Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes

What up, kids and squids?!

This week on NEP we’ve got lots of news on the roaring success of Smash and Switch, JRPGs galore, and Oni and Galen duke it out over OPINIONS. Plus, an awesome listener email asking whom we would invite to a Xmas party. Would you rather be at Oni’s party or Galen’s?

Check out the timestamps and our email address below where you can send us your listener mail!

Suda51 appeared during a Famitsu live stream this week for Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes. The main highlight was that we were finally told what will be included in the game’s season pass. Outside of that, there were a few other topics discussed that we wanted to bring attention to.

First, a “Spicy” mode is confirmed for Travis Strikes Again. It’ll be distributed as a free patch later on. After clearing “Sweet”, “Mild”, or “Bitter” modes, you can access “Spicy” which is said to be very difficult. On the bright side, you’ll be able to carry over items into this mode. However, even with them, it’ll pose a significant challenge.

In addition to the main voice cast, Grasshopper Manufacture also revealed some details on the DLC and Season Pass that Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is getting. The DLC consists of two main volumes.

Volume 1 will be released on February 28th, 2019. Titled Black Dandelion, it’ll introduce a new playable character, Shinobu Jacbos. 

Volume 2 will be released on April 30th, 2019. Titled Bubblegum Fatale, it’ll also feature a new playable characzer, Bad Girl. It’ll also add a new stage, Killer Marathon.

The Season Pass containing both volumes will be available starting January 18th, the game’s release day. It’ll cost $9.99/£8.99/€9.99. There’s no word yet on whether or not the DLC volumes can also be purchased separately.

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes

Travis Strikes Again is a part of the No More Heroes Universe, but that wasn’t always the case. It was when the Switch was originally unveiled that director Suda51 felt the hardware would match up well with the character. After this, the storyline was tweaked to focus on Travis and drum up excitement for No More Heroes 3.

Suda51 has also revealed that “the core team [at first] was only five people.” Since then, it has grown to 15 during development. The small team size has helped Suda51 build a stronger core for future project and work with younger staffers whereas he didn’t speak to them directly on previous titles.
