No More Heroes 1 and 2 finally made their long-awaited return on Switch this week. Both Wii games were announced and released as part of the latest Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase.
Engine Software has confirmed that it was responsible for the new Switch versions of No More Heroes 1 and 2. The developer has worked on several other Switch projects and ports including Ni no Kuni, Little Nightmares, and The Legend of Heroes.
We interviewed Engine Software about a year ago and spoke with the studio about its past experiences with Switch. You can catch up on it here.

No More Heroes 3 will no longer release this year as originally planned. The game has been pushed back to 2021, Grasshopper Manufacture and director Suda51 have announced.

Engine Software LinkedIn profile suggests Killer7 could be coming to Switch
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Update (8/16): Ruud van de Moosdijk, Engine Software’s owner & VP of development, has said that “the unannounced project I am working on with a prolific Japanese developer, is not Killer7 for Switch”. He adds that the LinkedIn banner “should have been changed, as in the end we only did a PC version of Killer7.”
Original (8/14): Towards the end of 2018, Suda51’s classic GameCube title Killer7 was released on PC. Although NIS America published the game, it was ported by Engine Software – a studio that has worked on several projects for Switch. Now thanks to the company’s expertise, the game could be heading to Nintendo’s console.
A top developer at Engine Software shows a Killer7 remaster on his LinkedIn page for PC and Switch where he’s listed as executive producer. There’s also a note on his resume mentioning that he’s a producer “on an unannounced title in collaboration with a prolific Japanese game designer”.
Here’s a look:
Suda51 back to his teasing ways with No More Heroes 3
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Suda51 made a cameo appearance during today’s Devolver Direct 2020 stream. It wasn’t until the credits that he showed up, and he was only on screen for a couple of seconds. In that brief time though, viewers were shown another look at No More Heroes 3. We have a snapshot from the credits above.
Something similar was done during New Game+ Expo. Suda51 teased fans with gameplay, but covered up much of the screen.
No More Heroes 3 was last said to be launching in 2020, but it’s unclear if that’s still the case.
Video: Suda51 teases No More Heroes 3 gameplay

Suda51 kicked off today’s New Game+ Expo broadcast in a bit of a cheeky way. Rather than showing us direct-feed gameplay of No More Heroes 3, he instead decided to show “footage” by sitting the front of the screen.
Here’s the video in question:
Obviously it’s a bit tough to make out the action, but perhaps it’s better than nothing. No More Heroes 3 is said to be arriving sometime in 2020, but we haven’t seen much of it so far.

It’s been a full year since No More Heroes 3 was announced for Switch. A couple of trailers have been published, but we haven’t really had a chance to see how the action looks in-game.
If development is still on track to wrap up before 2020 ends, we should have a proper trailer soon. But at least in the meantime, director Suda51 shared a new image on social media today that gives a fans a taste of what No More Heroes 3 actually looks like. The in-game image can be found above.
No More Heroes 3 is said to be launching on Switch later in 2020.
