No More Heroes 3 was first revealed during E3’s Nintendo Direct in June. It’ll be the first core game in the No More Heroes series since No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle was released in 2010. The game stars Travis Touchdown, the hero, of course, who’s on a journey toward becoming the world’s best assassin. And he swings something not entirely unlike a lightsaber. No exact release date was given — just that No More Heroes 3 will be coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2020. … [Read more...] about Travis Touchdown returns in colorful No More Heroes 3 trailer
