Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is receiving a fancy collector's edition on Nintendo Switch and pre-orders have now gone live.
The bundle is available exclusively through French retailer Pix’n Love (shipping is available to most countries worldwide) and is set to be released in February 2019. That means you'll have to wait a little longer to receive your game (it releases elsewhere on 18th January) but the little extras will hopefully make up for that. We have a couple of images and a list of the included goodies for you below.
- The physical Travis Strikes Again game for Nintendo Switch (season pass included).
- A lavishly illustrated 80-page book on the creation of the first two No More Heroes, including an exclusive interview with SUDA51 about Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes.
- 4 two-sided lithographs on card stock featuring official illustrations from Travis Strikes Again.
- A cardboard box with Pantone colours.
If you want one for yourself, you can pre-order a copy here for 69,90€ (approx. $79.54 / £62.73). A limited edition of the bundle signed by Suda51 was also on sale, but pre-orders sold out incredibly quickly as you might expect.
Does this Collector's Edition tempt you into buying a copy of the game early, or will you be waiting to see how the game performs at release? Suda51 recently revealed that the success of this game could directly impact a potential No More Heroes 3.

It's nice though quite a steep price. Will just get the normal physical edition on its actual release date.
PixNLove & Suda_51 took a dump on Switch collectors with this. Don't support this game or this behavior.
Nothing there that I really care about. I'll stick to the standard edition, which was pretty cheap to preorder on Amazon.
I've yet to hear anything positive about this game, at least from the post-Pax videos. Unless there's a been a massive overhaul, I don't expect even N-Life will give it higher than a six. This feels like an early cash-in effort before reviews roll in. Those prices are nuts for a game with booklet and lithos.
Wanted to get the signed copy, but already sold out, like mentioned. Got the collector's edition instead. But I do agree pretty much with everyone about the game looking really rough, and unpolished. I'm trying to keep my mind positive about it, but with every new video, I become more and more worried. Genuinely hope it get's supported so we'll get NMH 3.
If it looked like a good game then I would consider getting this
I am honest, I still not feeling the game as is, but maybe the stream with Suda51 reveals a bit more...
Wait, so another game with no standard proper retail release?
Anyway, this format is something I don't quite like. I want an actual new entry of the series. A No More Heroes 3.
even as a huge fan of the series, I'm having trouble justifying giving that asking price. I thought Travis was above season passes anyway, and pressuring fans to buy it by saying the sales will impact the probability of a third main series entry (which we all know is always the case) feels... Unfair, and a possible slap in the face if they eventually say it won't be made.
I'll probably get the game eventually if it doesn't turn out to be an insult to the franchise, probably won't get the season pass assuming it will require extra payment. Anyway, I'll wait and see. This pre-order and season pass business has escalated way too far when it starts affecting spin-offs of my favourite under-the-radar series, so I'm more likely to pass nowadays because of such practices.
Wait. There is one standard release. And very cheap indeed. That makes me think they don't take this game too seriously. So it can't be that good.
But I could get it for almost 20 euros, so I'll think about it. I hope there is some review published before launch date.
@Moroboshi876 They certainly show very little respect for their fans. Not sure how they continue to get funding....
I will buy it blind as i love the developer and the series, but i think normal physical will suffice. I have enough crap as it is.
@Moroboshi876 Yes there will be a review on here and it will either say '8-Great ' or ' 4-Poor' depending on who is given the task.
Do something similar with NMH3 and I'll buy it.
Nah, just bring on the game. Let's see what it's about, cause the hype is so high right now, it better deliver, or we all might be kissing NMH3 goodbye...
I wasn't even waiting for this, but just bought it.
I'm such a sucker for fear of missing out. Especially for special editions or any type of physical to be honest.
@MedusaMadman77 How is this disrpesectful towards fans?
Yeah I’m hoping this will be a good game like Suda 51’s other projects. I think that it looks some mindless fun but I’ll wait to see the reviews regardless.
@wyzworld76 Sorry, they're completely respectful to 500 of their fans. The rest can take a long walk off a short pier.
What a cheap shot at fans to not have enough Signature signed and worse no announcement for the release either. No even the NA for me heard just now. I'll buy the CE no sig release but that goes to show how little they have for the fanbase. And I checked just two days ago on the site they had no announcement for such a release unlike Street Fighter. The UK version still have "pre-order" but I think they blocked anyone outside of UK to make those order but then screw the rest over.
I only bought for Collectors Edition beyond that they are losing Fans doing what they are doing when the NA has Season Pass. The CE better has a Season Pass for what they are charging as well.
@MedusaMadman77 Lots of consumer material based crap is limited, this isn't just this particular at incident. That creates hype and interest, and media mentions. They could love their fans more, and charge even less. Captilism isn't about treating anyone decently, ever.
Ultimately it's boxed junk, that could be avoided altogether, and it's someone's writing, from a person you'll never even meet in person. I think questioning the value of any of this, is more relevant a question than the limited nature of it. And would you still have had an issue if you'd been one of the 500?
Typical, I work nights so as soon as I saw this when I woke up I shot over to pre order..... Sold out of everything
Damn night shift
@E_maniac Remember the day of Street Fighter 30th Ann. and how they released it. The server were hit hard that pre-order and I was lucky to finally get it. I do hate this kinda thing they do to the fanbase just make a limited about for that day or week and say after that no more pre-orders. That would stop the rush and insure those that really really want it will get it. And those that are procrastinators well that will be their own doing. Not really happy I bought it but being a CE suks goat is all I got to say.
Bought! Was going to go digital with this but that art book is too appealing, hope it's good as I was disappointed at egx, also hope they added voice acting
Why all the hate for this? Played at MCM, and thought it was cool. Goichi Suda is cool and clearly loves his women as I do, so should be good.
@NybroCymerej I highly doubts that's what the backlash is more with how the rug was pulled out from under the fanbase to know it was released and no one knew and was too late. Now if they announced it and they missed it that is different. But this has no such happening.
I always loved the characters and style of No More Heroes, so I'd love to have the collectors edition, except... From watching the preview videos, I'm still not sold on the game. I'd hate to shell out the extra cash for this edition and then end up not even liking the game. I'm definitely waiting for the reviews on this one.
I have never liked NMH I found then quite dull and meh... This game looks really meh to me. It sucks for the people that wanted the signed copies can't get em, that would annoy me lol hope this game does well
@MedusaMadman77 the only person thats going to walk off a pier is you troll.
"includes seasons pass" uhhh.....what is all that about?
@wyzworld76 Truthfully, I would have. With such small numbers, I'd rather it be random, a giveaway, or pretty much anything that doesn't support bots & scalpers.
