twisted Star Wars riff. I’m glad he finally has a good reason to fight.
Fingers crossed for a steam port.
Imagine a matching power glove peripheral for this game to match Travis' glove for nmh3
I'm so happy these games got ported, so now we will have the WHOLE SERIES on 1 system which is awesome.
There's a side mission in NMH 1 that made the game lock himself, the side mission is the one with the secret reward
mmmm destroyman theme
currently beating the 1st game after putting it on shelf for 3+ month on 5th rank since controller broke (on dolphin)
beaten it 3 days from this comment age
20hr playtime mild lmao
Grr, okay you convinced me to grab 1 and try it. I never got to play these games but I do love quirky silly Japanese games so I hope i enjoy this one
I played the games and I am a fan of the series I love Travis I love the story and crazyness of the world I loved THE BLOOD SHEAD! Ha but man now I can’t wait to play 3 I’m saving Travis strikes back when we finally get the release date of 3 but man I just want to say I am officially in the garden of Madness
Have you tried Paradise Killer?
So glad to see Travis again!
So I never played the original nmh2 on the wii, but I watched gameplay of it when I was younger. Id watch my favorite boss, at the time, which was Margaret Moonlight over and over again. I dont know if you experienced this but when I was playing the switch version, the music for Philistine was a different version then I remembered. Just something that im curious about and if anyone had the answer as to why that song was changed
I got to finally play 2 for the first time with this release and even though my negative feelings against the game seem to match most of the community's opinion I'm definetly glad i played it and have it.. I really enjoyed some of the boss matches even though some of the levels can burn in hell and that last boss fight was just unfair.. I don't know how many times I got launched out the window before I got him to the balloon phase. A no more heroes boss should be like the ones in Cuphead, complicated attackpatterns that are 100% avoidable if you can see them coming.
Gooooooood i wish there was a pc port!
I thought the last 2 boss fights in the first game felt odd on the Switch. The penultimate one seemed a lot harder, and the last one was way easier than I remember. I'll also say, I got Travis Strikes Again the day it came out. I've always loved these games.
I'm so PAL regions get the uncensored version of the game. Replaying it, it feels like a new experience. But I will miss heavenly star. Though I do wonder if they could replace it with another pop song and its music video. Might be controversal though if they did
I'm so happy the games got ported. NMH is one my favorite series of all time I really do hope NMH fans play TSA also it is really good.
I was so thankful for controller support since my Joycons drift more than cars in a fast and furious movie
I became interested in No More Heroes back in 2018 when I remember seeing Suda saying he wanted Travis in Smash. I then looked up the other games and looked at Travis Strikes Again and I was hyped. Even if Travis Strikes Again had a different gameplay style, it still looked like a good game. I'm actually very glad 1 and 2 got ported to the Switch cause, while I still have my Wii, it would've been difficult to find second hand copies. I hope they do a physical release cause I want to get Travis Strikes Again and NMH 3 physical. I'm so hyped for NMH 3
Picked up nmh1 thinking it would be alright...
I now own nmh2, travis strikes again with all DLC, and soon, no more heroes 3.
Bought these immediately when I heard they stealth dropped on the eShop.
I had only ever played the PS3 port of NMH1 and always wanted to play the sequel, but my Wii's busted and can't read discs.
Only real problem I ran into was in NMH2. The game crashed three times during the Kimmy fight, and once when loading one of the Sylvia "phone sex" cutscenes.
Anyway, loved both of these games and bought Travis Strikes Again after finishing them.
Yea I'm definitely in the camp of people who couldn't play the originals for several reasons. I bought a Wii-u, both NMH games brand new and a wii mote and nunchuck. Even bought Madworld cause I'd never played that either. At the end of it all, I never got to experience the game cause of how clunky my setup is and how clunky the setup was on the wii-u. I found that they'd remastered the games on the eshop, not even having seen the NMH 3 trailer. Definitely psyched to play through these. Even bought TSB to complete the package.
